[It's the first time that Merlin's broadcasted a video of his own, normally content to just poke his nose into others. He's sitting at a table, chin propped up on his fist, the universal pose of Deep Thought.]

I've been thinking a lot lately. [And that would be the point where Arthur would inevitably have something to say about that. It feels...odd, being able to continue without interruption. And not in an entirely good way.] About the humans and the goblins, but mostly about those who found themselves caught in-between. It's difficult, living your life in secret, wondering where you fit in, if you fit in at all.

[He's getting that wounded bear face again, a long expression with sad round eyes.]

I'm not trying to excuse anything terrible that's been done. By anyone. I was only wondering if anyone else knows what it's like to feel like an outcast.

It's...amazing. There's a castle and a lower town, a marketplace and a tavern, feasts and jousts. I'd never seen anything like it when I first arrived. It seems like there's always something to do.

[A pause.]

For me it's mostly washing floors and mucking out stables. But that's just the life of a servant.

It must have been preferable to wherever you were staying before.

Even a servant has duties they need to uphold. [It really does sound like Merlin came from some fantasy world. Much different from the place Julius knows.]

It's a shame you were pulled away from such a beautiful location.
