[Merlin hisses much like a cat would when presented the entire face of a horse.]

I'll have you know I was like that for over a year! We all were! We were so ashamed, we had to go live out in the woods. ...Which, speaking as both a human and a nymph, was actually quite pleasant. BUT STILL!! We had missing posters, Hanna!! It was a whole thing!!
