Talon was prepared to speak to Artemis, but did nothing as he saw Jax speaking to him. He knew that Artemis came to the guild hall just for missions now, but the master wanted for him to stick around for a bit longer, even if it was just for today. Instead of speaking to the S-class mage, he looked over at the paper that was placed next to the sleeping wind mage. He assumed that Artemis brought that in for her to hang on the board, and wordlessly walked back into his office just as as Darren and Sasha made their way into the guild hall, currently dismissing Artemis and Jax for the time being.

Darren was one of two that escaped the S-class mission, but soon after he had taken his cut of the Jewels once the guild was destroyed, he was attacked by remaining dark mages that wanted to go after him and Artemis for bringing down their guild. The blind boy was split up from his partner during the surprise attack, and it was by sheer luck that Sasha had found him two weeks later struggling to stay alive. His magical reserves were almost completely depleted, and he barely had enough strength to stand. It was because of his partner that he had made it back to the guild, and he always gave her the larger cut of the missions that they went on as a way to repay her for saving him. It was usually 60/40, but sometimes would be 70/30 when he felt that he didn't do enough during the mission.

The sword duo sat at a table and spoke quietly to each other. They were some of the few who still came to the guild and stayed there for most of the day unless taking a mission, and Kori and Talon didn't count to the numbers were even smaller.
