Tiles: I get that you were trying to stay safe, but working with us and Creme you might have a chance.

Tiles: You can choose to fight the crown on your terms, prevent anyone else from being firebombed.

Tiles: That’s why I’m here too..
 

Dive: You’re part of the same guild, right?

Tiles: Mm… I lost a lot too when that happened.

Tiles: My family gone.

Dive: You’ve got Jackie back, don’t you?

Tiles: I suppose I do, I wasn’t ready for that to happen today….

Dive: Then you’ve got something to fight for too…

Tiles: And what of you?

Dive: I want Ib to be safe.

Dive: I’m sorry for the outburst…

Dive: Especially at Creme. I’m going to have to get used to you being here but..

Dive: Promise you’ll do your best to stay safe. If you get hurt, Ib gets hurt too right?

Creme: I suppose that’s true…

Dive: And I guess that means I have to keep you safe too.

Creme: Mm….

You hear a knocking on the desk.

Fall: Sorry to take so long, didn’t feel right to interrupt ya’ll.

Courier: Think it was a good call to hold off.

Fall: I got some soup if ya’ll want to sample the special. Think everyone needs some.

Tiles: May I?

Fall hands you a spoon. You take a sip..

Tiles: O-oh…

It tastes reminiscent of soups you had growing up back in swords before your days in the guild.

You’re reminded of the little tin cups filled with it you and Jackie used to get from local shelters who were offering.

Fall: You okay?

Tiles: Think I’d like some more if you could…

Fall: Sure. On the house since you’ve just come back from a long job.

Fall: Consider it a welcome.

You sit down at the stool, both Creme and Courier sitting down next to you as well. Bastion scoots onto a spot as well, only to be immediately carded.

They don’t fare well, they were literally born today.

Fall: Is this guy one of yours or…

TIles: Mine, give them some soup and crackers if it’s alright.

Fall: Sure thing…

You look over.

Creme: Dive, do you-

Dive shakes his head.

Dive: Not really hungry right now to be honest. I’m still thinking about a ton if that’s okay…

Creme: I understand. You can still sit with us.

He gives Creme a little nod, reluctant at first. His hair stands up a bit, he’s not looking very comfortable in the setting just yet…

You manage to have a nice dinner. The first in a long time..

You ponder if you really do have a potential home within here…

You get some time to sit around and ramble with the group.

For people you’ve just met, they’re quite nice…

It makes you miss dinners at the guild a bit…

It wasn’t long until Gallows walks right in, Fall giving a little gesture to to him.

He takes a moment to register before returning it.

Fall: Gally! You here to eat?



Gallow: Mm.. That and to deliver some news to the group.

Gallows: Starman is looking busy in R&D tonight. Something planned for a job soon.

Gallows: They’ve allotted some time off of field work for everyone who’s not already occupied until then.

Gallows: Tomorrow looking like a day to freshen up before the big job is assigned. Until then, I advise nobody injure themselves.

Fall: Ah… 

Gallows seems to avoid making eye contact with anyone as he speaks, oddly timid.

He turns to face Courier.

Gallows: Lots of new people today.

Courier: Aye… you going to be okay with that?

Gallows: Perhaps…

Gallows: Think I may choose to eat in my room tonight if I’m honest.

Courier: You sure? It’d be good for you to be out here some.

Gallows: Mm… I suppose you’re out here so that does make me a little conflicted..

Creme: Is everything okay?

Gallows goes quiet, looking a little distressed in the moment.
