[She claps a hand over her mouth in surprise. Whoops! Maybe she shouldn't have spoiled anything. He doesn't look like the Merlin she'd expected, anyway. No beard, no staff. He just looked like...well...a young man. Taking a step clear, Ema has to stop and think. How much was okay to say?

Surely that much.]

No. That's a lie. That's just CERES trying to scare us. There aren't any aliens. Nobody destroyed your home. [Well, okay. She knows Mordred and Morgana did something, but that's serious spoilers so she's not going to touch on that at all.]

Those...Flamines things? There's no proof that they exist. And every time we ask them, they just dodge around it. It's propaganda, nothing real. So...um...don't...give up hope, okay?

[She's not sure she could handle Merlin breaking down on her.]
