Summary: He needs to think of something else, something else, come on, Merlin, this isn’t working. He hones in on a man further up ahead leaning against the wall of a bank, staring at his mobile. He’s blonde and his coat looks expensive and that’s apparently enough for Merlin, who beelines for him.
The blonde looks up, startled, as Merlin grabs his arm.
“Pretend I know you,” he says in a rush, knowing he must seem deranged, “this guy is following me.”
