"Your magic is different from anything I've even heard of," Merlin agreed. "Actually, I don't think that magic is always the same in different worlds." He didn't know much about this world's magic yet, but from what he'd read while secretly trying to read up on it in the library, it wasn't the same as his magic. And if Rapunzel's was different yet again...well, who could say that any worlds' magics would be alike?

"Maybe...maybe if he does come around you could, but until then..." But maybe Rapunzel could show Arthur that magic could be used for good, a traitorous part of him said. But he couldn't ask that of her. He couldn't ask Rapunzel to risk herself just to prove something to Arthur, especially not when she'd been through so much.
