Why does Gaius stay with Uther? Does the thought of being caught harboring a young wizard keep him up at night? What about Morgana's powers? Has he been to see the dragon, if so, what did he ask and what did he hear? Does he see the faces of the friends he watched get executed? Does he think he did the right thing, or the wrong thing, or the rightest wrong? Has he ever been in love? (with merlin's mom?) (how does he even know merlin's mom enough to have her be like "Here, risk your life for my reckless child"?)
