ooh are we playing that card then ARE WE NOW? edmund fascinated and wandering around camelot comparing life and fiction, tries not to be too goggle-eyed whenever he sees guinevere, or skeptical when he sees merlin. he wonders what will happen in the intervening years to turn these people into their legends, because right now, they're all tripping over each other and their own two feet and it makes edmund want to roll his eyes.

he'll keep an eye on this camelot. there's a lot of good can come from being allied with a kingdom with merlin on its side. providing merlin keeps his damnfool neck out of trouble, and is subtle about his indiscretions.
