Bast quietly listened to Bartholomew as he said for everyone to tone down Varjo related quests. Bast himself wasn't directly helping the rebellion, in fact, he didn't cared about the rebellion. Not even one bit, but he was interested about Araghast and Lord Joshua. Especially Lord Joshua. While helping the rebellion was a way to draw his attention, it might prove to be annoying to deal with his soldiers later.

[color=C6DEFF]"Very well. It might be the best course of action right now. I'm not going to lie... I'm [I]very[/I] interested on Joshua... I've heard some intriguing things after I met with one of his followers. But again... It might prove to be very... inconvenient to deal with his soldiers and an entire country as an enemy..."[/color] Bast said, tapping his cane with a thoughtful expression.

[color=C6DEFF]"Anyways, Neil's plan is indeed interesting, but I feel like our newcomer's plan sounds a bit more... realistic. Would you care if I expanded on it a bit more?"[/color] Bast said, with a mischievous smile on his face.

[color=C6DEFF]"We don't know who will win between the rebels and Varjo. If we want to make sure that the guild will survive despite the outcome, we could make ourselves known to both sides by helping both of them. Even in the rare case that Varjo knows that we are not just helping them, but the rebellion as well, they will simply dismiss it as just another group of mercenaries... It might not sound that pleasant, but if we want to ensure our survival, this might be an option worth considering."[/color] He completed, carefully looking to Bartholomew and the others, studying their reactions.

Freyr got a bit surprised after the new girl, Yang Bethlehem, was so warm with him and due to the fact that she saw right through him. Was it that obvious that it was something related to love?

[color=8dc73f]"I... Thank you."[/color] Freyr said, trying to find words to reply her without much success, without being able to deny her assumption or confirm it, instead, just remaining in silent, embarrassed.

As Bartholomew continued talking, Freyr started to pay a little bit of attention to the situation he was discussing about Varjo. Freyr was a Viera. He lived his entire life in a forest so he really didn't cared that much about politics & such, but as others had just said, taking a side could prove to be a risky thing to do as they didn't knew who would win.

[color=8dc73f]"Maybe we... Should simply refrain from taking a side?"[/color] Freyr said, still a bit embarrassed by not being able to deny Yang's assumption.
