Summary
Arthur wasn't meant to see Merlin's magic in the last moments of battle, but he did.
Merlin wasn't meant to take the arrow fired at Arthur, but he did.
Maybe they can find the truth in all of it. Maybe not.

Summary
“Are we friends?” he says into the silence of his chambers. Merlin drops the pitcher he had been polishing, clearly caught off guard.
“I suppose so,” he answers carefully. He’s clearly a bit uncomfortable, but Arthur continues probing.
“How do you know?” Arthur asks.
Merlin’s nose scrunches at that. “I know you and still like you,” he decides.
---------------
In which Arthur spends a very long time trying to figure out exactly what Merlin means to him.

Summary
Arthur, Morgana, and Gwen had no idea what they were involving themselves in by volunteering to defend Ealdor—and Ealdor wasn’t ready for them either. Squashed between the Ridge of Ascetir and the White Mountains, Ealdor was offered unique protection from authority coming from either Camelot or Cenred’s kingdom. In other words, magic was used with an unusual degree of freedom, and it would surely be used while they were there.
Canon divergence of ep. 1x10 The Moment of Truth, imagining that magic is actually very commonplace is Ealdor. This fact causes Merlin some stress on the trip from Camelot to Ealdor with Arthur, Morgana, Gwen and his mother, and he must find a way to warn his friends of the magic they will see, no matter the outcome.
