[color=8dc73f][center][h1]Freyr[/h1][/center][/color] Freyr was honestly surprised when he heard Haley scolding him so angrily as she was. Even though he knew that not every single human was like that, he trusted Bartholomew. He had honestly trusted him when he had first invited Freyr to join the guild. It wasn't an understatement to say that Freyr didn't trust Bartholomew as much as he did before. Haley didn't seem to be the only one worried about him though, as it became evident when Nagare followed him, gently asking if he was ok. Her approach was undeniably much more... delicate than Haley though. Ditzy also wanted to know what was happening, but he was much more innocent than the others and apparently didn't think much about what Bartholomew said. He was too quick to trust others in Freyr's opinion... Not that it was a bad thing, it was just that the world wasn't that kind... [color=8dc73f]"You don't need to tell [i]me[/i] that not all humans are the same, Haley!"[/color] Freyr replied, with a penetrating stare and for the first time, raising his voice even if it was a little bit. [color=8dc73f]"After all... It was me who first left the Vieran Woods with these same ideas in my head."[/color] He continued with a distant, softer stare as his voice became softer once more. [color=8dc73f]"It's... it's ok. I will be fine. I just need some time. Thanks for your concern, Nagare, Ditzy. And I'm sorry for raising my foice, Haley."[/color] Freyr said, breathing deeply as he closed his eyes for a second. [color=8dc73f]"It's funny on how familiar this all feels... Bartholomew refuses to make a decision regarding the Varjans despite the urgency of the situation. Just like the Vieran Elders, refusing to make a decision regarding humans..."[/color] Freyr said, with a somber expression on his face. What was the 'decision' the Vieran Elders needed to make regarding humans? Freyr himself apparently still wasn't certain... At least not yet. [color=8dc73f]"I..."[/color] Freyr started, but interrupted himself, sighing heavily. [color=8dc73f]"Maybe it's time for me to visit the Vieran Woods once more..."[/color] Freyr said, with a distant stare. By the way he was talking, he wasn't going to abandon the guild yet, but he indeed wanted to visit the Vieran Woods after so many years away from it. [@PaulHaynek] [@Restalaan] [@AzureKnight]
