genessia | 3rd Lure [Audio]

[In all of the excitement and chaos, Ryu really didn't have a chance to slow down. More importantly it was clear something was weighing heavily upon him. The fact people saw him, even if he was trying to help them... He doesn't want to risk something like back home happening here. So Ryu has temporarily retreated back to Fayren with most of the danger over while trying to figure out his next move. For all he knew, he was worried about nothing. But he certainly wasn't sure if Nonon could be trusted, and she most likely would have revealed the secret to Satsuki.

There was also Lucy to worry about. He knows she'll be asking sooner or later, but... With her friend Natsu, perhaps she'll be more understanding than most about who and what he actually is. Either way, he wants to know his friends are okay. Especially Vyers, after the condition he was in. There was still their little conversation to be held. It's here Ryu might be found a distance away from his camp, near Fairy Tail in hopes of finding Lucy.]

[PRIVATE TO LUCY HEARTFILIA]
Lucy? It's Ryu. I need to talk to you, preferably somewhere private and in person. The sooner the better.

[PRIVATE TO VYERS]
How's your body holding up? Can you do anything about regrowing your wings?

[The rest of his message is open to the public.]

I hope you're all recovering well in light of recent events. Please don't hesitate to call if you need any sort of medical attention. I may not be a doctor, but my magic can help you recover quickly.

[The poor boy honestly seems kind of stiff in his message. It's a little clear something is bothering him, but he'll likely chalk it up to the fact that Lucifer was still out there and free to do this all over again. Sure he's scared of being outed for what he is, but the fact that there's been nary a sound out of Lucifer worries him even more.]

And to the girl I met during the fire who could fly, I think you and I have a few things to discuss. On neutral ground, if you don't mind.

[It's not like he can make this private, since Nonon never made her identity clear.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[He clenches his fist and the flames focus into his fist with such intensity it makes the air swirl around him.]

This is a Dragon Slayer's ultimate form. IT's called Dragon Force. So far I haven't been able to go into this state on my own. I always need a fire of great magical power.

[ Lucy watched Natsu with a bit of fond amusement, before glancing toward Ryu again. ]

You mean the ones with the other elements? How many other forms can you change into?

There are so many elemental variations to consider, and there's still Kaiser being the most powerful of them all. I have dozens of transformations I can call on.

Sounds like spars with you would never get boring~

[Natsu laughs and takes a few steps back.]

I'm gonna have to spend this energy somehow though. Might as well go for flashy~

[ Pfff, why is she not surprised that he'd say that. ] Well... I think I'd have to agree, a sparring match between the two of you would be pretty interesting. .. if not destructive.

You might want to step back too, Ryu. Natsu's flashy is... [ ... hm. You know she doens't really have an appropriate word for the awesomeness of Natsu's flashy magic. She just hoped he didn't overdo it. ]

In any case, [ giving ol' Natsu there pleeeeeeeeeeeeeenty of room. ] What element does your Kaiser dragon form use?

To tell you the truth, none. And it's a form I hesitate using, given what I had to use it for last time.

[He glances over to Natsu with a frown.]

It was my duty as Prince of Dragons to kill the Goddess who almost wiped my entire race out. Kaiser allowed me to stand up to her.

[Flashy and simple was the name of the game. He could have used a more demanding technique but this was the one most easy to focus in a safe direction. So he breathed in deeply and faced the heavens before letting out a huge beam of dragon fire into the sky as he roared. Many apologies to the poor neighbors.]

Then we won't ask you to demonstrate it - neither of us would want you to feel uncomfortable here.

[ Trailing off, she turned to watch Natsu - she always loved watching his techniques, even if they were flashy and destructive. Poor Neighbors were probably going to panic at the flames in the sky. Then realize it came from the direction of the guild and decide to go about their business like normal. ]

[He smiles a little, he's certainly glad Lucy is so understanding.]

It's less feeling uncomfortable, and more just using that power with purpose. Elder Jono gave his life so that I could inherit it, and that was to challenge the Goddess. I feel it would dishonor him if I used it without purpose.

[The technique lasted longer than usual but at the end Natsu was pretty much back to normal. WHich said something since the previous instances had left him quite drained.]

Phew. I'm pretty sure I let out most of it but i still feel all fired up.

He'd be right. And that's even more reason for you not to demonstrate it.

[ She glanced at Natsu, laughing. ]

You're kidding. After all of that? Ryu's fire really must pack a punch.

[ Speaking of punch..! ]

Oh, where are my manners? Do you want me to grab anything to drink? You've been here a while - [ And they've been chatting a lot. She's kinda dry mouthed. ]

If I have anything to say about it, I'd prefer not using it at all.

[Though when Lucy mentions it, he does feel a bit thirsty.]

Apple Cider if you have it. I haven't had any in months.

It really does. Really tasty too. Nice strong flavor.

[Probably not every day Ryu gets his flames described as flavors.]

Oh if you're gonna go in and get something get me the usual too. Could use a drink.

[ Lucy -still- didn't know how he could describe fire as having a 'Flavor' but then again, she wasn't a dragon. Or a dragon slayer. She chuckled softly at that, glancing at the two. ]

Okay, no problem. I'll be right back - Natsu, behave yourself.

[ That is, don't immediately challenge him to a sparring match and then wreck the place... please. ]
