"I don't want anything to do with you." Arad sighed, looking at Merlin's face with a smile.
"You say it with a smile," She hugged him tighter, "Nina, tell the guild master to sign it, or no more scrolls for the guild."
Nina smiled, "Understood, I will make sure he signs it." She nodded and then stared at Merlin, "But I will take it that Arad won't be hurt, right?"
"Don't worry. I'm not going to do any weird experiments. I will do basic observing." Merlin smiled.
"Let me go!" Arad growled, trying to struggle out of her grasp.
"If you want to escape, you need to move forward. Not backward into my chest." Merlin smiled.
"I'm trying to knock you over," Arad growled, taking a deep breath and stepping forward. He then bent his body and lifted Merlin on his back.
"Hold up! I can see it...no. I can't!" One adventurer rushed to sneak a peek underneath Merlin's robe. But found an empty black void.
