The guild's deep scar

When Claude walked out of the door, Peter gazed at Penny worriedly. She had this frown plastered across her face while she kept her eyes where Claude left. 

"Leader, should we follow him...?" Peter inquired, but Penny raised a hand and shook her head lightly. 

"Let him cool his head first. Third is new to this guild, so he is a bit confused." Penny sported a weary smile as she looked back at everyone. "He'll come by once he clears his head. I will go to my office first. Enjoy the drinks, everyone."

Penny pushed herself up, ruffling Betty's hair gently before walking away from the scene. All they could do was watch their leader jog up to the stairs without saying another word. 

"God... why did he get too riled up with that?" Gai muttered as he perched on the empty seat, gazing at Peter. "I mean, our job is already dangerous and we risk our lives every single day. It's not like we don't know what we signed up for from the start."
