 Merlin: How is he?

Gaius: It's most odd. Look at this. See these two small wounds? Looks like a snake bite.

Merlin: How could he be bitten by a snake? He was injured in a sword-fight.

Merlin: Can you heal him?

Gaius: If it's a snake bite, I'll need to extract venom² from the snake that bit him to make an antidote³.
