A fewindividuals, all dressed up in rather gaudy clothing that was only ever worn to showcase one's wealth

Four young nobleinsults at any of the residents they ca violence if their victih to be considered not evil, as they hadn't actually done anything yet, so Merlin couldn't attack the penalties

Merlin pulled his cloak's hood over his head as he continued on his way towards the thieves guild He alking behind the nobles, but didn't get too close as he didn't want the him

"There's another brat over there" One of the nobles reroup of nobles approached another individual, although Merlin couldn't see the victi as the word brat was used

"Hey pipsqueak, what are you doing out here without your parents?" Another noble roup all began laughing at the one guy's insults, but they stopped laughing rather quickly

Bell gave Merlin a suild Merlin followed behind hi back at the nobles that the kid had just ruined for a ain

The two entered the run down tavern just as it started to rain pretty heavily outside

'That was a close one' Merlin thought as he closed the door behind him

"Bell, you're back!" Fae spoke up with a happy tone, "You finished your task already? Good job!"

Bell nodded after she spoke He gave her a high five before disappearing down the cellar

"You're back too I see" Fae said as she turned to Merlin, her voice was a lot less energetic than when she was interacting with Bell, but it was still friendly and upbeat "I assume you've also had a successful mission"

Merlin nodded in response, to which he was given praise by her as well

"Good job!" She said before she made her way back to her spot behind the counter

Merlin stuck around, because he thought she was going to make her way down into the cellar like nor this tih five too?" Fae asked

"No But, is that an option?" Merlin asked in a tone that was intended to obviously portray that he was joking

"Are you a child?" Fae asked in a lighthearted tone
