[Shortly after Venom became the Guild leader, he was faced with a destructive fire that threatened several people. He was hesitant because he felt he had nothing to do with it. Millia had to snap him out of it and roped him in to help.

These days he's not even hesitating to volunteer to help others. He receives his instructions and crystals, but as he's leaving, he begins to reflect a bit. Part of him wonders if Millia would be proud of him, as he tried turning the Guild around to save it. Then he all but handed it over to her and Lord Zato once more. He's about to lose himself in thought when he sees a familiar face. Flagging him down, he approaches the prosecutor, whom he almost got to know as intimately as Phoenix. It's complicated, but he's learning to trust the older man more as a friend. More importantly, as a role model.]

Miles. May I ask you something?

[Concern flitted across the ex-prosecutor's face. He slowed his pace somewhat and allowed Venom to catch up to them. The sanctuary was just ahead, and most of the group had made a last mad dash for it.]

You're injured. As soon as we're inside I want to check your wounds. I would hate for them to get infected.

[He rewarded him with a small smile as well.]

I feel like I owe you my thanks. You did amazing out there, friend.

[poolhall_killer]

I'll be fine.

[It's nothing he hasn't endured before. Besides, he feels he can work on his own wounds. It'll be good practice. Even though his friend's smile softens him up a little.]

You did a good job out there, too. I couldn't have done that alone.

[The last of the group reaches the sanctuary, and Venom lets himself have a sigh of relief.]

I feel some tea and a hot bath are in order after this. Care to join me? At least for the tea part?

[milesedgelord]

Thank you. It was very different than being in an office or the courtroom.

[Both of those things sounded so very tempting. He was worried that between his morning run and the whole adventure he went on, he was perspiring quite a bit.]

That actually sounds wonderful, however, if we go for tea I would at least need to change out of my shirt. I worry I'm not quite presentable at the moment.

[Miles was certainly the type of person who really fretted about how he seemed in public.]

[poolhall_killer]

We should both head back home to refresh. I'm sure I too need a good washing.

But first, let me speak to the sanctuary heads and return our crystals.

[Venom removes his from his neck.]

Meet me at the dragon cafe?

[milesedgelord]

Oh of course, Here.

[He reached around his neck and pulled the crystal over his neck and handed it to his friend.]

Thank you.

Yes, that sounds perfect. I'll meet you there in half an hour.

[And with that he headed off.]
