Another brilliant chapter.
I love to see pining boys pining. One day they will do the math, and realize that pining boy + pining boy = a couple in love. *happy sigh*

Hmmm - what could Merlin's game be? I wish I could say I was worried, but I'm not. Arthur may be self-absorbed, but Merlin's heart is pure. Leading Nimue to Arthur is the same as leading Arthur to Nimue, isn't it? Just - how will he set his trap? Oh wait, this is Merlin - he doesn't use PEOPLE for a trap.

Can't wait!
