With Merlin and Nimue being effectively immortal and that over enough time almost anything can happen...I was imagining stuff like this.....
Merlin or Nimue are still on Safehold and the Church has not yet been overcome, say within next century
Now, because they guard powerful people who thus meet a LOT of folk
And since they often undertake missions in disguise
They may have some rather droll encounters
A man introduces himself to Cayleb or someone around the PICAs
"My name is Bond, James Bond!"
If Merlin is drinking beer at the time, a beer mini-tsunami ensues from his nose

Just imagine all the possibilities of famous names or silly puns etc cropping up purely by chance, lol
Yes, I'm a horrible, low brow person!
I consider a certain scene where Nimue bitchslaps a ratbag and Merlin is eating potato chips while drinking beer and asks Cayleb if he wants to re-watch it in slow motion, as a PINNACLE of the novels :p
Seriously laughed my ass off the chair at that bit, hehe
