[Damian]

Directing James over to Jarvis to get his stamp, Damian then headed to stand by Master Jamie on the floor in front of the bar, looking over the people as they came in. He knew most of them from the months he'd been with the the guild, nodding and smiling at them as they took their usual spots, whether it be sitting or standing or kneeling somewhere in the hall. He took mental note of those he didn't know as they came in from outside and waved at Mayt and Angelo when they came in. That meant Sasha was back and also that Penny would beeline to her after the master's announcement. [i]Ah well, we can talk about the woman later. I really could use a rest.[/i]

Returning the majority of his attention to the crowd, Damian noticed that Lazarus was back and frowned. Where had he been over the months? Deciding it wasn't important for the time being, he noted the girl walk in with the twin sabers on her waist and frowned when he noticed the way she carried herself. [i]Noble? Here? This is going to be grand...[/i] In the time since Damian had discovered his magic, he'd worked for six nobles and none of them had been worth the air they were breathing. Didn't mean that all nobles were that way, but the greater majority had about the same disposition from what he'd heard from other wizards. Then in came the guy who'd been demanding a fight upon arrival a few months ago. He'd vanished too, but the Master had had regular contact with him. Noting the others, he decided to hold a meet and greet when the master was finished.

[James]

James thanked Damian and then approached the bar, saying hello to Jarvis and taking the Phoenix Wing tattoo in golden yellow on his left cheek and then took a seat at a table nearby, with no one else sitting at it. It wasn't that he was shy, he just simply wanted to catch the Guild Master when she was done with her announcement to get a better understanding of how a guild was run and what they did besides odd jobs for people who asked for the help.

Looking around, he noticed lots of people were taking seats and that a small group were coming in from outside. Damian waved at two of them and James realized that he must know them at least semi-well. [i]Any friend of his, I suppose.[/i] Getting comfortable, he waited for the guild master to speak.
