You've gotten better,"he said pushing off the tree"Thanks for not bashing my wards to hell, by the way,"he walked over to her, eyes turning towards the camp. In the last few days the rest of the group, while still weary of Briarwood, were starting to get comfortable. Merlin was not. He noticed the closer they got, the more magic buzzed in the air, and with Briarwood becoming more at ease, it set Merlin on edge. "I came to ask if you got anything on Lord Snobby? I mean, you take extra shifts and all. Maybe you figured something out,"it was obvious the mage was worried. And he only grew more so the closer they got to the city.
