[Video/Audio/Action]

[ So, the excitement is over for now, and Lucy -wishes- she could say it was a new experience for her, but no. She was in Fayren, having left a quick note for Erza and Natsu (or caught up with one or the other) on her way out of town to pick her way to a spot to train and see where she was compared to where she had been. But first.. ]

Now that that craziness is overwith- [ Seriously, what was that even about. . .? ]

Is anyone out there handy with construction, or remodeling? My friends and I are going to be in need of some help in that field soon. I'll be here in Fayren, doing some training if you need to reach -

[ She is interrupted by the sudden voice of another young woman, that startles her so much she actually drops her video phone so the following only processes through in audio format ]

"Is it punishment time, Princess?"

Virgo! No, cut it out already! I'm not doing that -!

[ The feed ends there aaand it's probably for the best that way. ]

[Natsu just laughs in response to Lucy's flailing. Still he wasn't going to use his full strength. After all if he used lightning flame dragon mode would be a bit overkill. He wanted to enjoy and keep things fair for Lucy. That wasn't to say he was going to let her win]

Here I come~

[And with that he dashes towards her, his posture low giving Lucy a smaller and faster target to hit.]

[ Juuuuuust a little overkill. But this was all for fun, so she was glad he wasn't going all out. Even if she didn't beat him, the training would be good for them both. ]

Get ready, Virgo..!

[ It was going to be tricky since her fighting style was so different from his. He liked to get in up close, while she preferred to keep her distance. As Natsu rushed forward, she hopped backwards, swinging her whip forward. Virgo moved along with Lucy, but rather than use her chains, she gestured with her hands, channeling the earth magic to cause a small one or two small pits to open in the Dragon Slayer's path. ]

[All for fun indeed. Just look at that big eager grin on his lips as he jumps over the first set of pitfalls.]

You're gonna have to do better than that!

[ That grin. Hoboy, it was hard not to get distracted by seeing it, but it was so obvious he was looking forward to it, she couldn't help but smile at it. Laughing as he easily avoided the pitfalls, she nodded once, her grin widening, unable to keep from teasing him. ]

We'll see how cocky you stay, Natsu~!

[ She hopped forward to bring herself a little closer to him, whip snapping outwards at his chest - Virgo on the other hand, was dropping to the ground, pressing her hands to the earth to summon rocks forth to converge on their speedy friend, to try and restrain him. ]

[He wasn't trying to distract her so if she lost her focus then that was all on her as far as he cared.]

Can't wait to see you try then~

[While he didn't get hit by the wip, the dodge took him straight into Virgo's erected barrier of earth.]

[ No distraction yet! So.. so far so good as far as her focus was concerned. But she couldn't help but laugh when he dodged right into the barrier. ]

Oho~ anything to say NOW?

[ She glanced at Virgo with a confident grin. ]

Good job, Virgo! Let's see him try and get out of -that-.

[Lucy forgot Natsu's ways of getting out of a jam. Overhwleming firepower. LITERALLY. The Barrier explodes violently as he rams a flaming first into the earth. ]

Yeah. I'd say I do.

Just as well - I was still thinking about what I was going to get anyway.

[ Everything Lucy was thinking of for his 'punishment' so far was hardly punishment. And.. weeeeeeeeeell, she didn't think that really would hold him long. And she was proven correct! Eeping when the barrier collapsed under Natsu's firepower, Lucy shifted her grip on her whip, tensing in case Natsu charged forward again. Virgo on the other hand, utilized the Diver ability to go beneath the ground, intending on coming up a short distance behind Natsu. ]

Oh? So what did you come up with so far?

[He says as he slowly circles around keeping his eye on Lucy. Which in hindsight is likely a mistake since Virgo vanished at some point.]

[ Lucy moved with him, keeping her distance but also taking care to try to keep him between herself and where she expected Virgo to (literally) pop up. ]

I thought about making you go without your scarf for a day, but.. that's too cruel.

[ Much too punishing. Even though Lucy would keep the scarf with her warm and safe (and with the added bonus of Lucyscent(tm)) ]

But I think making you get a nice soothing massage by Erza is a better idea.

[ Oh just look at that grin. There might be telltale of something afoot when about a foot or two behind Natsu the ground shifts, then breaks apart as Virgo pops up like a daisy, whipping her chains out to ensnare the dragon. Lucy moved at the same time to try to catch him in between them. Unless he dodges and they end up entangling themselves that is. ]

Y-Yeah that would be a bit too much.

[Though honestly there was no one else he'd trust with his scarf. And the bonus of Lucy scent was certainly tempting. But still he circled around some more keeping his eyes on Lucy.]

Are you trying to get me killed?

[Erza, massage. They don't match! Still he knows something is off. That grin. That grin and the rumbling under his feet. Wait under his feet?!]

Whoah!

[Just a split second but already there are flames under his feet and he prepares to blast himself out from between the two.]

If it helped, she probably wouldn't go through with making him go for a massage. She liked him in one piece. Still, the reaction was well worth the suggestion, and she laughed. ]

Well I was still thinking after all. [ Maybe she'd make him sleep in another room for a night instead of with her and Erza. ]

Ah! No you don't!

[ No escaping! She grins, lunging forward to try and catch a leg as Virgo emerged from the ground like something out of the night of the living dead. A collision is totally imminent with her spirit if he dodged them. ]

Well better think fast. You don't know when this might end.

[Sleeping in another room...that would likely be quite the punishment. What he didn't expect was Lucy trying to all out tackle him. Given she was lunging for his leg, Natsu had to stifle the flames so they don't burn Lucy. Which in turn ends up sending all three participants into a tumble of flailing limbs and bodies]

ACK!

[ For some reason she'd thought he'd dodge - a sudden dust cloud rose up from the impact, and when the dust settled, Virgo was sprawled across Lucy who had clung to Natsu's leg. She shrugged a little, momentarily dazed and rolling poor Virgo off of her back, scrambling to climb onto the Natsu for a pin, in order to capitalize on her luck. ]

Heh-heh! Give up?

[ That cockiness will be her undoing one of these days, but she's really terribly amused. Virgo WAS going to assist with restraining Natsu but she's going to enjoy the awkardness. It is like delicious pudding. ]

[Honestly if he wanted to escape truly, Lucy would've gone flying off by now. However this was sparring and she was his opponent this time. Even so he called out defiantly.]

Never! I can still....get out of this.

[Except not.]

[ Lucy was more than certain if he REALLY wanted to escape she wouldn't have been able to keep him from doing so. It's the difference from him going all out, and from them just enjoying a little light sparring. ANd frankly she was -glad- he wasn't going all out. ]

[ His defiance earned a grin again, unable to help but challenge him. ]

Ohoo? You can, huh? Prove it or surrender.

[Exactly. Though there was also the matter of the whole clinging to his leg like that]

I will. If you'd just stop clinging so tight to my leg.

[For reasons he'd rather not voice.]

[ Lucy quirked an eyebrow. ]

Why would -

[ Clinging. To his leg. ERM. Suddenly this felt extremely awkward - enough that she actually squeaks, recoiling from said leg in alarm. ]

U-um - sorry..! [ Wait. She just let him go. That was probably the oldest trick in the book. ]

[It probably was but he didn't use it on purpose. However he'd be a fool not to make use of such an opening. So he quickly scrambles away though there is a faint blush on his cheeks. Luckily it can be attributed to exertion. Hopefully.]

Guess I made it out~

[ Yeah. Exertion. Just like the pink on her cheeks from her own ..exertion. ]

Erm -- y.. yeah, I... yeah, you did.

[ THere's that elephant in the room coming for lunch plunking his fatass down at the table and demanding peanuts. Virgo, never one to pass up a chance to tease the people she cares about, typically pipes up at this point. ]

"She liiiiii-"

[ Is about as far as she gets before Lucy squeals and pounces the spirit to cover her mouth. ]

[Yep perfectly normal. Nothing odd totally no- And of course Virgo decided to pipe up.

He watches Lucy and her spirit trying to silence her teasing. A faint smile tugs at his lips before a familiar growl rumbles from his stomach.]

I guess we'll have to call it a draw this time. I'm starvin~

[ Lucy relents on Virgo at the sound of Natsu's stomach rumbling. She chuckles softly, getting to her feet. ]

A draw it is. [ Even though he'd have beaten her, easy. Food was more important though. And now that he mentioned it, she hadn't cooked here since they arrived. ]

Hey.. why we head back to the inn? I'll make us something to eat.

[To her credit she kept up admirably given the difference in power. However the moment he hears Lucy will cook it's pretty obvious who had his favor now and always.]

You're gonna cook? Really? Alright I can't wait!

[ She had him to thank for that. She grinned at his reaction, reaching to pull him to his feet. ]

Come on, the sooner we get there, the sooner we can eat. Barring the time it takes me to cook, anyway.

[ It was always nice to see how eager he got for something so simple as a Lucy-cooked meal! ]

[He gladly takes Lucy's hand and stands up however he doesn't let go. Not even as he pulls Lucy away from the lake.]

Can't wait! You comin, Virgo?

[Since of course he's not gonna chase the spirit off now.]
