Countdown

Zayn was glad to have survived his encounter with the Master Weaponsmith. He was pretty sure that their personalities didn't match up well, but Zayn would have never expected Merlin to be serious when he said that he was lucky to have survived.

It caused shudders to run down his spine, and it took him a few seconds to get back to his senses.

"So what is our plan now?" Zayn asked, hoping that the next few steps of their plan could distract him a bit.

"Our next step is to buy a bunch of things. You're rich, after all!" Merlin said, trying to ease Zayn's tension a little.

"More?" Zayn enquired which Merlin affirmed with a short nod.

It was only obvious that they had to buy a few necessities to train but the expression on Merlin's face was pretty much self-explanatory. It meant that they had lots of things to buy. And by lots, Merlin actually meant a lot. That was what Zayn guessed with a dry smile on his face.
