merlin is the extrovert and arthur is the intro lever what are you guys Talking about???
merlin who makes friends where ever he goes, merlin who was smiling and exited and ready to chat upon entering a bustling city for the first time in his whole life, merlin who was the first to start an actual friendship with arthur, merlin who loves people from the minute he meets them,
merlin loves a party and a crowd, he goes mad sitting alone for too long, he finds a person to talk to the minute he is upset, he literally cannot function without people around him and you have the gaul to call him and Introvert?!?
and seriously? ARTHUR PENDRAGON?!? AN EXTROVERT!?!? literally where?
he has absolutely no real friends before merlin, he can hardly speak at a social gathering, he stumbles his way through every single party they attend. when merlin starts talking to a new person and bringing them along for things arthur is affronted and horrified at the idea
arthur literally pushed his closest friends away every time he is the slightest bit upset, he ends days of meeting and social events exhaustedly sighing and asking merlin to leave early. he literally has no idea how to be normal or calm around a group of people. he just reads out a script he’s learned in his head.
merlin is the only reason arthur had any friends literally at all. he introduces all of them and he keeps in touch with them. if merlin hadn’t shown up i am fully convince arthur would have willing spent his whole life holed up alone in his room
