Merik walked casually down the road or as casual as one can with his stature. The prince looked successful in his endeavor to knock out some goblin scouts and it would seem another young member of the group had a new friend. 

[@Arthanus][color=fff200]"[b]Merik what happened to your horse this time?[/b]"[/color] the prince asked.

Merik could only shrug at the man, “[color=39b54a]Horse not used to thunder tube.[/color]” It really was the only thing he could think of for a reason. The horse was a bit more used to him being around but was still on edge whenever they were alone. Merik just assumed it was because of him still being a predator.

The rest of the walk back was still uneventful, the thunder continued to echo from the other side of the city. As they drew closer more and more peasants began showing up heading for the town. It was a common practice, bring in those that can’t protect themselves and bolster the number of militia at the same time. The giant lizard put away his sword and followed behind the prince into the city. More people where starring at them now but he didn’t care. 

Some of the others seemed to be doing something but they were all ordered to rest, Merik did not know why humans tire easily. Looking around for a moment the large reptile spotted the elder magic man he has seen time and time again by the prince’s side. Quiet when he needed to be but a good teacher, he has taught Merik many things from behavior to the world around them.

[@Hawthorne]Approaching the old man Merik paused before him and reached for something under his armor. [color=39b54a]“Elder, Merik find strange plant for you.” [/color]Something Merik did like doing was to find some things while he was adventuring in the forest. Anything that was unusual or rare to him he would bring to the man. Merik doesn’t have a grand understanding of magic and to him it’s a way to help. 

He pulled a piece of cloth out and unfolded it to show a pale blue mushroom that seemed to be emitting a weak blue light even in the daylight. [color=39b54a]“Did Merik do good?”[/color] he asked while holding it out to him.

If Balthazar did or did not take the mushroom Merik would still continue to speak loud enough for the prince to hear. [color=39b54a]“Merik will go to west gate, help defenses. Come get Merik if need him.”[/color] A small smile then looking down to the wizard once more. [color=39b54a]“Be safe Elder, Merik like stories. Want to hear more.”[/color] With a nod the large lizard began making his way towards the west gate through the crowded streets.
