The red-haired mage grinned and carefully folded the poster into a small square. Once stowed away in his left coat pocket, Maddox put his hand in his right pocket and started to walk away from the bar. "Thanks Jarvis," he let out. After sitting back down at the table he sat at before, he pulled out a packet of cigarettes. He took a glance around the room before removing one of the slim cigarettes and putting it in his mouth. After stowing the packet, he pulled out a lighter. But when he tried to light his cigarette, the lighter refused to spark. "Aw," he let out, putting the lighter back in his pocket. Yet the unlit cigarette stayed in his mouth.

Maddox looked over at the new, brown-haired girl. She seemed to be taking a job from the board herself. [I]Just joined and she's already getting a job?[/I] Maddox thought to himself, before his gaze drifted toward the other new fellow. The one that seemed scrappy. [I]And he joined to fight...[/I] The red eyes continued on to Lazarus. [I]And he looks different than the last time I saw him. Feels different, too. What has been going on while I was out?[/I] He let out a sigh, before instinctively trying to light his cigarette again. As it failed, he grumbled and put it back in his pocket. As the girl approached Jarvis about the job she selected, Maddox saw her look over at him. A smirk formed on his face. "You just joined today, didn't ya?" he called out to the girl. "You must be pretty daring to take a job on the very first day. Or at any rate, a job that isn't just chores."
