Merlin may or may not have been accidentally left behind by the knights in their haste to get Arthur and Morgana and Gwen back to the castle in their new childish forms. He also may or may not have used his innate magic to influence a wild boar to protect him. This protection may or may not have led to the sheepish knights sent back out to find him discovering him growling and snapping at them like his protective surrogate mama.

This all may or may not have to do with the image of a tiny little 1-2 year old Merlin, covered in mud, on all fours, growling at the big bad knights that have *no* idea what to do with him.

Er, maybe. *wince*
