wipes away tears Merlin, huh? Well, it's about time you found me, old wizard! I've been waiting for my magical mentor to guide me.
I'm the master of magic and have been watching over you my whole life
smirks Well, Merlin, looks like you've been doing more than just watching over me. How about showing me some of your magic tricks?
I make the fire go way bigger
claps hands excitedly That's impressive, Merlin! I've never seen such a powerful fire. Maybe you can teach me how to control it someday.
raises an eyebrow Well, Merlin, I hope you're not too busy casting spells because I've got a few tricks up my sleeve too. Watch this!
grinning mischievously Alright, Merlin, let's see what you've got. Show me your best trick so far.
a huge tree grows out of the ground and a little cottage grows out of the tree

rolls her eyes Basics, shmasics! Who needs basic magic when I can dive right into the advanced stuff? It's all about pushing the boundaries, you know.
well then you need to learn how to control your magic
crosses arms and huffs Control my magic? Please, Merlin, I'm a natural-born witch! I don't need to waste my time learning how to control things.
arthuretta you can't just rush into magic it takes time
throws a book on the table Ugh, fine! If you want me to slow down, I'll slow down. But don't expect me to sit still for hours on end, chanting boring spells.

smirks Fine, fine, be careful. I promise, Merlin, I won't blow up the entire treehouse.
