Maybe they would have, had Merlin been part of Aithusa's life. Once Aithusa hatched, his/her next contact with Merlin was in Ismere, well over three years later, after Aithusa spent two of those years tortured.

Can he/she really be blamed for siding with Morgana, who endured two years of imprisonment rather than using magic to escape and risking harm to Aithusa and who eventually escaped with her and sought a safe refuge for them, over Merlin, who never even knew that he/she was in trouble?
