[quote]Having volunteered to invite Neil to dinner, Talia pointed you to his room at the second floor. With a few knocks, Neil answered the door. He was a bit surprised at first but then sported a friendly smile.

"Oh, hey. You're-- you're one of the new members, right?" Neil remembered. "I-I don't think we've been properly introduced. I suppose now's a good time as any. Ahem." He extended a hand for you to shake. "H-Hello, I'm Neil. I'm one of the original members of the guild. Back then, we've-we've got quite the number of members but... well, nothing lasts forever, I guess."[/quote]

[color=a187be]"Kira Gigas. Pleased to meet you, Neil."[/color], she replied, shaking his hand with a smile. Upon hearing the latter part of his comment, she raised an eyebrow.

[color=a187be][i]There used to be more of us? Wonder what happened? Probably Neil and Bart's arguing drove the others away, I'm betting.[/i][/color], the young Beelzebub thought to herself.

[quote]You notice his eyes occasionally flit away, taking brief glances at your body and wings. Try as he might, but he could not hide that he was nervous talking to you.

"So uhh, what's up?"[/quote]

[color=a187be]"Might wanna be careful with the ogling there, pal. Some mamono I know would take that as an open invitation."[/color], Kira joked with a giggle, flattered that her appearance was causing Neil to stutter and stumble, but she wasn't here to tease him. With a sigh, she looked to the young man with a sober expression. [color=a187be]"I'm here to tell you that dinner's ready, but I'm also here to talk to you about....what happened earlier. Look, I know you don't wanna hear more of it, but come on. This thing between you and Bart has to stop. I may have just gotten here, but from what I hear, this feud has been going on for a time. And you to admit at this point: This is getting stupid."[/color]

Kira hoped she wasn't being too blunt and confrontational, but with being a new arrival, she didn't have much to go on except being honest and willing to listen. Perhaps if Neil vented, even just little bit, he'll calm down enough to be civil with Bart. Or, at the very least, ignore the guildmaster and not get into another argument.
