The Meeting

Yren jogged to the front of the Guild Hall, and Blane was standing there with all six men with their hands tied behind their backs.

"What took you so long? And where are the girls?" Blane demanded.

"Something came up, and they are going to be watching over someone important to me. I see that the boys brought Casey and his friend over," Yren said, nodding to the four young men standing with their heads down.

"Yeah! I was pretty surprised to see them, and even more when they turned themselves in! Was this your doing?" Blane asked, and Yren nodded.

"Yes, I want you to lock them up, but I have plans for them. The boys kept their word, so make sure that they all get fed, even the two idiots lying on the ground. We will talk more about the orphanage when you come back to join us for the meeting," Yren instructed, and Blane gave him a strained look.

"Are you sure that is a good idea? These are criminals. What is the point in rewarding them?" Blane asked, looking over the men.
