You decided to be the one to give Talia the Cyclops a short tour around the guild. You could see the wonder in her eyes... eye as she gazed upon the newly-furnished areas of the headquarters. "[color=lavender]You even have a forge![/color]" She exclaimed when the two of you explored the forge and armory. She explored and inspected the furnace and other forge tools, still with wonder in her eye.

"[color=lavender]You said earlier that you only started a few days ago... and that the Dwarves only worked on it recently... does that mean you used the building in its unrepaired state?[/color]" Talia asked incredulously. "[color=lavender]O-Oh, perhaps it was actually usable. It's just that you hired the Dwarves to clean it up and make it new?[/color]" You knew that was not the case but it was up to you to explain that to the Cyclops.

"[color=lavender]...Did you see that... tool? You know, the one your friend has and hid immediately. You said nothing about it.[/color]" Talia began a new topic, this time concerning Neil. "[color=lavender]It was... producing sound... music. Strange music. I've never seen something like that.[/color]" She said. "[color=lavender]Did you know about that, Miss Dupain? I mean, if you don't then doesn't it concern you that your friend is keeping such secrets from you?[/color]"

[quote=Magnus Eissenhoeff][color=FF5353][b]"Niel...what was that stone on the table you were using? I didn't take you for a magician. Its song was really nice...it reminded me of a bard I met on the road my first time to the guild,"[/b][/color][/quote]

"S-Stone...? It's-It's-It's nothing Magnus, it's just uhhh... ahhh..." Neil tried in vain to answer but decided to change topics. "Wait, wait! What-What do you mean the song reminded you of a bard? That kind of music exists in this place?" He asked incredulously. Now he was the one asking questions though [u]Magnus[/u] was free to continue pressing the boy.

It was then that [u]Rebecca[/u] arrived and shifted all attention to her.

[quote=Rebecca St. Croix][color=edd902]"Who did that, and did they pay for it?"[/color][/quote]

Neil was quick to butt in. "Y-Yeah, Magnus. What-what happened to your shirt?" He now sounded more relieved and calm, likely because he thought his secret was no longer the subject of the conversation.

[quote=Freyr][color=8dc73f]"But... I think wasn't that useless... It made me think about some things that I had previously forgotten."[/color][/quote]

"[color=2e3192]You're right. You've got that and this little pouch of gold. Hehehe![/color]" Haley chuckled.

[quote=Freyr][color=8dc73f]"What... Are your opinions about starting a family?"[/color][/quote]

"[color=2e3192]Like all other monsters, I wanna start one.[/color]" Haley gave a straight, blunt answer. "[color=2e3192]Why? Do you want to start one yourself? I mean, you're a monster after all.[/color]" The Siren gave [u]Freyr[/u] a teasing grin. "[color=2e3192]Right?[/color]"

[quote=Freyr][color=8dc73f]"Oh... And now that the mission is over... I guess... What should we do?"[/color][/quote]

"[color=2e3192]Well, we can head back if you want. You know, while the sun is still high.[/color]" Haley replied. "[color=2e3192]Still, we can also take a look around if you'd like. Boreal Port's still recovering but it's got stuff to offer. Besides seafood, I mean.[/color]" Haley then continued when she remembered something. "[color=2e3192]Oh, there's also a Dark Priest here by the way. You know, those girls who're all about the Fallen God and endless pleasure and stuff. Granted, the one here's pretty weird for their kind but I'd keep my toes up just in case.[/color]"

[quote=Bast Ragoczy][color=C6DEFF]"Oh, I hope you don't mind if a close friend joins our conversation. It just happened that she got here just at the same time you did."[/color][/quote]

"[color=fff79a]Not at all, Sir Bast. Your friend is welcome to join our conversation.[/color]" Lord Barensia replied although once you called out to [u]Eilidh[/u], he was surprised but managed to hide that mostly. "[color=fff79a]Oh! You're... friends with that Centaur... Why didn't you call out to her earlier?[/color]" He then observed [u]Eilidh[/u] before continuing. "[color=fff79a]Are... you two together? As in, 'together'?[/color]"

"[color=fff79a]All that aside though, what is it would you like to talk about Sir Bast?[/color]" Lord Barensia then got to business. "[color=fff79a]And may I know what things have you been hearing about the Barensians?[/color]"
