"I don't think that's wrong, but..." Rutger began when Vincent stated his hypothesis. "Unless the entire guild was conveniently out on a job or something, it seems to me like they would have won any fight short of fighting someone very, very powerful. And if that were the case, I would think the building would barely be standing." he finished. After all, here at the guild hall there would have been multiple members of Phoenix Wing going back and forth. Surely they would have had numbers on their side if someone or something had attacked them? 

"Do you see any footprints or trails outside that look like they were made recently?" he asked Vincent as he continued to inspect the furniture. "If they fled or were chased by something, surely there'd be some sign of it..."

Another thought occurred, but this time Rutger kept it to himself. He was here looking for work. Vincent had also identified himself as a freelancer...but hadn't said why he was here. If he was a mage himself, and wasn't affiliated with the guild, then surely he wasn't a client, was he? Then...why was he here? Suspicions began to breed in the young man's mind, but he kept his face as unreadable as he could, and made sure to be facing away from Vincent as he continued searching through the guild's common hall.
