Arthur: Shirtless with sleepingtrousers
Merlin: Shirt, trousers and woolly socks (his feet are always cold)
Elyan: Just in his smalls
Percival: Sleepingshirt and smalls
Lancelot: Shirtless and smalls
Mordred: Sleepingtrousers and socks
Gwaine: Naked
Leon: Wearing full armour, sword in hand
Tag yourself, I'm Leon
Lancelot: What the hell is wrong with you?
Gwaine: I have this weird self-esteem issue where I hate myself but still think I’m better than everyone else. You?
Lancelot: …
Lancelot: The opposite, actually. I don’t hate myself but I constantly feel inadequate that I can’t live up to an unsustainable standard I set for myself.
Gwaine: Did Merlin find and fix you?
Lancelot: Yes. I woke up in his bed, healed from an injury I sustained while helping him out of a dangerous situation. Then we committed crimes together before I was banished from Camelot.
Gwaine: Me too!
Lancelot: Did he later find you while on a quest with Arthur while you were still banished?
Gwaine: Yeah, we went to the perilous lands. What was your quest?
Lancelot: We escaped slavers.
Gwaine: Cool. Then you came when he asked for help?
Lancelot: I’ll always be there whenever Merlin needs me.
Gwaine: Lancelot, I think we’re going to get along great.
Someone's gotta write them going on shenanigans together and no one understanding their friendship.
They are literally nothing alike. Gwaine's a born noble who rejected the title and Lancelot a commoner who was refused the title. (Them swapping royal seals in Uther's court would have been so fitting, lmao).
But outside of that, Lancelot, the stoic, seemingly perfectly behaved knight who actually creates Chaos whereever he steps vs Gwaine, who tries to create chaos but accidentally ends up being the perfect knight anyways.
Love them.
*Everyone giving advice to Arthur*
Gwen: It's okay to ask for help.
Lancelot: You're not a burden.
Merlin: Murder is okay.
Leon: Your feelings matter.
The funny thing is - to me- that Merlin would say that to himself, but not actually to Arthur. Because Merlin believes in Arthur's good heart and keeps telling him to not kill people because "what would that achieve" with his hands bloody and a knife already in the back of Arthur's enemies.
What's even funnier - is I believe out of all the characters you named, the one I'd apply with 'murder is okay' is, ironically, Gwen. Because she herself wouldn't do it but she'd understand that Arthur has to do it for the Kingdom.
That said, ignore me, OP is fucking funny.
Arthur: I heard 1 out of 4 people is gay
Merlin: ...
Merlin: and?
Arthur: well, I mean, I hang out with a couple knights, you, Gwen and Morgana. Which makes me wonder where the 60 straight people are.
Merlin:
Lancelot: *whispering* Merlin, I buried that assassin who tried to kill Arthur, as you told me, where should i put the shovel?
Merlin: not now, Lance, Arthur is having a moment.
Gaius: this potion is to identify anyone who has been dead and returned. They will glow a little. If you put it in everyone's drinks at the feast, you will find the undead knight
Arthur: perfect. Wait. I've been to the brink of death before. Will it affect me?
Gaius: no, no. You would have to have actually died.
Later, at the feast
Arthur speaks his toast and watches everyone drink their laced wine.
Random noble: *glows faintly* huh?
Arthur: ha, found you, I- *interrupts himself
Sir Lancelot: *glows* what the ...
Merlin: *glows brighter* holy shit!
Sir Leon:
Arthur:
