[b]master Jamie[/b] Jamie narrowed her eyes, clearly not in a good mood. He took a deep breath before saying [color=f26522]"I put you in charge of finding Trintiy. I was hoping that Mithera was hidden somewhere, but that Hope is gone. I'm searching for her, Damian, and I know what I am doing. It's my fault they got her, and forgive me for not wanting to have another guild involved in this. This has nothing to do with their history, I'd say the same about any other guild. Apart from anything else, we have an image to uphold and what do you think people would think of word got out that we can't even protect our own members?"[/color] Jamie said softly to Damian, ignoring Fraquar. Gritting her teeth at Fraquarsmcomment though, it took a lot of effort to not hit the other guild master. [color=f26522]"this isn't about pride, Fraquar! If I let word get out that I can't stop bad things happening to my members, then they'll be in danger! And I've put them in enough danger. Beyond that, I don't want anyone else in this because this is my fault, and I will fix it."[/color] Jamie walked away, her stride fast and annoyed. Beyond anything else, Jamie was sure that this would turn into a mess and she didn't want any other guilds in trouble. Besides, Jamie worked better alone. Or with Jarvis. Which wasn't an option right now. And that was the problem, wasn't it? [b]tidius[/b] Tidius gave a laugh, approaching closer to Ariel and this woman, Cassandra. Curious, Tidius carefully manuevered between the two females, not wishing any harm to come to Ariel. [color=f26522]"just who are you, Cassandra? You seem quite...unstable"[/color] he said carefully, aware that the small amount of magical ability he had wouldn't be enough to keep this spirit in line. [b]jarvis[/b] Jarvis nodded, although he wished that wasn't true. A child shouldn't have to deal with pain, but he didn't say that. [color=aba000]"Well, is he one of the spirits in that book you have been trying to read?"[/color] he asked, wondering how, apart from the spirit itself, she knew this.
