The sounds of hooves moving swiftly across the ground, the white steed carrying its rider swiftly across the road. Heh, she hadn't actually ridden a horse in so long - not since she left her old life behind her. Was a nice break from walking everywhere, and let her make some excellent time returning to the guild. It'd have put her in a good mood, feeling the wind rushing through her hair again, if it wasn't for the reason she had to take a leave from the guild to start with. Now? She just felt...nothing? Rather empty, really. A little frustrated.

But well, she should have expected her past to catch up with her sooner or later. It was dealt with for now though, so nothing to worry about for the immediate future at least. With a little luck...it'd have been permanently dealt with.

Soon enough, she had arrived at the guild hall. She pulled the reigns on the horse, coming to a halt in front of it. Her eyes widened at the sight of it, now that she was able to take in the sight...well, the others at the guild had been fairly busy, hadn't they? She felt a tad bit bad about having to leave so suddenly, but it couldn't be helped. It wasn't a matter she could have ignored, even if she had wanted too.

Arletta hopped off her steed, giving the horse an affectionate pat on the nose before heading indoors, and was immediately greeted by Bart.

[color=8882be]"Ah-!"[/color] She gave the human a somewhat deadpan expression as he likened her last name to something she'd rather not be associated with. She had to resist the urge to slap him - there were more important subjects at hand. [color=8882be]"...please for your personal health and my sanity do not do that again."[/color] She deadpanned, before shifting to a friendly, though somewhat tired smile. [color=8882be]"It's been awhile. I apologize for leaving so suddenly, but..."[/color] She fidgeted, glancing to the side and shifting her weight from one foot to the other, as if uncomfortable about the subject. It seemed likely, though the Dullahan didn't seem to be one to do such a thing upon first impression. [color=8882be]"I...it was a personal matter. It shall have no bearing on my ability or the guild."[/color] She sighed, shaking her head.

She glanced around the guildhall, construction seemed to be going well! Dwarves were excellent craftsmen in her experience, though she had limited experience with them in her slightly longer than average life.

[color=8882be]"Regardless, you've been busy! This place looks much better already! You have plans to add a sparring arena or some sort of training facilities, I hope?"[/color] She grinned, offering a little personal suggestion before moving onto the current topic. [color=8882be]"Uhm, but if a quest is available I would gladly take it."[/color] If anything, she just wanted busy work to keep herself busy.
