Many a famous rivalry dotted the history of Elysia; from Great Houses Majid and Kaveh to the opposing Anyeli factions of Apali and Skotadi. And now, the conflict between Thomas Wynfendale and Michael Armstrong was playing out in his neighbourhood just a few blocks away. Just hearing the two names made Faris want to wince. And had he flexible ears like Therian, they would have flattened against in skull.
Fari had ignored the two's petty arguments for most part, until everyone else decided that enough was enough, and pooled together a reward for whoever could sort things out. Then he jumped at the opportunity to intervene in the long-standing dispute, and get paid for doing so. The basics he was clear about; both Wynfendale and Amrstrong had declared that they were the owner of some gardening equipment. It was harder to not know what was going on, with their constant and very vocal arguments. The former said that the latter borrowed the equipment only to never return the item, while the latter accused the former of attempting to steal his tools.
He decided to invite Armstrong over for some tea first. Hopefully the beverage would calm the man down sufficiently for him to get started. Leaning back in his chair, Faris took a sip of the freshly brewed drink before beginning. "Good day, Mister Armstrong; please help yourself to the tea. I hear that Wynfendale has been eyeing your...ladder, was it? Care to elaborate? Has he actually made a move on your gardening tools?"
