Of course, it's smart, he is the most powerful archdruid in all of Briton.
[ Myrddin deserved more than praise, he deserved full respect. But Myrddin's reasoning to have Gwenhwyfar as support is more complicated than that. He is right, Gwenhwyfar is prone to recklessness and her temper. She takes every word he speaks to her to heart, too personally. And once the fluster and embarrassment pass, Gwenhwyfar's expression turns into a more critical stare.
She had lied to this stranger about her marriage but as far as she is concerned, she may as well be. Lovers aside, no man can have her as a wife other than her betrothed. And no matter how much Gwenhwyfar wants to berate him for all the pain she had endured by her captors and a handful of abductions, she doesn't budge.
Unless he can pick up the anger and pain radiating from Gwenhwyfar that she tries so hard to bury. ]
Would any king tolerate your foolery? [ Just... moving past the fact that, yes, she threw a rock at him, and yes, she swore at him and nearly threw her own tantrum. Truly, the pinnacle of maturity, that's for certain. The only hint of discontent Gwenhwyfar displays is a flare of her nostrils. ]
No. [ Poor Merlin, really, he was about to see just how much she took every word to heart. ]
I will not forget. I've been taken far away from my home already, long before I arrived to all of this. All I want is to be home with my mother and be by his side.
[ That much is the truth but Gwenhwyfar... curiously doesn't answer his question. ]
