Sylvia swooned slightly at hearing Haley describe how she was rescued by Freyr. [color=bc8dbf]"It must be wonderful for someone you love to come to your rescue!"[/color] Sylvia proclaimed, as she imagined being princess-carried by Neil, but reality soon set in as Sylvia realized that Neil would be crushed under the weight of herself, her massive clay pot, and the soil within, and heaved a despondent sigh.

Then Yang and Kira returned, and it looked like they had had an awful day. At Freyr and Kira's questions about their 'guests', Vivian replied, starting with a rhetorical question, [color=f49ac2]"Why [i]are[/i] there ever mice and devil bugs in kitchens? It appears the Guild has a bit of an...well, it's not exactly a nice word, given present company, but it begins with an 'I-' and ends with '-station'. However, they're perfectly reasonable and can be negotiated with. We've offered them some food in return for them leaving. I guess it's wrong what they say about when you give a mouse a cookie, since they certainly seem satisfied with what they have been given and aren't going to ask for anything else."[/color]

Vivian didn't know if the mice and devil bugs would actually honor their end of the deal, but she hoped saying it out loud would make it true. It was plain from Vivian's strained expression that she was actually rather annoyed at the presence of the vermin (what self-respecting chef wouldn't be?) and was just hoping for this all to end. When the guildmembers started reaching for food, a bit of panic streaked across Vivian's face as her eyes darted around, doing a quick calculation just to make sure there would be enough to go around. She hadn't planned for this meal to go for as long or as late as it did, and certainly hadn't planned on feeding her guildmates with the same stuff she gave the mice and bugs. But it looked like the food would be enough, and she didn't want to start cooking again lest the vermin become curious and wish to stay to eat whatever else Vivian started making.
