-- garrisonedGuardian [GG]  began pestering gregariousTroubadour [GT]  at 19:10 --

[07:10] -- gregariousTroubadour [GT]  is looking at the wall, where a painting of a naked bull surrounded by bull cherubim is proudly displayed. He has a distant look in his eyes --

[07:12] -- garrisonedGuardian [GG]  rushes down the hall until he reaches the door to the infirmary. He puases a few moments to catch his breath, fix his hair, and adjust his clothes. He's wearing his DRAGONBOSS SUIT, which he wore specifically for this occasion. He takes a few breaths, steels his nerves, and walks into the room. --

[07:12] GG: Hey Ryspor
