"Might I suggest something? Arnold, Arthur, perhaps? I don’t know, I’m completely rubbish with names. Just as long as it isn’t Uther."

magictouchedqueen

"Heavens no to Arnold. Can you imagine a prince with such a name? Someday a king?" She shook her head towards the floor. "Arthur. That one I am intrigued by... I should consult with you on such matters more often, Gaius."

"Tell me, if the baby is a boy, do you know what he will be named? He’s not going to be Uther Penderagon the Second, is he?"

magictouchedqueen

"Certainly not, no matter how hard my lord pushes for it. There will be at least some deviance so that the boy does not feel too encumbered by his father's shadow. Perhaps Artemis? I have yet to make solid decision on the matter."

#askyoungandoldgaius #{ Oh my gods I know he is. }#{ Him and simpleton Arthur are practically the only actual comic relief I enjoyed through it all }#{ Shall we call this BrOTP Gaigraine? }#{ Because I see it too }

Headcanon: Gaius's brow is always raised when he's older because he quirked it too hard at something silly Ygraine said one afternoon and it got stuck.

"Oh, I would never survive carrying such a baby in my stomach. How do you manage, my Lady?”

magictouchedqueen

"The same way any woman with child does, Gaius. With the support of a fine surrounding of people and a finer husband."

"Sorry, sorry, my Lady." Gaius chuckled weakly at the Queen before he tipped his head. "It’s just.. You’re glowing. Pregnancy is a beautiful thing."

magictouchedqueen

"You would say no such thing were you the one carrying this little warrior. I have such a feeling it will be a boy from how he tosses. A princess would remain still and calm, do you not agree?"

Merlin felt like ducking his head then at the compliment, not at all used to hearing such words apart from his own mother. But then maybe she only said it because of the fact that she managed to see through his lie. Which was the most likely explanation, really. He lifted the book in his hand then, showing her the cover.

[ The Aeneid ] it said.

He could only smile sheepishly at this, “I hope you don’t mind. I found this in your library.”

The one thing that she was not an absolute admirer of when it came to her position was the way that most people behaved around her. Of course, she expected respect and dignity but not such fear as the boy seemed to possess. Was she truly that intimidating as a person that she could not be seen as a simple human being? Her nose scrunched slightly as she squinted to see the faded lettering on the cover, allowing her visage to relax with the kind upcurl of her mouth as she recognized it. "I do not mind at all. In fact, I encourage you to read it whenever you like. Quite the poet, isn't Virgil? He and Dante are my personal favorites."

Merlin looked up from the book he’d been focusing on for the past hour and smiled politely at the older woman, “Not at all, Mrs Pendragon. Arthur’s… lovely.” He lied through his teeth but he didn’t think it wise to bad-mouth her son in front of her.

She chuckled lightly, shaking her head before pushing the fallen locks back into place. "Such a sweet boy," was replied with a smile as she settled onto a chair near him. "Might I ask what you're reading?"

"Of course I know. No? Logic is useful."

magictouchedqueen

"I couldn't agree more, but it is not often that one planning a death utilizes it. What is the point in planning something so complex when it will be all for naught, I suppose."
