ā a⦠ pendant?? ā
he looks at it skeptically. Ā despite the reigning logic that Merric would not and would actually avoid hurting Elrean, experience has taught him to hesitate. Ā he could count with only his hands the number of gifts heās received in his entire life that werenāt just petty pranks or tricks, and all of them had been from Wendell. Ā he⦠ trusts Merric, doesnāt he?? Ā heās still not so sure.
ā as a favor. Ā youāre talking about⦠ā Ā for luck, in battle⦠ but to give Elrean one, it must mean that heās dear to Merric, which doesnāt make much sense at all. Ā again, the wind mage befuddles him so completely with a single movement.
ā ā¦youāre sure you want to give this to me?? ā
"Of course I want to. Did I say something wrong?ā Merric looked confused; heād thought his intentions were fairly clear. But then, knowing Elrean... he likely expected some kind of sabotage.
āItās not charmed or anything. You can check it if youād like.ā He still held the necklace out to Elrean.Ā āOr... if you werenāt interested, I understand. I didnāt consider whether it would be your style.ā
Merric looked contemplatively at the pendant for a moment, then back to Elrean.Ā āBut.. Iād like you to have it. If it might keep you a little safer, then it's doing its job.ā
