[QUOTE="Systole, post: 5902579, member: 93930"] Ben rubs his eyes. [COLOR=royalblue]"I'm working myself to death, actually. Well, not to [I]death[/I], but I've been busy with the Lower Guild and, uh ... the other thing,"[/COLOR] he says, still somewhat unsure of Fury. He nods as Fury mentions Milo. [COLOR=royalblue]"Signor de Luca has been by a few times. He seems very interested the progress of the Lower Guild. I'd certainly be happy to accept any help you could offer."[/COLOR] A thought seems to strike him, he gathers up a couple of books and a handful of scrolls. [COLOR=royalblue]"It's a beautiful day, and this room is a bit inadequate for three people. Care to go outside?"[/COLOR] He leads Fury and Cythera back outside to the long dining tables in the yard. He gestures at the activity in the yard. [COLOR=royalblue]"This is half of what's been keeping me busy. Lower Guild rules say that any member in good standing can raise his own regiment.
