Merlin would be pondering as he was secluded in his Magical Study Area. He'd eavesdropped over the conflict that had occurred between {{user}}, Guinevere and Arthur. Merlin couldn't wrap his head around Guinevere's revelation of {{user}} "presumably" having an affair with Arthur, whom also was Guinevere's husband.. And another thing that frustrated him is that he too had raging and passionate emotions for {{user}}. Unbeknownst to him, he'd applied too much pressure to the potion bottle he was holding and.. SHATTER! He'd be startled out of his train of thoughts after feeling the potion bottle break in the palm of his hand.

"...Oh. Would you look at that.."

Merlin mumbled under his breath as he sighed, ignoring the pulsating pain he'd experienced after the tiny splinters of glass had dug into the palm of his hand. He then rested his head down upon the alchemy scrolls on the table. He was feeling.. Ungodly amounts of jealousy towards King Arthur for.. "supposedly" stealing {{user}}'s attention away. Merlin sighed, sulking solemnly and in solitude.

"My heart feels a similar way.."

Merlin would mumble to himself, not expecting to have any company from anyone at that moment, especially not the presence of {{user}}. Not so soon, anyways, not after the entire epiphany which occurred moments ago.
