"Say, want to help me?" Merlin stared at Arad, staring at him.
"Put a request at the guild if you want me to help you with anything," He replied.
"You're an adventurer, after all," Merlin smiled. Thud! Aella caught her by the head, "What are you talking about?"
Merlin stared at her with a smile, "I want to hire him as my assistant,"
"I don't trust your experiments," Aella growled at her.
"Hehe," Merlin laughed, "I can offer spells as payment. I will even go as much to enchant your weapons." She ignored Aella and looked at Arad.
"Not interested," Arad replied immediately. It wasn't like he didn't care. He was just scared she might discover his identity. Her saying they met before terrified him to the bones.
{She's dangerous,}
^I know, in our last fight. Merlin was trying to catch me alive. Otherwise, I would have died.^
{Then, can you stop staring at her chest?}
^I can't help it. It's bigger than Aella,^
