Calliope had yet to try her astral magic on him of course he'd be inclined to say yes but it would be welcomed to help her get a hold of her skills and a lady's touch wouldn't hurt. Returning the smile the young woman had given him in return, friendly and cordial but refrained from pushing any other limits. Especially around a newbie at that. Alban had to let out a small chuckle as Calliope had punched his bicep. He forgot how tall he was sometimes and what the young mage had done had reminded him of that and how small she was compared to him. "I hadn't seen your caster magic yet so I have to admit it would be interesting to see. I can't say I have a sword but I could create something fashionable for us to spar with sometime if you'd like me to oblige." Alban was no great swordsman but he could create something like a bladed weapon with his magic if the occasion called for it, it would be practice that he could teach her in more confined spaces but that was for another time as Nash had made his way over.

Barnaby's exspression had been price, Alban had to admit that fact. Seeing the acid mage turn fifty shades of red, having to laugh at Barnaby in that moment. It's what made the guild function so well, being able to laugh at the smaller things. His laugh turned to a smile as her surveyed the request board. Something that would a little easier but if Nash did decide to come maybe something a bit tougher? 

Nathan was well being Nathan, but it was obvious when he came into the guild hall. All of the girls started giggling as soon as he came in. That was the difference between them though, he tended to be more subtle in his affections or at least tried to. Well and the fact they used Alban for two bit things some times. Which Pearl had to sometimes play the motherly role and ridicule the said females. But pretty much before he could say 'hello' Nathan was already gone and out the door. Alban shrugging his shoulders as he peered back at the request bored.

"Well I don't know what kind of job to look for but perhaps..." Picking two flyers from the bored, handing them both to Calliope letting her decide which. "One is to stop the thieves in the next town over, something easy but could provide you a chance to show your swordsmanship. Or find and eliminate whats taking the fishermen's catch down at Serpents Cove." Not the best choices but something a little easier for the new mage to try her hand at. Off course Alban and if Nash decided to go they'd provide most of the heavy lifting so to speak. Peering back at the request board to see if there were any others that might suit the need.
