Merrick smirked at Blaze's remark, "...I thank you for the compliment.." Merrick muttered, while slicing several Vergals.
"Yeah! I hardly ever get compliments like that." Serenity pointed out.
"..And why do you think that is?" Merrick asked slyly,
"Hey!...I may not get you sometimes, but I know what that means!" She argued back,
"..So?....what did I mean?" he asked,
"uh...w-w-w-well y-you see...its um....." Serenity trailed off, she turned around and saw a Vergal facing her, it's arm raised as if it was going to strike. She then watched as it fell to the floor, and as it fell Merrick was revealed, his sword pointing outwards, blood dripping from it.
"..T-Th-Thanks, and that was p-p-pretty good. I-I didn't even s-see you m-move" Serenity stuttered, astonished that her life could've been taken away if it wasn't for Merrick.
"..Hey, what are Bodyguards for?" Merrick answered,
Serenity giggled and then ran to tackle some more Vergals, Merrick spun on his heels and ran towards a crowd of Vergals.
