[color=bc8dbf]"Ah, the cookies aren't quite available yet,"[/color] Sylvia replied to Kira, [color=bc8dbf]"Our nectar is too potent to use by itself, and needs to be alchemically counterbalanced with other herbs. That's mostly what the greenhouse will be used for."[/color]

Afterwards, the sisters made their way to the kitchen. [color=f49ac2]"We're making pies, pastas, and pastries!"[/color] Vivian exclaimed excitedly in response to Bart's inquiry. As a baker, these were her specialties, and to a degree, the limits of her repertoire. Hopefully no one was on a carb-free diet. However, the minor awkwardness that occurred between Bart and Neil made the sisters, especially Sylvia, visibly uncomfortable.

[color=f49ac2]"Hey Bart, I know we haven't been here for very long, but are you planning on keeping Neil in the Guild?"[/color] Vivian asked, though this question prompted a swift punch from Sylvia. [color=f49ac2]"What [i]I mean[/i] is,"[/color] Vivian said sharply, rubbing her upper arm where she was hit, and shooting Sylvia daggers with her eyes, [color=f49ac2]"He's a part of this Guild, isn't he? Sylvia and I don't always get along, but we make up afterwards. I mean, we have to, we're literally attached at the hip, but you're connected too, through the Guild. I'm not saying you should apologize to him, and maybe the best you can do is agree to disagree, but this awkwardness hurts more than it helps, and if you think no one else feels or sees it, then you've got another thing coming. The longer this festers, the more people will be forced to pick sides, and that leads to a widening of the rift. I know, members of a family are supposed to protect each other, not jeopardize each other, but more importantly, family's forgive. It doesn't have to be tonight, but think about it, okay? I remember the proud look on your face when you invited us the the Guild. But this uncomfortable aura isn't something to be proud of, it doesn't feel like family."[/color]
