"For whatever reason, it seems like Merlin has decided to block our efforts to scry on that group, and... I'm willing to bet that it's an enchantment he's applied to the entire forest too." Morgan sounds very annoyed by the very existence of Merlin as she looks at the map's representation of the forest. "I can only imagine that he didn't want us being able to go into things with all the information at our disposal, why he's doing so, I cannot say." She's gritting her teeth, clearly annoyed with Merlin's seemingly callous act. Why isn't he helping? Doesn't he want to save the world? What the hell is his play here?! He's not just not helping, he's actively being a hindrance!

"It's... the same story for the entire forest! It's appearing as nothing but a field of flowers from any attempt to visually scry upon it!" Medea keeps focusing on the orb, hands trembling in a small amount of rage at the fact that an enemy magus has managed to completely overwhelm her abilities as a Caster by blocking an entire forest from her field of vision.
