Summary
Without thinking, Arthur blurts out, “Maybe you can teach me a spell?”
Merlin stiffens again, looking as though he’s braced for ridicule, and Arthur knows immediately that he can’t rescind the words. “Why would you want that?”
“Come on, Merlin. I can’t exactly have my servant being better at something than I am, now can I?”
Or,
Three months after lifting the ban on magic, Arthur catches Morgana and Merlin practicing a spell together. After initially struggling to come to terms with, he asks to be taught a spell as a gesture of acceptance. He is shocked to learn that magic is hard, and Merlin is actually quite good at it. Who would have guessed?
