While some might have been restless because of the lack of jobs, Ria managed to keep herself busy just fine. The guild may not have hosted all that many as customers of either their talents or their food, but that didn't meant there weren't chores to do. Things needed to be kept tidy - just in case. One could not simply overlook chairs out of place, dust on tables, or dirt on the floor. It didn't matter if the tasks were completed the other day - fresh particulate would come whether the guild was a bustling place of business or not. She hoped it would be the former sometime soon, if only for the sake of getting at least one or two of their mages out of the hall and helping others. Until then, though, there would be other things more pressing.

Like running errands around town. She'd already finished her shift as guild cook, and cleaned the pots and pans she'd used to make breakfast for the guild members that came in earlier in the day. The errands weren't truly necessary - mostly window shopping after her telling herself she was looking for something other than the selection of flowers she chose to grow in planters around the guildhall to give the place more color - but they helped her get her face out there. Her name and her little business of helping people connect with just the right others were becoming well known - at least, when compared to the name Fenixtear. Enough people knew about it, and used it, to help pay the bills and keep the guild fed. That was what counted, right? Eventually people would know more about Fenixtear, be looking for a guild of talented individuals to help them with their problem...a guild that didn't charge the insane rates of more widely known guilds.

Today wasn't really much of a chatty day with the town proper though. It'd been a few days since she slept any significant amount of time, and she was starting to feel it. The bounce wasn't quite in her step the way it usually was. Her natural smile felt a bit heavier on the edges, though it grew dazzling every time she saw someone looking at her. So after only an hour out of the guildhall, and with having put a few more fliers up on notice boards that significantly lacked ads for her business, Ria walked back to the guildhall. Before turning down the alley to the entrance, she paused to give herself a moment to breath and collect herself before putting her usual bright smile in place. 

Armful of forms and leaflets in hand, she opened the door and walked into the guildhall. Her gaze landed on one of their most senior members first. "[color=Aqua]Oh Grasidia, you're here.[/color]" That was about all the consideration she gave the small hall. She closed the door and headed for the bar counter as she continued, "[color=Aqua]Do you want me to see if Zenith is in the kitchen to get you something to eat?[/color]"  It wasn't so much to take up her usual spot, but because she liked to keep the registration forms handy during the day. If someone saw her flyer and wanted to enlist her services, she wanted to have them close by instead of having to head to her lodging to get them. 

"[color=Aqua]Or a drink?[/color]" She didn't cast her gaze around the guildhall as she set to organizing the liquor and glasses. "[color=Aqua]Sorry if anyone was looking for me while I was out, but I'm back now.[/color]" That was when she finally did glance up, to offer her guild mates a cheerful smile. Her mind was already going over other things that she could do to keep her energy level up. The liquor was organized, but perhaps the tables needed cleaning again? Or maybe she could reorganize the planters; the ones over by the eastern window had been there an awful long time and maybe could do better near the western window, and vice versa. There was always reviewing registrations for her business. Baybern and Melody made such a lovely couple, and their recommendation to a few of their friends had certainly helped. 

She blinked a few times quickly to get her mind back on task. "[color=Aqua]So if there's anything I can get anyone, just let me know. 'Kay?[/color]" Her smile flared up for a second before settling into its natural chipper state.
