A competent servant is expected to walk two steps behind but Merlin has never thought of himself as much of a servant and Arthur wholeheartedly agrees.

“If I’m behind you, eyes down, all I’ll see is your wide arse. By your side I can watch for danger and still have your back.” Arthur cuffs Merlin across the back of his head but he’s smiling despite himself.

With Merlin's insistence, this is a pattern that plays out over years, until one fated day Merlin isn’t at his King’s side. Their paths diverge.

Merlin has waited centuries for them to cross again.

Poor Merlin. Loved the visual of them walking side by side because Merlin was a crap servant!

Insults, friendly shenanigans and tragedy. That's the show in a nutshell.
