HI! So much yes to the weird phrasing. I was noticing this episode that even when he's saying things he knows other people won't want to hear, he's not coming across as unkind about it anymore. He's learned how to modulate his voice in such a way that he doesn't sound like an arrogant jerk, or as though he's being cold; even each of the three or so times he told Merlin to mind his own business, he was not unkind about it. And that makes me love him with a fiery burning love.
All that domesticity, gah, YES. And Merlin being there with him before, during and after most conversations; his access to Arthur has never been more explicitly unique.
Everything about Merlin makes me so happy right now. :D
