[h3][color=black][b]Earthland - Phoenix Wing Guild Hall[/b]
Rutger Artz[/color][/h3]

Neither the Master nor Damien seemed worried about their compatriots, and Rutger had heard that Phoenix Wing was strong...was this just another adventure to them? He was beginning to wonder if he shouldn't have tried for a more low-key guild...but then, Vincent approached him. He looked sternly at the assassin until the man spoke of starting over. Rutger's expression changed to one of uncertainty for a few moments. 

This man had murdered for coin. He had come here to find the weaknesses of the guild, and no doubt would have tried to kill them without a second thought if he ever encountered them in a mission with the information he needed. Obviously the members of the Guild would not have been an easy mark, but it was the thought behind the thing.

But, Jamie's words had seemed to take a great effect on Vincent. The man seemed sincere about wanting to start over. Rutger had told him to meet every person in Fiore before he declared them "rotten." Just meeting Master Jamie alone had struck some sort of chord. 

This guild, and the people in it...meeting them, forming new bonds, having new experiences, pushing the horizons...Yes. Rutger wanted to be here.

"Sure." Rutger smiled and extended a hand, gripping Vincent's in a firm but friendly grip. "We're both newbies, let's try and support each other." After the shake, Master Jamie called for them to receive their guild marks. Again Rutger raised his sleeve to reveal his right forearm, and held it out for the stamp.

"Um, I guess...the same color of red as my scarf." he said, somewhat sheepishly. When he had received the stamp, and the guild's symbol glowed softly on his arm before fading into the colored tattoo, he stepped back and looked at it in awe for a moment, before returning his gaze to the master.

"Well, Master, now that we're officially guild members, should we do something to help with this Edolas situation? Or do you want us to start working on something else? I mean, the cleaning is fairly done, except for all the broken stuff...I could burn it, I guess, but I'm still not confident in my magic..."
