[color=FireBrick]"I'm no idiot, Master Jamie. I'm worried about Mithera as well, and I made a personal promise to Melina to keep her safe, giving me far more stake in this than you. Besides that, how will it look for our guild if we turn down help FREELY offered? You may say it has nothing to do with the Rider's Blade's past, but it does. The past is the past and we can't let it rule our actions for the future. Let them help and it would make us look better than solving this alone ever will. Not to mention it will help their reputation, something they need if they're going to remain on the right side of the law to get their jobs."[/color] [center][h2]Jack Goran|Dragon Fang Seating[/h2][/center] [center][@Oblivion666][@Joshua Tamashii][/center] Jack nodded to Jackie as she left. [color=Turquoise]"Do me a favor and ask that Phoenix Wing fellow why he was confronting the Iron Enigma guild master if you will on your way out. It can't hurt to know."[/color] He waited for Jackie to be gone, though he did not miss the switch of self reference to I from We, and then several minutes afterwords to look at Zephyr and scrutinize him a little, no doubt making the boy squirm in his seat. [color=Turquoise]"Are you aware of the horrible things that girl's father did to her to make her what she is now, Zephyr? The twisted and demented sense of duty she had because one man told her that's all there was to life? He beat her, tortured her and even raped her to condition her to be immune to questioning and good at interrogating. If she failed, she got beat and told to do it again. Do you want that?"[/color]
