Who: Lucy and Natsu (and later Wendy)
When: Backdated like WOA, 3/30/14
Where: Fairy Haven, the most happenin' guild on Earth!
What: Evil things. They.. they're just. Evil. So evil I can't even talk about it.

It's been a busy, busy few days at the new Guild lately! Finally dealing with the witch that had been causing trouble for their newly adopted members, not to mention Erza getting injured - not that it seemed to slow her down that much.

Still! To come up with a cure for the poison in Erza's system, Regina needed a special herb, which Lucy had offered to collect. Something simple and boring, she could get it and trot back before anyone even knew she'd gone anywhere. No harm right?

On her return, Regina had immediately busied herself out in the courtyard with mixing an antidote (sorry it kinda stinks out there right now). As for Lucy? Lucy was up in her room ~~plotting evil~~ modeling her latest acquisition. ... what, a girl can't go shopping?

Terrible wouldn't be the word he'd use. But they still had the better part of the day ahead of them. So they would definitely have to part. Parting did not involve her leaning into him like that though she quickly recovered. Phew. Must have been having a bit of a relapse but she snapped out of it.

"In her room. Uhhh yeah I think I felt her scent from behind the door before I met up with you. I'll...wait outside the door for ya." Though she still had to GET up so he could stand up as well.

Yes. Relapse. We'll go with that.

In any case, she quickly vacated his lap, wishing she'd kept the cape on. At least then she could cover herself better. She mentally cringed at the movement, blushing fiercely, but she nodded when he said he'd wait outside the door.

It was tempting to insist he stay put until she was decently dressed and THEN come up though. "Erm.. right." Right, right. She turned and quickly trotted out of the room, pausing only for a second when she reached the stairs to look at him. "... L..Look away, all right?"

Not that he hasn't already gotten plenty of eyefulls at this point anyway but STILL. It's different now. Now she's rational! kinda. And heading upstairs to get to her room kthanks. Let's..just hope she doesn't run into anyone before then.

He might have spared a glance longer than he should have but he quickly turned around when she asked him to look away.

"Y-Yeah just yell if you need help with anything." Probably wrong thing to say right now but he was already quickly making his way out the door before she could spaz out at him properly.

Good thing he was out the door after saying something like that! Even though he probably wasn't thinking too clearly, it didn't stop her from spazzing. So the door was closing behind him rather quickly, on her "WHat the hEll Natsu!"

Followed by grumbles of "Jeez! I can get out of my clothes just fine without his help. ... oh lord." She..just is going to stop saying things. Whatever had affected her might well still be in her system, ... maybe it'd be a good idea to stay away from him for the rest of the day after Wendy checked her hand.

Just to be safe!

He heard her yell but for some reason couldn't help but smirk a little as he leaned against the wall crossing his arms and waiting for his partner to come back out. Noisy weird Lucy was best after all.

So he waited, trying to filter out the intruding thoughts that came to him whenever he would think about what had almost happened.

Denial is on the menu for dessert today, and Lucy was doing her best to try and pretend what almost happened didn't happen. Not being very successful at it either, but.. well, one thing at a time. Once she changed out of THAT outfit and into one of her usual ones she gathered her courage, took a breath and... stepped back out into the hall.

At least Wendy's room wasn't far from here. "Okay, let's go." The sooner she checked Lucy's hand the better!

Isn't that on the menu all the time? Oh well. By the time Lucy came out he'd managed to compartmentalize his thoughts away from what had just happened. So he greeted Lucy with his trademark grin and nodded before joining up by her side.

"You remember how you got that wound on your hand?" he asked as they walked down the corridor towards Wendy's room.

Yes! And because Lucy's been making a pig of herself on it it's pretty much in short supply at this point. Tsk tsk, too bad. Only not really.

Seeing that trademark grin was always reassuring, though she still felt a teeny bit awkward. Taking care to keep an arm's length of space between them as they walked, Lucy glanced at her hand again, resisting the urge to scratch it. "I don't remember it having quite that reaction - or feeling that thorn at all, actually. I was reaching into a bush, and I felt some of the bramble graze my skin, but I didn't think anything of it at first." She'd just washed her hands and covered it up to keep the dirt out.

Natsu's been dining on confusion more than denial. This whole feelings beyond friendship thing was really damn labyrinthine. The urges didn't help either.

He noticed she was keeping a bit of a distance between himself and her and while he wasn't all that fond of it, he respected it this time.

"Hmmm. Well this place has a lot of magic creatures and plants so something that'd affect you like it did isn't that hard to imagine. Wendy should be able to fix you up though. Nothing beats her healing."

Confusion and denial can't possibly be health for them as three course meals. But it's a good point. Urges reaaaaally didn't help. Lucy nodded in agreement, sheepishly, "Yeah, after all it's.." Not like she'd -wanted-... okay that's an outright lie. She hadn't minded it - but the fact that it had been caused by a plant and not because she wanted to was bothersome.

He'd probably think she was affected by the same plant if she did it again -- wait what?

"She really has brilliant timing, like you." She quipped lightly. "Still I'm glad we got here before her. Whatever she went through before coming here - I'd hate to think of her being in this place alone." She might think she was dead.

He'd certainly feel torn about that uncertainty but luckily she couldn't transmit those doubts to him and neither could he read Lucy's mind.

"Yeah she does. Only hope Charle had managed to come with her though. Wendy must be really hurting about that."

Wendy was, but she couldn't help but feel reassured by her guild mates because Natsu and Gajeel were without their Exceeds. She tried her best to get past not being able to see Charle for a while. Speaking of which, the younger Dragon Slayer spotted Lucy and Natsu walking towards her room as she was leaving it. Speaking of the devil aren't we?

She smiles as she greets the two of them, "Natsu-san, Lucy-san, hello."

She had to do her best to remain cheerful for her friends because they're all suffering internally in their own way. Wendy knew this. She was going to work hard to make sure that she wouldn't burden them.

Lucy was about to bring up the point that Natsu must miss his partner too, but before she could say anything, Wendy was stepping out of her room.

"Ah, Wendy! We were just coming to see you." A distraction must be had, so Wendy wouldn't think back on her own missing kitty. She was working hard to stay cheerful too.

Yeah Natsu did miss Happy but there could be times he could go without his partner. However Wendy had grown up with Carla from an even younger age. That kind of bond hurts even more.

However he quickly put up a happy grin hearing Wendy's voice from up ahead.

"Hey Wendy! Lucy needs your help with something."

"Oh hello Natsu-san-- what can I do for you, Lucy-san?"

She msued as she noticed the two of them were indeed searching for her since they didn't usually come up here. Wendy also spent some of her time in the common room, rather in her own bedroom. She was slowly getting used to this but things are still a bit complicated for her.

True! Occasionally Lucy would be in the common room too, but a lot of the time she'd be in her room writing, or hanging out with Natsu (more often than not the latter, actually). "It's just a little thing, and it's probably nothing, but ...we wanted you to just take a look at this scratch I got. Apparently the bush had some magical properties and..." It made her act weird. Or... not so much weird, but... she's not going to mention that. "I just want to make sure there isn't any trace of it - Natsu pulled a thorn out of my palm."
