Ugh. Sorry, for both keeping you waiting and for the rather short post. Work, procrastination and SRB2K have been keeping me occupied.
"Good morning Kira! I'm taking breakfast orders. How do you take your coffee? I hope Master Bart doesn't mind if I use the good stuff."
"Kira, would you go and get Guildmaster Bart? I shall keep our guest...entertain."
"Hello? Is there anyone here? Is this the Guild?"
"Yes, this is the Guild. Do you have a quest to post? We were planning on taking the holiday to attend to festival at Boreal Port, so I hope it's not urgent."
"I am Sir Reed of Thrakan, a village in Ortus. I am a humble knight on a... journey of enlightenment." The knight introduced himself. "I am not here to for a request. I am here to join the Guild, in the hopes that I might find... enlightenment here. And to contribute something to the world at large, even if it is small." A momentary pause before he continued. "Sooo, how do I register?"
"Ah, before I forget. May you grace me your names, miladies?"
Neil sighed and took a moment to reply. "Look, I want it to stop too. I just don't know how." He shrugged. "I can't figure out what Bart's mad at. I mean on one hand he lets us do requests against Varjo but on the other hand, he hasn't forgiven me for... who knows what I did. It's like I personally offended him somehow." He sighed one more time. "I-I don't know what to do about this, Miss Gigas."
"Anyway, I'm not joining you all at dinner. Better that me and Bart stay away from each other for now so as not to spoil the mood and all."
