[quote=Kira Gigas][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 have to admit at this point: This is getting stupid."[/color][/quote]

Neil sighed and took a moment to reply. "Look, I want it to stop too. I just don't know how." He shrugged. "I can't figure out what Bart's mad at. I mean on one hand he lets us do requests against Varjo but on the other hand, he hasn't forgiven me for... who knows what I did. It's like I personally offended him somehow." He sighed one more time. "I-I don't know what to do about this, Miss Gigas."

"Anyway, I'm not joining you all at dinner. Better that me and Bart stay away from each other for now so as not to spoil the mood and all." You remember that Neil was not yet aware that Bart was not attending dinner tonight.

[quote=Sylvia Altissima][color=bc8dbf]"We're sorry about what we said at dinner, and if it's any consolation, we sent someone to talk to Neil about his behavior, and we know that you just have the Guild's best interests at heart..."[/color][/quote]

[quote=Vivian Altissima][color=f49ac2]"...but we can tell that something else is bothering you...about Varjo. But if you don't tell us, we can't empathize with you, and people will continue to argue against your stance without taking your feelings into consideration. Sure, you could enforce your will as Guildmaster, but I don't think that's the kind of guild you want to build."[/color][/quote]

Bart inhaled before sharply looking at the [u]Altissima's sisters[/u] "[color=f26522]I don't need to tell you that Varjo's dangerous. If I could have, I would have built the guild somewhere far away from here. But this was the best I could achieve. Years of preparation, saving up, cutting corners...[/color]" Bart trailed off. "[color=f26522]I will [b]not[/b] let anything happen to this guild. I will not let all my effort to get here go to waste.[/color]"

"[color=f26522]And if anyone wants to take this guild away from me, they can pry it from my cold, dead hands. Be they Varjo, or Neil, or whoever.[/color]"

[quote=Ozzy Skyway][color=gold]"Dang did I need that!  Things have been so dreary and tense the last few days!  If it's not Varjo, or zombies, or bear traps, or Bart and Neil going at it, the only time I get to relax is when I cook dinner or during Sensei Yangs murderous training.  She's got a point.  We should make a day out.  Head to a lake or the beach, have a cook out or a picnic. Really get the guild back together. What do you guys think? We should bring it up at dinner... and speaking of, it should be ready by now."[/color][/quote]

Heeding [u]Ozzy's[/u] idea, Haley was the first to speak out for a brief guild vacation to lift everyone's spirits in light of recent events. Perhaps mend personal rifts while they were at it. "[color=royalblue]Hey Yang, didn't you have a flyer about some celebration or festival from Boreal Port? We could go there for our little retreat![/color]"

"[color=lavender]That's... actually a good idea.[/color]" Talia agreed. "[color=lavender]Perhaps a chance to unwind is just what we need. A release to all this tension may lead to things working out.[/color]" The Cyclops finished her thoughts and came to fully be onboard to the idea. "[color=lavender]I suggest we do this. What do the rest of you think?[/color]"
