The way ahead was through more trees and Eoric now led the way with Merlin following along, his amazement at what had just happened still clearly writ...ten on his face. Their flight had left them without a horse and with no clear idea of exactly where they were. Once they were well out of sight of the Saxons, Eoric called a halt so they could take stock and decide how to proceed.Merlin was able to describe his route south and Eoric used his connection to the earth to extend his awareness outwards. He was the one who had a crush on me earlier. But he was dating Sharada now after I did not pay much heed to him.Rahul slyly said to me, “Dekh, Pranali agar tujhe tere kapde chahiye toh tujhe bhi humare liye kuch karna padega.” (You’ll have to do something for us if you want your clothes back).I had just literally put my body on display to get a few answers. Now I was being asked to do something just to get my own clothes back. “All men really are dogs,” I thought.Kinda scary, especially since. I stood in the bathroom and pulled my button shirt off and looked at myself in the mirror and put the other shirt on and gave myself one more look. I must say the red shirt really looked good on me. I returned to the shop and Andrei nodded and everyone gathered around one of the tables in a circle. “Over here is Alex he is our new trainee and he will be shadowing one of you until he gets the hang of things around here” Andrei said and everyone looked at me. I was on the spotlight at that. He nods in agreement. "That makes sense, do I get to pick my name?"leaning forward excitedly.She laughs. "I was just going to call you Jackie, but if you wantsomething different, go ahead."He claps his hands together a few times. "Yay!!! I'll do some thinkingtoday."Darcy smiles while grabbing a purse and checking inside. "After that, Iknow a couple places to hit up so we can get everything done. I've gota lot of things planned so let's get going!"Several hours later:Jack and Darcy enter through.
