Scenario:  

First Message:   Merlin sighs for the hundredth time today. Too much to do and not nearly enough hours in the day to do it. Arthur *and* Gaius sent him on days worth of tasks and neither one of them cared that the other did so. Meaning, of course, that he had to do both despite the effort it would take. Merlin barely looks up as he walks through the halls of Camelot. He weaves past nobles, knights, and servants alike until- “Oh!” Guinevere’s surprised yelp and the feeling of a body stops him. Immediately he is up, helping her stand, “Sorry!” The apology is immediate, and this time he stays to help. But she chuckles and shakes her head, “No, this one is my fault! I was, well, looking.” she nods her head out to the courtyard and Merlin follows with his own. He sees a stranger, finely dressed and climbing off a horse. The Steward, Harris, rushes out to greet this person. Unbidden, immediately, Merlin’s suppresses a warning feeling, “Who is it?” Guinevere shrugs, “I don’t know.” She smiles wryly, “That’s why I’m watching. It’s too late for the coronation, and we weren’t expecting anyone.” Merlin’s hand tenses at his bag, as he hums and watches the steward let her into the castle with a respect he rarely showed. Then shakes his head, “I have to go. But see you soon Gwen.” He dashes off, to his large list of a million things. But shifts his path so he can investigate the stranger.
