Note: Takes place during te Tenrou Island Arc, when Lucy and co. are gone for 7 years. First entry into the Fairy Tail section, I hope I got his personality right! w
He refrained from gnashing his sharp molars together. The celestial spirit was figuratively drowning in worry. It had been three months since he had last been summoned at Tenrou Island, and he couldn't open the gate to appear at her location. Aries, Capricorn and Virgo all tried to console him, but to no avail. He had a horrible, uneasy feeling in his stomach. A feeling that she was in trouble, but he shook it off. Gray, Natsu, Erza, Mirajane, Master Makarov and the rest of the S-Class candidates were with her. He knew that, at least, Gray, Natsu and Erza would protect her and keep her safe. He hoped.

And now three years. He felt like a stray cat, struggling to survive. Still no trace of Lucy. It was almost as if Tenrou Island didn't exist anymore, wiped off the face of the earth. And yet, somehow, he knew that she was still alive. The rest of the celestial spirits were worried, he knew that, but none as much as him. His loyalty was roaring at him to look for her already, it was almost crying. Lucy was the first one who had spoke that she needed him. The lion fidgeted and desperately, he hoped that Lucy was okay.

Behind azure-tinted glasses, his dark eyes locked onto a bleak yet regal slab marking the tomb of someone once dear (and still dear) to him. He gave a grim, almost remorseful smile, and sat down cross-legged in front of it. The spirit mumbled softly to the grave.
"Six years... Karen. I'm worried," he whispered.
After a few minutes of utter, cold silence, he laughed bitterly, "Look at me. The strongest of the ecliptic zodiac keys, sniveling in front of you..."
He was seeking solace in someone who wasn't alive to do so.
