Perhaps the writers didn't think to show how Merlin was feeling bad for Artur in that much detail becuz they assumed the viewers would fill that in themselves since they all know Merlin as being a very sensitive and caring character. I agree that they should have let it show more here rather than focusing on Merlin making random comments about Arthur wanting to watch him pee and getting piggy back rides. Those I would have been happy to see gone in exchange fr more important things.
