[color=yellow]"That won't do..."[/color] Criston murmured as he listened to the group forming behind him. He closed his eyes for a moment and rubbed the bridge of his nose. They sure didn't make this very easy, did they? Too much bickering going on, far too much. Had it always been this way? He turned to see the room filled mostly with the new-comers and a crease formed between his brows. Where were the others? He let out a soft sigh and looked at to Carmen. 

[color=yellow]"I don't remember there being this much tension, do you?"[/color] He asked her with a small smirk. Then, he turned to face the crowd behind him.

[color=yellow]"Welcome, everyone. I'm not sure that everyone is here yet so the meeting won't start for another few moments. Ahh... Try not to blow up or otherwise freeze the inn if you don't mind."[/color] He explained, chuckling awkwardly. Jesus, he was shit at this. 

[color=yellow]"Oh, and I'm Criston Cross, I'll be in charge of the meeting tonight. We'll be heading to a larger room in the inn once everyone is here. Maria, my mother, is currently working on something but she will be back in a few days. If you have questions or just want to chat, I'll be here."[/color] He greeted them, waving awkwardly. Yep, this was shit. 

He let out another long sigh as he turned back around to his drink. [color=yellow]"Tell me that wasn't as shit as I thought it was, Carmen."[/color] He breathed, fighting the urge to slam his face against the counter.
