Ed shifted from side to side, a mildly contemplative look settling upon his features as his gaze dazed off to one side. He had more than enough to bring up for today’s meeting, yet wished to keep the meeting somewhat short; he had been a busy man as of recently, finding himself lingering within his office for a lot longer than he once did. With arms folded across his chest, Ed finally glanced around towards those sat around before he stated quietly, ❝ Hopefully today’s meeting won’t take too much of our time- ❞
❝ First of all, I’d like to welcome Malachi to Flintlock, as well as welcome Mary back. Don’t forget to sign up for a rank in order to earn your keep around here; it’s pretty important. ❞ Eddie tipped his head towards the newcomers in acknowledgement. ❝ So, as you all know, we’ve recently had a small group from the prairie seek refuge here in the canteen... ❞ Brows bunched together slightly, Ed lowering his gaze to think about to go by his next words. ❝ I just want to… let you all know that- ❞
He was grateful.
He blinked in thought; it wasn’t easy, the things that he had asked the Flintlockers to do in order to provide for the troubled group. In fact, he could acknowledge that some things which had happened would’ve been traumatising to people. ❝ you all did a good job. ❞ He decided to settle on the praise matter-of-factly. ❝ People like you give people like them hope. ❞ He twitched his nose, looking away in thought. ❝ And, whilst we’re talking about all of you, I think it’s only fair to point out that I’ve noticed activity around these parts have been pretty impressive recently, not only with work around the group but also with conversation within the community as a whole. So, well done everyone. ❞
❝ Anyway, in regards to the issue within the prairie, a couple of Arbiters went to visit Bluestem Prairie in order to act as a mediator, but unfortunately it seems that Van Den Bergh is not interested in diplomacy. So, until further notice, Bluestem Prairie will no longer be considered allies and instead we shall view them as neutrals. I don’t want to throw ourselves into the firing line, but at the same time I know that if we don’t try to settle tensions then there will be one hell of a lot more casualties to come. ❞
Eddie frowned carefully. Contemplatively. And then, he brought up, ❝ I would like for people to visit the other groups in the next two weeks; I’d like for them to be aware of what is happening in Bluestem so that groups can work together to diffuse the issue at hand. Would anybody be willing to visit a group? ❞ He paused, eyes scanning across the room for any offers before he moved along.
❝ Lastly, I just want to quickly point out that on Monday I will be putting up new rank-related tasks, but with a twist. It’ll be a list of morale boosting events and ideas for around the Lodge. I understand that the winter can be exhausting and straining on us all, so I hope that this will help lift people’s spirits. ❞ Eddie was silent for a moment, searching between everyone, before he said, ❝ Any questions? ❞
