[quote=Talia]"But if you ask me, I... I don't think it's about the guild's safety."[/quote]

[color=a187be]Ya think? From the way Bart acted, you'd think he had committed a grave sin against Varjo. If that's true, it's anyone guess on what he did."[/color], Kira replied, sighing as she crossed her arms. [color=a187be]"Still doesn't solve our current problem, though."[/color]

[quote]"That's...a good point," Sylvia said, introspectively, "Though Bart's stated reason, being concerned about the guild's safety, is rational, his behavior is irrational."

"He's behaving like a child, you mean," Vivian butt in.

"He's behaving emotionally, but if his reasons were purely rational, he wouldn't be emotional and would argue things through calmly," Sylvia suggested.

"Instead, he's just blaming Neil. The fact is, I don't care who's fault 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..." a look from Sylvia caused Vivian to quickly add, "...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."

As dinner was almost done being made, Sylvia sighed, "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."[/quote]

[color=a187be]"I'll...go find Neil. Maybe talk to him and, at the very least, convince him to put this stupid feud behind him. Can't hurt to try, right?"[/color], said the Beelzebub as she walked out of the kitchen in search of the wayward guild member.
