"[color=royalblue]Oh jeez. Not so okay, apparently.[/color]" Haley remarked about [u]Ditzy's[/u] injury on the Hobgoblin's side. Seeing [u]Morgan[/u] help out and the others offering aid, Haley's concerns lightened.

The party then returned to the guild headquarters. The hole [u]Titanica[/u] made remained its entrance and the sight of it was almost getting normal, although everyone knew that was not the case. Bart was the first to greet the party, who appeared just at the entrance. "[color=f26522]Oh, hey all. I was just about to check if you guys were here. What a coincidence. Also, what a coincidence that you all arrived here together. Unless you all took the same quest...[/color]"

"[color=f26522]Anyway, come inside for dinner and we can talk about your quests today while we eat. Yang and Ozzy's cooking.[/color]" The guildmaster beckoned the party inside.

As the guild assembled in the dining room, Neil was stopped by Bart who blocked the way. The bad blood between them resurfacing without provocation. Neil was unnerved by the sudden confrontation but stood his ground. "I'm invited to the dinner too, am I not?"

"[color=f26522]Of course, Neil. You're part of the guild, aren't you?[/color]" Bart stepped aside but the sarcasm in his words were plain as day.

Neil looked to the rest of the party and sighed. "You know, I'm kind of full right now. I think I'll eat later. Tell me how's Ozzy and Yang's cooking later, you guys." And with that, he left. Not wanting to cause drama or make the dinner awkward. Haley could only sigh at the display and chose not to intervene, too tired to do so.

The dinner was soon prepared and the guild was ready to feast, save for Neil and Talia who was also apparently not present. Bart sat amongst the guild members, his previous rudeness towards Neil gone as soon as it came. "[color=f26522]So everyone, how was your quests today? Oh and make sure you give your compliments to the chefs today.[/color]"

"[color=royalblue]Cold. If I had known we were going to Coldstep Pass, I'd have brought some extra clothes. Good thing Vară and Titanica were with me to keep things warm.[/color]" Haley was the first to reply. "[color=royalblue]We also had dinner back at Ambran so I'll just take a small serving tonight. Don't know about the other two though.[/color]"

"[color=f26522]Oh, well more for us then.[/color]" Bart laughed. "[color=f26522]And I see we the Altissima sisters have come to join us. Welcome, you two! Sorry I wasn't here to when you arrived.[/color]"
