Yeah no. The point of just him and Freya is to show his faithfulness. Merlin is the culmination of all that is good, as shown by his faithfulness and, as shown later, loyal love of Freya despite her actions in beast form and despite the distance that her death has put between them. Arthur and Freya are in the same lake, so when Arthur rises, Freya should too. The fisher king lived for thousands of years on weaker magic than Merlin's, so he will probably be alive for far more than that. Also, with his proximity to the lake, he can probably speak to both Freya and Arthur often. Arthur may not soon physically rise again, but as long as Merlin keeps a supply of lake water nearby, both he and Freya can live through Merlin.
