Damion's words struck a cord with Chancy, the pouty expression completely falling from her face. Unfortunately, it struck the wrong sort of cord. "No, of course I don't. I never do. Nope, can't have anything to do with how everyone's staring at me like I'm some sort of idiot." Tears of frustration and anger welled up in her eyes as she tightly gripped her mug. Her hands were quickly losing color due to the sheer pressure of her grip. In a raised voice she continued, "Can't be how every time something happens, or even when something doesn't, I'm treated like a goddamn baby to be coddled and pushed aside so the real adults can get back to their grown-up work!" In a fit of fury, the drink be damned, she threw the mug violently onto the ground - briefly reveling in its shattering before grabbing her broom and rushing off. Yes, she knew she was causing a scene. She knew what she was doing wouldn't help with her childish image any, but it just felt so good. Damion had the best of intentions, she knew, but it was so infuriating being talked to like a child. She was sixteen! Fully of age, if only barely. She could cast a spell just as good as any other! She could find relics, survive bandit attacks, and be an otherwise useful asset! So, why did everyone have to treat her like some unruly kid?!?! Naturally, no answers came. Only more tears once she managed to find a place - outside the Guild Hall - that she felt alone and safe.

Circe lead Jin into her tent, heading for her private water supply to fix herself - and Jin if he wanted one - a drink before getting down to business, as was usual for them. "Tensions are increasing at the Sun's borders, with the King's men offering a surprising bit of resistance. I understand that their military training and numbers have my men at a disadvantage, but we have the element of surprise. That, and myself of course." Circe took a delicate sip from her mug before getting to the heart of things. "Have our eyes and ears reported anything else of interest? Reasons why, opportunities to exploit, etcetera?" She was no formal courtier, but she used their methods well - employing spies, using morale and finance against her enemies, and so on.

"If you're looking for food, you're in luck, there's a stall there, a guy on the corner there, and then there's that one guy who only sells cabbages. No idea where he gets them." Leon said, avoiding the question about what he was doing. Frankly, he usually did whatever he felt like doing, sometimes he even enjoyed just standing around and openly mocking people, it wasn't the best way to make friends, but it certainly did help when someone got angry, and by extension careless, and Leon was able to slip away with some more money.
