Relieved that Adele was willing to follow him, Rook sighed regardless when he saw the look on the woman's face. She was still evidently upset. He ran a hand through his hair, slightly exasperated, and looked around for a few seconds while he gathered his thoughts. "Listen," he said, firmly but quietly. "I strongly urge you not to make enemies with the people we're working for, even if they're idiots. Don't forget that, in the end, we're all in this for the money. If you ignore a client's wishes or deliberately go against them... well, I don't think I have to explain how bad that is for business. When Gaivus Hemming says jump, you don't even ask how high, you just jump as high as you can. "Secondly, I could see you were about to undermine the authority of your commanding officer in front of the client's employer. Djonn heard you, he's not going to throw everything you said into the wind, he's just trying to be diplomatic right now. For what it's worth, I think you made some very good points and suggestions, but don't make Djonn look stupid. Chain of command is still a thing. I know I joked about collectively undermining the man's authority but that's the kind of stuff you do behind his back. Okay?" Pausing for a second, Rook's face softened and he tilted his head to the side, as if he was inspecting Adele. "And lastly... are you alright? You seem very... stressed. Is it because of what happened last night?"

Fortunately much less than that.

;_; No teeeeeasing! This is srs business! Seriously.

@Fairess

You're asking me to stop teasing you? You evidently don't yet know who you're dealing with, mademoiselle. I hope you have enough creative juices left in you for another post on short notice, because I'd like for some more Rook-Adele bonding to happen before the caravan moves on.

Rook furrowed his brow at Gisele's words. It certainly sounded like somebody wanted Hemming dead very much. Now that he knew the extent of the attempts made on their client's life, Rook found himself more sympathetic towards Adele's outburst. It was absurd to hide this knowledge from the White Guard. We've obviously been hired because master Hemming no longer trusts his own entourage completely, the Montgardian thought to himself. Why haven't we been informed of our true purpose, so we can be on the lookout? Seemingly having recovered her composure, Adele went on a long, thorough and very well thought-out rant. Rook's furrowed brow raised slowly as the woman went on and on, surprised at the clarity of her insight. Of course, he realized, he shouldn't be, since the woman was obviously smart. The cannon alone said more than enough. Djonn approached. Oh, good, some actual authority, Rook thought. He took a few steps back, distancing himself from the discussion. He just wanted to do his job and gladly left the rest of the discussion, and smoothing over Adele's mess, to Djonn. It honestly didn't matter to him where they went from here, as long as they got to their destination eventually. Rook trusted Djonn to come to a reasonable agreement with Gisele. When their leader was done explaining the best course of action according to him, Rook touched Adele on the arm to grab her attention. He titled his head towards the stream, a little ways away from the halted caravan and the rest of the group. "Come with me," he said quietly.

Ignore work: Play Dominion

My friends and I used to play Dominion like this a few years ago, until we got a set of physical cards. Good stuff.

I'm surprised you implemented a rating system, Mahz. The Guild functioned just fine without one for years and people were (in)famous based on merit and reputation alone. We don't need numbers for that.

How's your job going, Hank?

@clark

The man in charge of evaluating the applicants for said promotion has been struck with illness for the past week, so I'm unfortunately left in limbo for a while longer. Things are good, though. Someone who works at the department in question told me that only two of the six applicants, myself and a coworker of mine, have any shot at getting the position, so my odds are good.

Also, that last post was an attempt at an intelligent Adele. Hopefully I didn't overdo it.

@Fairess

Maybe a little bit? No, it's fine.

Who else loves HeySeuss?

My fan club needs ressurecting.

@Gwazi Magnum

Hey, shut up. This thread is about HeySeuss. Take your egocentrism elsewhere.

It's like watching two protégés squabble for the favor of their master.
