[i]Crash[/i]. Ria flinched when she finally heard the racket from the kitchen. There'd been a pixie summoned, right? Oh no. Right. That was going to be quite the mess. Well, then she would be helping Leon clean the mess. After all, the poor boy couldn't be left to take care of the dishes used to make everyone lunch; those weren't his fault. She was about to reassure Leon he wasn't going to be alone in cleaning when the guild master drew attention.

[i][color=Aqua]Wait. Era? A dragon?[/color][/i] She looked at Gwen, trying to gauge how her sister felt about having to go back. Not good, but then again, it was to go after a dragon. Geeze, a dragon. That was both terrifying and amazing. She'd read plenty on dragons and the wars mages waged with them, about their strengths and weaknesses, the special skills slayers possessed in order to defeat them. It would be great to see one in person, but if it was angry enough to attack the city's capitol - the Mage Council of all things - then it was likely not something to be taken lightly. She couldn't let herself get distracted.

"[color=Aqua]Wait, what?[/color]" Ria blinked, realizing that was exactly what she'd done. She heard her name called by Gwen, and...They were going? They were all seriously going to take on the dragon because Torys intercepted a distress call? It would get the guild some recognition, something they needed given how slow it was getting any kind of business for their various minor enterprises, but this was a bit crazy.

Which was exactly why she needed to go. She couldn't just leave any of them to an uncertain fate. Not when she could help protect them from serious injury. "[color=Aqua]Okay.[/color]" 

She turned to Torys with a smile. "[color=Aqua]I hate to leave the guild in such a state, but it seems like one of Leon's pixies make the kitchen into quite the state. Leon and I will take care of it all when we get back. I recently placed up some more fliers so if anyone comes to register for the matchmaking service, could you please have them fill out one of the forms? There's a stack behind the bar. Standard rate is seven thousand jewels per form, up front, and I have a folder under the forms for filled out registrations.[/color]" 

That was when she heard Zenith protesting Felix coming. While the younger mage didn't need defense, he also didn't need doubt. "[color=Aqua]Why should his age matter?[/color]" Ria asked with a blink. "[color=Aqua]We're supposed to encourage growth in each other. Benching him when he's capable and anxious for a fight only stifles that growth.[/color]" It wasn't like they were sending Felix to fight by himself. She wasn't going to point it out aloud for Felix's sake, but the guild proper was going to be there. They would make sure he didn't die. Getting hurt, well worst things could happen.

Sandwich math done again, she made sure to collect another two sandwiches since Felix didn't want his. They still had a few members that needed to eat. As she passed Holly, she offered the armored mage one before continuing out to join what was the rest of her 'team'. She offered one to Lilliana and the other to Cloven. "[color=Aqua]Here, you two should eat. Lilliana, I know you must be hungry after just getting back. Cloven, always good to have something in your stomach to give you energy for a fight, and you should team up with us.[/color]"
