Alban had been back a week since his last request, he tended to wait a little while after S-class quests before taking another job. Sure he was a bit lazy but being one of the few to take the most difficult type of requests did take a toll on him sometimes. Regardless though he thought about taking another to alleviate some boredom, but the higher ranking requests seemed immensely time consuming. While he did need the cash he didn't wanna go alone. That fact in itself was the biggest flaw, but its the price he payed for being a bit over the top. The guild however was still just as lively, maybe something would happen that would spark an interest to take a lower paying job or to help out with one at least. 

As luck would have it Raymond had come in letting a smile form seeing the dragons slayer come in, next to catch his eye had been Nash. Alban had found him curious but wasn't the type to pry into other peoples affairs. Lastly had been the new beauty Calliope, admitting to himself he did have a crush on the young woman but had pursued it. Actually finding himself rather bashful around her. Since everything was lighting up he come time from the top rafter where a few other of the S-class mages had settled in. It was time to socialize with his comrades after all.

As he set foot on the bottom level Alban held his drink up towards Nash, knowing full well what had happened but it was just a little fun as held up his alcohol infused drink though it wouldn't affect him as it would most of the guild cause it diluted too fast in his system. Alban had gotten used to calling the man by his last name, it was no offense just easier for him to say."Nash one should be coming back in an hour roughly." 

Taking the last drink from his mug as he approached the bar to the left of Ray and his exceed Roger, "A refill if you don't mind Klondike." Looking over to the duo as they ate. "I'll take you on an S-class quest sometime if... you can convince Max and Pearl to let you come with me." A feat he knew that could prove to be difficult. "Good job though on your recent job. Keep it up and I'm sure you'll get in for S-class exams." Patting Ray on the back as he continued onward, taking a lax sip from his mug.

Crouching down near Barnaby. "Leave the new girl alone Barnaby or maybe we'll have to play catch again sometime." Alban's smile was almost devilish since this game of so called 'catch' didn't sit well with the acid mage as he left promptly. Standing back up looking down at Calliope and to the request board. Again... Well it couldn't hurt to help with an offer right? "If you need help choosing or help with a job I'd be more than happy to help you Calliope." Eyeing a request that seemed to scream for her particular set of skills but didn't point it out, not yet at least. "Or you can go with me on one, I'll split the reward even with you." She probably heard his 'flaw' around women but it didn't hurt to try and help the newcomer out.
