Don't execute the messenger

Everyone is in text contact - which should probably make it easier for Merlin to cover up all of the super secret magic things he is doing (not to mention the extremely dangerous ones), and for Arthur and Gaius to find Merlin when he is definitely-not-in-the-tavern doing said super secret dangerous things. But there are different sorts of treachery involved in group chats, and a certain dragon isn't any less cryptic (yet somehow much more irritating) via messenger. Cue chaos, confusion, Freudian slips (not that Freud exists yet, obviously), insults, and iffy grammar. Not that texting can really be blamed for any of that - after all, if not prats they are idiots, and, as the old saying goes, one shouldn't shoot the messenger...
