Arthur had a list of what he was looking for in a partner:
Intelligence
Stability
Good looks
Sense of humor
He has accused Merlin of brainlessness and insanity but Merlin is all kinds of hot and wonderfully hilarious, so two out of four isn’t bad.
Merlin thinks if he’d had a list it would have included astronaut. “You have to be smart and stable to be an astronaut so that shortens my list. It’s efficient.”
He laments Arthur’s lack of astronaut-iness and Arthur’s delighted by him. They’re obviously both brain damaged and perfectly compatible, love trumping each and every list.
