Lucien gave both Aria and Dylan a wave. The duo seemed to be fairing better now.
"Heh, I wouldn't be surprised it they got lost." He let out a low whistle, "this place is pretty huge!" He wondered if the boss was somewhere, trying something super awesome. In his excitement he kind of let out a loud whoop. The man brought both hands to his mouth then shot both Aria and Dylan an apologetic glance. "Sorry, sorry, won't happen again." Angel then began leading him away towards two humongous fridges.
He thanked Angel, but his glance lingered on the man. Lucien understood the feeling of wanting to run away from everything. It was why he left home and all the balls and silly piano recitals in the first place. "Being a guilder is pretty fun..." he tapped the man on the shoulder and grinned from ear to ear. "Hey, hey, maybe it'll be the life for you, or you could head to this place called Thaum and become a gladiator." He struck a pose, before taking two cans. One had cherry soda and the other had grape in it. He made his way back towards the table, in a few hours they would need to start preparing for their mission.

Suddenly, Moira looked like she about to lose it. Drops of blood dripped onto the table and she clenched her fists. Xan flinched at the sudden unexpected reaction and found herself at a loss of words. She stared at the duo, expression one of confusion.
The berserker began to tremble and muttered something about a mistake. Whatever it was, it was probably something terrible. Something very personal. "I shouldn't have asked--" but before Xan could apologize, the woman began striding towards the door and Syed was practically yanked out of his chair. She took a step forward, the apology already on her lips, but before she could say it, the door slammed shut.
The girl let out a sigh then turned to face Marcus. "Sorry, I didn't know it was an off limit topic." She sank into one of the couches, eyes plastered to the door. She'd apologize later, hopefully by then Moira would be calm. "It must have been something really terrible..."
