"See,"Merlin said, motioning to Ragnar"Even he agrees! Frogs are the obvious solution," He nodded his head as if he just spoke words of divine wisdom. He turned his blue eyes to look Ragnar up and down." You know, keep agreeing with me, and I might actually like you more,"he said, chuckling a bit. Vesper shook her head.<br/><br/>"The spell,Merlin,"the woman gestured for him to move. They needed to get this done with. Merlin complied, leading the two of them closer to the Lords tent. He plopped himself on the ground,crossing his legs, and went to work. He mumbled the spell to himself, focusing on Briarwoods face in his mind. Vesper watched the jolt of magic sparkle and glow to life in his eyes. The blue turned a bright glittering gold, fading once the spell was cast.<br/><br/>"That's it? Did it work,"she asked, helping him up."Vesper, has any of my spells ever not worked,"he gave her a good natured shoulder bump, and dusted himself off. She knew he was right. Merlin was the company's best mage, and had skills that she had never seen, but still, her mind could not settle. She had to see for herself that he was asleep.<br/><br/>Turning on her feet, she headed to the tent, pausing at the flap to announce herself." Lord Briarwood? I wanted to come by and check in,"she said, pushing the flap back, and finding the noble on the cot, fast asleep. A breath of air left her lungs, as she unwound herself. Good, the spell did work.
