Holly couldn't help but feel a little saddened by Felix's reasoning for their Guild Master being missing. [color=red][i]Yes, she could be getting us a new job,[/i][/color] Holly thought to herself in agreement, though she knew that Felix did not need to say it out loud. He was only a kid though, so she had to give him some kind of lenience, even if his words were a little demoralising for the rest of the guild - concerning even. She didn't want him to go out and find jobs on his own, he may have been able to - somewhat - handle himself, but he was still young. Perhaps it was not [i]him[/i] that she was worried about. Though her thoughts were a little worrying, a smile touched on her face as he asked Astoria if she would be a sparring partner, already knowing what the girl would answer.

Not sure what to do next other than relax, she did just that - leaning back in her seat to rest her back and allowing her eyes to roam the room once more. She was tempted to chase up Lilliana, who she had spotted retreating up to what Holly was guessing was her room, however she figured that she would want some time to rest after such a lengthy time away from the guild: That was something that Holly could both appreciate and respect, having needed the same a few times. 

There [i]was[/i] something that caught her attention, though. The clattering of tools and pans from the kitchen, the fault of the Pixie in the kitchen which was, by extension, the fault of Leon. Well, it wasn't [i]exactly[/i] his fault, Holly needed someone to blame for it, at least for some amusement. She decided to have a little fun with it, getting up from where she was sitting to walk her way over to Leon. She wasn't just doing this because she wanted to harass people at random, she felt it part of her duties to interact with the lower ranked mages, in order to get to know them and to help them along. Leon was someone who interested her a lot, as his magic was certainly something special. She walked her way past him, as if he wasn't her target, but then turns, placing her hands on both of his shoulders from behind him.

[color=red]"Enjoying your meal?"[/color] Holly asks, from behind. She releases his shoulders, taking a peek down to the mess of textbooks that the Fae Scholar had obviously been reading at some point. [color=red]"You know, sparring would do some good for you to get some practice instead of theory - especially if it stops your Pixies from destroying the kitchen. How about a match, one on one?"[/color] She went quiet, letting him dwell on that as if she was serious. Then, she let him off the hook a little. [color=red]"I'm kidding. But I'm almost certain you don't want to have to tidy up after your Pixie, hm?"[/color] She gave him a pat on the shoulder, as if just to underline what she was saying. She was grinning beneath her helmet nonetheless.
