Darren sat quietly as he sipped his glass of water, making sure to pick up as much as he could with the noises and conversations currently going on. It took a few moments for him to sort out each conversation in his head, and even then he wasn't quite sure exactly who was talking to who. All the voices at relatively the same time made it difficult to sort out conversations. He was also able to hear the footsteps to someone walking towards them, and wondered who it was. It wasn't like he could identify someone just by what them walking sounded like, although that would help a lot.

"Hello Rutger." Both Kori and Darren said, looking at the mage who had just walked over to him. Darren moved his head slightly to let Rutger know that he was paying attention, as it was pretty much useless for him to fully face the man. 

Kori nodded at Rutger and set the flowers down, remembering that the had to get one of the meat pies to Talon before everyone else got their hands on them. Smiling sweetly to Darren and Rutger, she slipped a pie out of the bag and grabbed it with both hands. ", she did, and I'll be right back." She said simply, walking around the counter and heading back to Talon's office to hand the manly man the meat pie. It didn't take her long at all, as she arrived only moments later and another person had arrived at the bar. She couldn't help but to smile at herself as she made her way to the other side of the counter.

Kori looked at the three mages before her, ending with nodding at Artemis. "Sure, one second." She told him, getting a glass cup and filling it with water. She smiled as she handed it to him, looking around at all of the other mages currently in the building. It was currently filling up, and she always liked it when the guild hall was full of mages.
