[color=C6DEFF]"Hm... You have a point..."[/color] Bast replied to Talia, Haley and Neil, tapping his fingers on the top of his cane with a thoughtful expression.

[color=C6DEFF]"Well... Whatever it may be your decision, I'm looking forward to the consequences it will bring. All this situation looks so... [I]entertaining[/I]..."[/color] Bast said with a mysterious smile as he left for the night.

[hr]

The night was tranquil, and the next day would prove to be anything but bland and boring.
When he woke up, the first things he saw was the blonde girl from yesterday, practicing her martial arts in a serie of calculated and precise movements and Neil in his usual morning task, pinning the new requests on the board.

[color=C6DEFF]"Impressive, Miss Yang. You certainly is more than just a pretty face."[/color] Bast said, clapping as she finished her practice and went to talk with Neil.

If it wasn't for her, Bast would have missed it, but just like she said, Neil had a... different expression on his face. Sadness perhaps?

[color=C6DEFF]"I have to agree with Yang here... Young man, certainly there is something bothering you."[/color] Bartholomew said, looking to Neil curiously.

But before Neil could answer or Bast himself could say anything more, they were interrupted by the new arrivals. An... interesting hobgoblin, who was too eager to show his abilities of crushing rocks barehanded, an adorable, but a bit arrogant mothwoman, covering her nose obviously annoyed by the hobgoblin's presence and a lizard woman with a large pack on her back... Maybe she was a blacksmith or something?

[color=C6DEFF]"It's always amusing to see new faces. I never get tired of watching the many different types of people that walk through this door."[/color] Bast said, with a smile on his face.

[color=C6DEFF]"Hope you had a good night of sleep, Bartholomew, my friend."[/color] Bart said, tipping his hat to Bart in a discreet greeting.

[color=C6DEFF]"I'm sure that most here already know me, but to those who don't, I feel like it would be rude to not introduce myself properly. My name is Bast, Bast Ragoczy. It's a pleasure to meet so many interesting new faces."[/color] Bast said, with an overly formal bow.

When he raised his head, he saw that Eilidh coming from her quarters.
[color=C6DEFF]"Eilidh, my dear! Beautiful as always... I hope you had a good night of sleep."[/color] Bast said, with a chuckle.

Walking towards the request board, Bast gave a quick look at the new requests.
[color=C6DEFF]"Hm... I..."[/color] Bast started to say, but was interrupted when he felt a pulse of a very, very familiar magical energy. His own magic energy. It was the card he had given to Araghast... It was finally activated. 

At first, he was surprised when he felt that, but slowly, a roguish and mischievous smirk crept up on his face as he tapped his fingers on top of his cane. 

[color=C6DEFF]"Eilidh, my dear. I'm sorry but I have a rather... interesting meeting to attend to. I'm afraid I won't be able to take you this time, but I'm will be back soon, I promise."[/color] Bast said to her, turning to Bartholomew shortly after.

"[color=C6DEFF]Bartholomew, my friend. I'm afraid I won't be able to accept a request today. This time I have a request of my own to attend. But don't worry, I'll be going as myself, and not as a member of the guild."[/color] Bast said, with the same smirk on his face.

Whatever it may be that happened was certainly important. That was not Bast's usual mischievous smile. It was hard to decipher which emotions that smirk hided, but it was certainly incredibly suspicious and uncomfortable.

[i][color=C6DEFF]"I was starting to think he would never figure it out... I wonder who helped him..."[/color][/i] Bast thought to himself.

[color=C6DEFF]"...Interesting"[/color] Bast muttered to himself, walking away as cards appeared and started spinning around him until he was no long visible inside the whirlwind of cards, stopping spinning just a second after as they flew away on the wind, in a cloud of cards.
In the blink of an eye, just like that, Bast was no longer there. Unlike the carpet of cards he sometimes used to move himself, this time he did something entirely different. He appeared to be in a hurry.

[color=8dc73f][center][h1]Freyr[/h1][/center][/color]

[color=8dc73f]"Good morning, Neil, Yang, Bast..."[/color] Freyr said in a serious greeting, almost devoid of emotions.

That morning, Freyr was certainly looking a bit better than the day before, but there was still something different on him. He was still a bit troubled by all that situation from the day before. Not even the new arrivals were able to make him feel better. Even though he greeted them, he seemed to be still lost on his thoughts when he spoke to them.

[color=8dc73f]"I'm Freyr. I look forward in working with you all."[/color] Freyr said to the Mothwoman, the Lizardwoman and the Hobgoblin.

Just after finishing it, he stood up to read the requests on the board. Of all the requests on that day, maybe the 'Strange Tale' one would be the best for him. Being in a forest always helped him to think clearer and relax.

[color=8dc73f]"I think I'll take the 'Strange Tale' one. It will be good to be in a forest again, to help my to think a bit clearer."[/color] Freyr said, looking to Bartholomew and the others.

[color=8dc73f]"Anyone who might want to come with me is more than welcome. Albeit I may be a bit more silent today than the usual."[/color] he said, with a neutral expression on his face.
