Merlin gave him a side eye,but seemed to be stated for now. Vesper huffed a chuckle, and looked back to Ragnar. The mood dropping slightly as they were brought back to the problem at hand. Shaking her headd,Vesper bit her lip, trying to think of something. Besides her, Merlin looked between the two of them, slowly growing bored. He turned to leave, Vespers eyes on him when inspiration hit. She perked up, and yanked the mage back towards her. Merlin flailed a bit, the pull on his arm unexpected. "Ah!What the hell, Ves,"he asked, swatting her hands off him.<br/><br/>Vesper patted his shoulder in apology, and pulled at his spell book. "Merlin, do you have anything that will make Briarwood sleep, and stay asleep? Like a spell,"she asked hopeful. Merlin blinked a few times, processing what she was saying, before a smirk crossed his lips. A dark chuckle left him as he opened his book. "When you say 'keep him asleep', what exactly do you mean? Because I have a few spells in here,"he  waved the book around, before opening it to a page closer to the back."Just sleep? Because I can still turn him into a frog, and that should keep him out of trouble,"he sounded hopeful. Vesper shook her head, dashing his hope.<br/><br/>"Just sleeping,Merlin. No hexes, minor curses, or pranks,"she wagged a finger at him, much the mother hen."I mean it,"<br/><br/>Merlin groaned. No one ever lets him turn snobby clients into frogs, and that was such a shame."Fine,"he pouted, flipping to another page, all the while muttering under his breath." A frog would have been fun, but no one ever lets me use it....Fun-suckers,"he stopped at the spell, and read it over before looking at them. "I have one that'll keep him out most of the night, will that be good,<span style="font-style: italic">mother</span>?"<br/><br/>Vesper nodded, and looked to Ragnar."If he's out, he can't make trouble,"
