[center][h1][color=6ecff6]Ada[/color][/h1][/center] [sup][@Restalaan][@ShwiggityShwah][@PaulHaynek][@Stern Algorithm][@BKburke][/sup] Despite the rather... strange conversation and atmosphere the other members of the guild were having, Ada was much more interested in the wonderful smell coming from the kitchen. While Ada wasn't oblivious to the strange and tense atmosphere on the table, she had no idea of what Varjo was and why everyone was so afraid of this thing, so she simply focused her attention on the smell and practicing with the strange metal things Ozzy called 'silverware'. After some struggle trying to understand why she would need to use those strange metal things Ozzy was showing her, she was finally starting to get the hang of them... But she still thought it would be much easier for her to just use her claws and teeth... Since Ozzy insisted on her to use them though, Ada was trying her best to use them. Shortly after that, the food finally arrived on the table. Quite obviously interested on the meat, Ada's eyes followed Bart and Yang's hands as they put the food in the table for everyone to eat. At first, Ada remembered to use the silverware, getting a big piece of meat, albeit rather awkwardly with her fork. She was going well in using the silverware, but after eating two pieces of meat, she forgot completely about the silverware, surprised by the food's taste and began eating it by using her claws. Surprisingly enough, it wasn't as messy as one would think, since she made sure to not let anything fall off her plate (Ozzy did explain to her that she shouldn't make a mess when eating, as one of the reasons she had to use the fork and the knife to eat) and made sure to lick her fingers and claws clean before touching anything. After the dinner ended, the other members began retiring themselves to their own rooms to sleep. Promptly claiming the sofa right in front of the fireplace as hers, Ada went to sleep after filling her stomach. After a surprisingly good night of sleep (it was her first time sleeping in such a soft and cozy place), Ada woke up very early and began quietly exploring the guild as she waited for the other members to wake up. Mainly climbing the pillars and hanging herself in the wooden beams near the roof, the first ones to wake up would find Ada lazily laying above one of the wooden beams. Upon seeing them she would use her tail to hang upside down, lowering herself enough so her face would be on their level as she waited curiously for what they would do that day. [hr] [color=8dc73f][center][h1]Freyr[/h1][/center][/color] Freyr listened quietly to what the other members had to say regarding Varjo. While he certainly understood Bartholomew's thoughts about that matter and could understand why he would want to just keep as far away from Varjo as possible, he also knew that sooner or later, they would be [i]forced[/i] to take a side... Or worse... That choice probably could be already made for them. [color=8dc73f]"Before I came to the guild, I once met a traveler whom, upon questioned about wars, he told me an interesting saying... 'If you want peace, prepare for war'..."[/color] Freyr said after taking a few bites on the food that had just arrived. [color=8dc73f]"My point is, we might still be able to not take a side and lay low, but we won't have that choice for ever. This is my only concern."[/color] Freyr said, explaining why he said the words he did previously. As he heard Talia explaining Vivian about how Varjo and The Order were almost one and the same and Haley saying that the fact that were many monsters in the Guild meant that they were already Varjo's enemies, Freyr nodded agreeing with their words. That only served to further confirm Freyr's own thoughts. The Guild didn't have much choice in that matter. [color=8dc73f]"As Talia and Haley mentioned, there is also The Order... We don't have much choice in the matter. Unless Bartholomew is willing to kick out every single monster who is currently a member of the Guild, our side in this upcoming conflict is already chosen."[/color] Freyr said, with a rather grim tone. [color=8dc73f]"While Bartholomew's thoughts about the matter are undoubtedly relevant and important for the Guild to decide the path that it will take, it doesn't change the fact that he cannot ignore this conflict for much longer. Most of us are monsters. Unless the Guildmaster is willing to sacrifice most of us, I think our side is already chosen for us. We monsters do not have many choices in the matter. We will fight or we will die."[/color] Freyr said, with a serious tone. As they continued talking, it became clear that their points of view were similar regarding the issue with Varjo. They knew they would have to do something sooner or later, but it was also undeniable that they would need to gather more allies, support and strength before being able to do anything at all. While Freyr agreed with the way that they were putting things, he knew that they should at least be prepared, as things could change for the worse in a moment. As Haley mentioned how most part of the ones capable to fight on the guild had left, she looked towards him, saying that she was glad he stuck around. [color=8dc73f]"We might be quite a strange and unlikely group... But it is still interesting and fun to be here."[/color] Freyr replied with a discreet smile as he looked to Haley and then to the rest of the group. After the dinner ended and the others started to retire themselves for the night, Freyr went outside for a little bit. After such a tense conversation, he didn't feel he could just lay down and sleep. It would be better if he went to take some fresh air to take his mind off those things for now. As the morning came, Freyr woke up unusually late for him due to him being awake until late the last night. After hurriedly eating some breakfast he went to the request board to take a look on that day's requests. Surprisingly enough, the main ones were quite... strange. One of them was issued by a graverobber... Something which was dishonorable and disrespectful, while the other apparently wanted them to strike directly The Order... Which would do little to make the Guild's existence remain hidden from them. [color=8dc73f]"Having in mind what we talked about last night... I do believe it wouldn't be wise for us to take any Varjo related requests... At least until we gather some more support."[/color] Freyr said as he looked to Maria Corazon's request. [color=8dc73f] "I will probably take this one..."[/color] he said, pointing to the one posted by George Costava.
