[Merlin can relate. He's used to hiding things, used to keeping quiet and waving things off and he finds it difficult to talk about things as it is, already. He's been getting a little better about it in the City, although...

He does wonder, sometimes, if that's really such a good thing.

He listens quietly, staying fairly close but lets her be, with Necromancer, not too close just in case but still very much there if she would feel he needs him to be. Which she probably does, he guesses.

It does all make sense, aside from one thing.]

Why did they do that...?
