I don't think it's about the guild's safety.[/color]" [/quote] [color=bc8dbf]"That's...a good point,"[/color] Sylvia said, introspectively, [color=bc8dbf]"Though Bart's stated reason, being concerned about the guild's safety, is rational, his behavior is irrational."[/color] [color=f49ac2]"He's behaving like a child, you mean,"[/color] Vivian butt in. [color=bc8dbf]"He's behaving [i]emotionally[/i], but if his reasons were purely rational, he wouldn't be emotional and would argue things through calmly,"[/color] Sylvia suggested. [color=f49ac2]"Instead, he's just blaming Neil. The fact is, I don't care who's [i]fault[/i] it is; Bart is the older, more experienced person, not to mention the guildmaster, He HAS to be the adult in this situation. By allowing this situation to persist, he's actually undermining his own authority. Bart's well within his rights to exert his authority by expelling Neil from the guild for insubordination..."[/color] a look from Sylvia caused Vivian to quickly add, [color=f49ac2]"...of course, the better option is to reach some sort of amicable compromise. The fact that Bart has done neither means he's not fulfilling his responsibilities as guildmaster, letting Neil have his way without permission and just moping about it."[/color] As dinner was almost done being made, Sylvia sighed, [color=bc8dbf]"Please invite Neil to have dinner with everyone. Vivian and I...will bring some food to Bart and try to smooth out this situation. We grew up in a small business ran by both of our parents, well, foster parents. So we know the friction that comes from being in an organization with people that you have strong emotional connections with."[/color]
