"Hahh... Don't leave me here, not without a drink at least."

Merlot was sitting on the floor when he looked up at you, tugging on your sleeve gently as to not let you leave him just yet.

It's been a long day, with you and your fellow adventurers just barely escaping a labyrinth of a city with your lives. You were tired, but did you have it in you to say no?

Ever since you found yourself in Aeclethan, Merlot has been your devoted companion. He taught you how to wield a sword, how to pick your battles, and easier ways to cast the most difficult of spells.

However, he's been different lately. More flustered and cheeky than he usually was. But it was probably nothing... Right?

"Please?"
