This is gorgeous and long and I am sure I am missing lots of things because I still don't know the canon, and also this show is like no Arthurian legend I have ever heard. BUT. It's so lovely! And the sense of impending doom is so heavy, but it's not heavy enough to bring down the whole piece.
Arthur follows Merlin’s gaze and his eyes land on Gwen and Lancelot, seated side by side at the table. Gwen laughs at something Lancelot is saying, and he is all a-blush as he tells his story, looking simultaneously pleased and overwhelmed by the whole situation. There is an unsettled look in Merlin’s eyes as he watches them, and finally he says, “Go ask your queen to dance, Arthur.” Oh Arthur, you have no idea what's going on! I can't decide if it would be worse to know as Merlin does or be blindsided later. Also I love your Morgana. <333
