[ Video / Action for Castmates ]

[ So the absolute nerve of attacking their guild aside, what may be a surprise to those who were there - and those who were responsible? The day after the battle, what damage done to the guild is restored to like it was never damaged. Strangely, there were no construction workers or people in the vicinity when it happenend. ]

[ Lucy was pacing her way through the guild, checking to see that everything was back to the way it was, before making her way up onto the roof and settling in outside there. ]

All right then. It looks like everything's back to normal - thank the spirits for that.

[ Even the little hut that Natsu had been building was untouched since the majority of the fight had been centered around the main building. She folded her legs beneath her in lotus position, proceeding to do just that - ah, but first..! ]

It's been a while huh? I've been away - [ And she hates the fact that she hadn't been near when the guild was attacked; though since she was with the kids it would be pardoned. ] -

for a bit, so how's about a little catchup on what's been going on outside of Fayren lately?

[ That said she ends the feed, closing her eyes to commune with the spirits that were kind enough to patch up the place. It wont' take long, feel free to drop a message her way. ]

[ OOC: I feel like it's been forever since I last posted something. Anyway, video catchall for any newfolks that arrived, and Video//Actiony catch all for castmates, new and old~~! ]

[That all sounds perfectly natural to him. HE also did think the two girls made an adorable match like that of mother and child.]

Well I'd be a shitty partner if I didn't~

[He still used that word just to keep her guessing which sense he meant when~]

[ And he succeeded in it - and the mystery drove her nuts. But she liked mysteries anyway. ]

Hrmm. 'Partner' huh?

[ Now, WHICH sense did he mean that in... it actually worked both ways. Sometimes she herself wondered how to refer to him. Partner? Boyfriend? L.. whoah let's not get ahead of ourselves here... she coughed, shaking her head a little. Honestly her brain was on hyperdrive today. ]

Is he asleep?

[ This from Justyne, who'd been watching Nev - who certainly did fall asleep on the way to the guild. D'aww. Lucy chuckled softly at the sight of the little boy. ]

You guys must have really worn yourselves out today -- here, I'll get the door.

[She liked mysteries and adventures. Things Natsu liked as well.

He did watch her after she mentioned that and even observed her mind go into those inevitable plains of possibility. When asked about Nev he listened briefly.]

Yup he's out like a light.

[He could tell from how peaceful and calm the boy's heartbeat was. After all it was so close to his keen ears.]

Must've been itching to get out and really go wild for a while now if you had all this energy stored up~

[ Justyne grinned sheepishly. ]

Yeah, kind of. Nev's always like that though. Before too. [ Before the snake ate their friends, that is. Which is telling enough, if he was able to go back to the way he was before. He was young enough to bounce back like that. Lucy couldn't help but wonder if the same was for Justyne though. It was something she'd have to ask Regine sometime. ]

You're not tired?

[ Justyne nodded after a moment. ]

A little, I guess. I want to stay up and read some though - can I?

[ Just in case Lucy fussed and made her go to bed. In fact, Lucy looked tempted to do just that - it wasn't HORRIBLY late, at least. ]

Weell... [ Lucy hedged a little. But oh no, Justyne's giving Natsu the puppy dog eyes. He'll change Lucy's mind, right? ]

[He didn't need her to elaborate. He still remembered the sorry state they'd found these two and that burning devastating rage he felt when that snake showed up. But that was in the past.

However He did see Justyne's eyes and he actually flinched a little. That look was so unfair.]

C-Come on Lucy. It it's not that late yet so she can stay up a bit longer right?

[ Oh Justyne's got him wrapped around her pinky almost as much as Lucy! When he starts to appeal for a later bedtime for the little girl, Lucy glances at him, shaking her head. ]

Natsu...!

[ Honestly! Talk about a sucker for puppy dog eyes. It was so cute though. ... She glanced at the smaller girl, a bemused smile playing across her lips. ]

All right, all right. One more hour, and then it's straight to bed, okay?

[ This appeases Justyne, and she nods eagerly. Woohoo, got the not-parents wrapped around her fingerrrr. ]

Okay, I promise. I wanted to finish reading a book in the library.

[ Well Lucy could hardly fault her that, right? How many nights has she stayed up late in the past reading? Or writing? She edged over to Natsu. ]

Go ahead and put Nev to bed, okay? I'm going to get Justyne settled in for the night.

Come onnn~

[Yep but there were worse people he could be wrapped around. He chuckled lightly when Lucy finally caved. He wasn't the only one rubbing off on these two as obvious from Justyne's newfound love for books.]

That's the plan. I'll see you two in a bit.

[And with that Natsu headed towards the room the two kids were using.]

[ Augh, when they were both chiming in like that it was hard to say no. Nevermind it was hard enough to say no to Natsu in anything. ... Wait, wasn't she supposed to be peeved at him for leaving her with that weird old guy? Dangit he got her again! ]

Okay then.

[ The one, and probably only, good thing about some of their friends going home, is that now Justyne and Neveren could have their own rooms. Of course, Erza's old room remained vacant - she didn't dare let someone else stay there in case she came back. ]

[ When he was finished putting Neveren to bed (and don't be the least bit surprised if the sleepy boy murmured a 'than's dad' in his sleep in the process), he would find Lucy in Justyne's room, tucking the little girl in. With Justyne holding a book in her hands, already engrossed in the story while Lucy made sure she was comfortable and warm. ]

[Victory!!! On all fronts too. No worries he still intended to appease his dear partner.]

[He tucked Nev into his bed but paused for a moment when he mumbled something that sounded oddly like...no that couldn't be. But the smile on his face was undeniable as he headed up to Justyne's room where Lucy was.

He didn't make a sound as he appeared in the door and put his finger to his lips behind Lucy's back for Justyne to keep quiet about him being there.]

[ Well good! In any case, she needed an early warning system for Natsu if he kept sneaking up on her like this. But Justyne, though she caught sight of Natsu from her vantage point, obediently said nothing, smiling as Lucy gave her a little hair ruffle, standing up from the bed. She highly doubted Justyne was going to manage staying awake for the entire hour, but she did promise. ]

[He erases his presence entirely and just leans against the doorframe watching the two interact with a faint smile tugging at his lips. He looks surprisingly at peace if anyone he knew were to come by at that time.]

[ He is like a ghost~!l Or might as well be, since Lucy doesn't notice him. In any case, once she's finished with Justyne, she stands up, backing away a step or two before turning to head for the door. She had expected Natsu to have tucked Nev in by now after all. Though she'll spot him, unless he's ducked out of sight or something before she turns. ]

[He sees no reason to hide himself so he'll be right there leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed over his chest and the same faint smile on his lips.]

[ She stops in surprise when she sees him leaning there, and that smile - just that smile. She could stare at it forever. Bu that would be weird, so she quietly shoos him out of the room, closing the door behind her. She can't help but inquire though, nudging him affectionately. ]

What are you so smiley about?

[That smile is there to stay even as she shoos him out of the room. He joins his hands behind his head as he walks with Lucy down the hallway.]

Just you and Justyne. Watching the two of you is just...warm and right.

[ Lucy grins, though she blushes faintly. ] ... well I could say the same thing about you and Neveren. You're always so good with kids, and he obviously idolizes you.

[ It was touching watching them. ]

It's a shame they were so tired out today - there's going to be a star shower tonight. [ She'd wanted them to see it - but there will be another one. But it was the first one -here- in as long as she's been here. ]

Heh what can I say they've got good taste~ Though Justyne is definitely getting your love for books~

[He's not taking ALL of the praise. Just most.]

Woah really? We should head up to the rooftop then!

[ Snerk. Figures he'd respond that way - well she didn't expect anything less. ]

Yeah, she's really be interested in a lot of the stories I wrote about, our adventures back home.

[ Brightening at the suggestion of going to the rooftop, she nodded. ]

Let me just get a light blanket or something. It's starting to get chilly out there at night.

[ Wait, sitting next to him she oughta be plenty warm actually. ]

Heee so you let her read your novel did you~?

[Totally teasing her about that since she always made such a huge fuss about it. He does raise an eyebrow hearing talk of getting a blanket.]

Huh? Why would you need that when I can keep us both warm?

[ She made a face at him. ]

I let her read one of them, yeah. One of the fictional ones I wrote. [ Hiding a grin, she added. ]

About a dragon protecting his treasure from a greedy treasure hunter.

[ Natsu's point is a good one though, and she paused. ]

Ah... that is right. Okay then, no blanket.

[ So instead of making a detour to her room, she kept on towards the balcony so she could climb the ladder to the roof. Natsu though, he probably doesn't even need ladders. Pff.]

[He just laughed right back at that funny look]

Hee something tells me she didn't even have to ask you too many times before you let her.

[Since this is Lucy after all, a coy smirk played on his lips hearing the contents of the story.]

Ohoho A dragon huh~?

[No Natsu didn't really need the ladder but he still climbed up with Lucy. Right after her to be precise.]

[ He'd better not be looking up her skirt! Naughty dragon! Ahem. Not that she'd think he'd do something like that anyway - but he has ways of surprising her nonetheless. ]

Hee hee, you'd be right. She's so cute, it's hard to tell her no. Like someone else I know.

[ Reaching the roof, she held her arms out for balance, picking her way up the slope carefully - thank god it hadn't rained recently, it would be slippery. And wet. A few steps in she found an appropriate spot and made herself comfortable, glancing towards him -- agh, oh god that smirk. She stifled a chuckle, nodding instead. ]

Well, I hear they're fascinating creatures, you know. I thought it'd be interesting to have a dragon as the main character for a change.

[ Oh so casual. ]

[Not like it'd be the first time he saw such sights. Remember that one time they were cleaning up the library with Erza and Gray?]

Boy I wonder who that could be.

[He totally knew but that didn't mean he was gonna admit to it. As soon as they made it up on the roof the stretched his arms up a little while Lucy found her spot.]

Heeee that's a new take. Usually you see dragons as the big bads the stupid knights somehow beat.

[Honest opinion here so he might have a bit of a bias so what? That being said Natsu quickly found his own spot of comfort. Right behind Lucy of course. It allowed him to put his arms around her and share some of that natural body heat.]

[ Yes, and she'd fuss just as much. Well.. maybe a LITTLE less than before. Just a bit. ]

As if you didn't know.

[ So transparent. She grinned, resting her hands on either side of her, shifting only when he took up his spot behind her. One of her favorite spots for him to be, since it kept him close and she could feel his arms around her. She relaxed, her smile warming. ]

Well.. I may be a little biased against those kinds of stories - knights and such.

[Fuss was fun for him regardless.]

Maybe I do maybe I don't~

[The grin mirrored her own and he snuggled up close to Lucy's back, tucking his chin on top of her shoulder with a content sigh.]

Heh a little bias never hurt~ Though it's the truth. A dragon wouldn't lose to something that puny.

[After all Igneel apparently can nuke even better than the dragon of apocalypse himself.]
