[ Video / Action at the Guild ]

[ Lucy doesn't often make broadcasts on this thing, tending to be out and about on jobs or visiting friends more often. She's a social butterfly, she is. But she does believe Erza had at least a few friends here, and she should at least let them know - even if they probably already guessed if they tried reaching her. ]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but if you were acquainted with her, a friend of mine, Erza Scarlet, has ...

[ She paused, suddenly glancing away. ]

She's not here anymore. If you had arrangements with her, I guess we can still try to accomodate them - depending on what they were.

[ The same goes for Zeref of course. But still, Lucy was in a surprisingly good mood for someone with such somber words. ]

As for the rest, if anyone needs me, I'll be at the guild for a while yet. I need a break..! [ So much of everything ever going on! ]

[He grins growing even cheekier about it.]

Oh I know. That's why I cleaned off your fingers. Can't make a cake with dirty fingers now can you~

[Natsu activates the trapcard Natsu Logic!]

[ Damn that trapcard! And damn that grin, she has no defense to that! Well, she has ONE defense, and that is not to look! She huffs instead, grinnng as she went back to mixing her bowl. ]

Hmph! I could have cleaned them off myself you know..!

[ It was just better when he did it. But she chuckle, pouring her cake batter into one of the greased pans, setting it on the rack in the oven. ]

When you're finished with yours, put it in the oven too. Then we just have to cook them. You can manage right? We'll need a steady flame so it cooks evenly.

[Little did she know that if she'd done that she would have found a trapcard against him in return. He's not going to mention that though. He likes winning.]

If you say so~

[Totally not buying it. Goes back to stirring stuff on his end until finishing properly.]

Gotcha. I'll show you I can handle it!

[Grins and starts to walk over with his bowl to put it in the oven before rubbing his hands together as if to cause the fire to come out.]

[ Tsk, so competitive. Lucy chuckled quietly, leaning forward to put her bowl near his, then stepping back. ]

I know you can! It's simple. And you've already shown how you've been able to control your fire to an art.

[ See, she's so confident in his abiilty to control the fire to a level that it won't burn the cakes that she sneaked up behind him, slipping her arms around his waist and leaning against his back in a hug. He wouldn't get distracted by something like that and she couldn't get enough of hugging, or being hugged by him anyway. ]

[Was it just him or did Lucy end up a bit more touchy and seeking his touch a lot more since that day in the clearing? No it definitely wasn't him.

The grin on his lips grew to its limit and nodded to her words.]

An art huh? Well now that you said that I'll have to make it even better than it normally would be!

[ANd just as he said that he started focusing the fire under the oven manipulating its temperature bit by bit.]

[ She wanted to make up for lost time! And it wasn't like he was complaining when she came up to hug him. Besides, it was worth it to see that smile. Her face felt like it hurt she was smiling so much ever since they both admitted their feelings for each other. She muffled a faint laugh against his back, tightning her grip briefly before leaning to the side to watch. ]

Aah, now I get to see the master in action. [ She grinned teasingly, though she was curious to find out just how he was going to make it even better than normal. ]

[Teasing or not her words were encouraging as was the fact that she was pressing up against his back like that, watching him work.

He focused on the flames in the oven and used the steady stream from his hands to spread the flames evenly through the kiln of the oven before occasionally spiking the temperature just for a fraction of a second.]

[ And against his back she stayed - always finding the many ways he used his magic outside of battle fascinating. The fire was hypnotizing in itself, that in the warmth of the fire and his presence she almost forgot to pay attention to the cakes. She -should- go make the icing since it wouldn't take long for the cakes to be finished at this rate - but to make the icing she'd have to move away and she didn't really want to! ]

It's looking good so far.

[Natsu relaxed against her even more without really pushing against Lucy. Just settling himself into the sensation given off by her body. Icing? That's the last thing on his mind right now.]

Hehe It'll be done in no time just you wait~

[ With her arms around him, she could feel him relaxing, and her smile widened at that. ]

Hrmm.. smells good, too. [ It may be the best strawberry cake anyone's ever made ever. She absently laces her fingers together, suddenly amused, ]

You know, if things didn't work out the way they did with the guild, we could probably have opened up a bakery. [ The thought of that was kind of silly though. But it would be the only bakery where someone could literally get fresh pastries in such a short time. Maybe they could hold a bake sale sometime though. ]

[He chuckled at her idea pertaining to opening a bakery.]

Given we both like adventures too much to quit them, I doubt we could keep it up for long~

[That wasn't to say he was against the idea of doing this sort of things sometimes in the future as well.]

[ She grinned. ]

It could be a traveling bakery. [ Snerk, the idea. She shook her head a little. ]

But you're right, it'd be a little too boring to make cakes and pastries all the time. [ It'd be safe and all, and she could probably MAKE some of it fun, but when it came between that and adventuring, she'd still take adventuring over that. Even when it got dangerous. ]

Okay, that looks good, I think! We should let it cool down a little. Icing will come next.

I think I'd take a pass on that.

[Motion sickness. Then again if she would tend to his suffering maybe he'd put up with it.]

Alright. Let me take care of the fire.

[And just as he said that he pulled the flames back into his hands.]

Phew. Ya know this makes for good training too.

[He says grinning back happily.]

Anything I can help with for the icing?

[ Lucy hid a grin at that. She'd meant it more in the push cart traveling sense, but yes, traveling bakery would suck. Especially with his sensitivities. Of course she'd tend to him in his suffering - it's what any good partner - and girlfriend - would do. ]

Yeah? Don't tell me you're worn out from that. [ As if he could ever be. But she snagged the bowls that still had remnants of cake batter in them, presenting both to him. ]

Hmm, well the icing is already made, so It'll only take me a few minutes to put the icing on. Why don't you take the batter? [ He could lick the bowls clean. ]

Worn out? Hah as if! I could do this ten times more and I'd get stronger from it too!

[Stronger yet so he could protect her and everyone else dear to him.]

The batter? Sounds like a plan.

[Oh he was going to lick the bowls clean anyway.]

[ She chuckled. Stronger from cooking cakes. ]

Well if it's you, I believe you could do it too. [ She means it too. He could take the most mundane task and grow stronger from it. ]

Just don't go crazy, huh? You'll get a stomach ache.

AS if a bit of baking leftovers are enough to wreck my stomach~

[No really his body was definitely sturdier than one would expect from a normal person.]

[ Quite probably true, but she couldn't help but give him a skeptical look, smirking lightly. ]

Well, I'll have to take your word for it, but if you're moaning in bed later, I'm not going to look after you.

[ That's a lie, she totally would still look after him, pet his hair and let him rest in her lap and everything. ]

No way~ Now you've got me fired up. I won't let that happen!

[And he quickly gets to work cleaning up the bowls i record time.]

[ She genuinely can't help but laugh at that reaction. It was just too fun to tease him. While he made good headway with cleaning the bowls of all cake batter, she turned her attention to putting icing on the cakes. She was probably still working on decorating the second cake by the time he finished, focused intently on the task. ]

[Something he picks up on immediately. WHich is why he slowly puts down his almost cleaned bowls before tip toeing over and behind Lucy~]

[ It is an art all of a different kind! She must have been feeling creative because she's squeezing out little swirls around the border of the cake. So it'll look PRETTY! Because why not? She had all that icing, it had to be used up somehow. .. of course this means she doesn't notice a certain person sneaking up behind her. ]

[Well time to turn the tables as this time he hugs her from behind, his arms looping over her waist while making sure to not obstruct her arms]

[ She should have expected a little turnabout - instead she squeaked in surprise, spilling a little icing when she squeezed the tube a little harder than she intended. ]

Hyee! Natsu-!

[ Her protest wasted on a smile as she glanced over her shoulder. ]

You startled me..! [ And made her make a mess, bad dragon! .. well it wasn't much of a mess actually. Just a little icing and that came right up. ]

Eeexactly. He did nothing wrong. Just giving Lucy a bit of the same she gave him just moments prior.]

Well I wanted to see your art being made this time~

[He'd clean up that mess if shse asked. Then again it likely owuldn't take anything away from the taste.]
