He stood there staring down at another city practically in ashes. Not even bothering to ask who the culprits were, Lahar pinched the bridge of his nose. It was obvious, just from the fact that over half of the buildings were in ashes. And if he wasn't mistaken, in a few places that shimmered were ice. Groaning he wanted to just to be done with it. That guild was like poison. And it would be the death of him if he was not careful.
Plastering a small, grim smile on his lips as he spun in place, shooting his partner a look, Lahar marched away. The parlor of Mest's face told him that he knew where they'd be heading. Making a dark, almost sadistic glee dance in Lahar's chest. It had been a few months now that his partner was not happy at going to the guild to see the small Wind Dragon Slayer, Wendy Marvell. Who just glared at him each visit because of their nature.
Though, if he was going, to be honest with himself, Lahar enjoyed going cause he got to see, her. The look in those honey brown eyes as she glared holes into his person as he ripped into and threatened her overly destructive teammates. It was a thrill and a half. It made him want to see if he could get the blond to snap and spew venom at him. Because he was well aware of how articulate she could be, even if it was vulgar and unseemly of someone of her former station in life.
Sighing as he felt the world shift around him as Mest used his direct line magic to take them to Fairy Tail. Once the world righted itself, he brushed the front of his uniform out and flipped his cape over his shoulder and marched to the door of the guild, pausing as he heard a voice go shrill. The words that were being said at those decibels caused his ears to ring. Apparently, the blond was having her say before they arrived. Placing a hand on the swinging doors, Lahar paused as his eyes went wide.
"I cannot believe you two. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!? Wait I know what you were thinking,"
"Luce... you need to..." Natsu said when it went silent.
"Do. What. Natsu. Dragneel? Calm down!? OH no... I will not. THERE WAS NO CALL FOR WHAT HAPPENED!"
Lahar was not sure it was possible for her voice to go any higher without magic, but it did. Soon there was the sound of a crash followed by a pained groan. Making his body instinctively go into action. Pushing the doors open and stepping it, he saw Lucy standing there with one leg still in the air, one Gray Fullbuster sitting In a kneeling position unmoving and rather purple-faced, looking in the direction Lucy's leg was pointing.
Following it, Lahar couldn't even stop himself as he gave a low whistle. There was Natsu Dragneel, one of the strongest mages in Fairy and all of Fiore's headfirst through a wall and dangling limply. Looking back to Lucy, he saw her looking at him, eyes wide as her leg dropped to the ground, a faint flush on her face before she dropped her eyes.
"Before I start in on the how and whys. Care to explain why half a town was raised to the ground?" he asked, keeping his voice low as he watched how Lucy suddenly stiffened and Gray Fullbuster flinched back away from her as her head turned ever so slightly to look at him.
In that moment Lahar began to rethink who was the more dangerous and destructive person on Team Natsu as Lucy growled and threw her hands up in the air, a sigh of defeat coming from her lips.
"Because of me! These idiots... destroyed half of that little town because of me. So, if you have to arrest someone, you Captain Lahar will take me. Because if you don't, I am sure to murder two idiots, whom I love dearly," came her low rumbling reply. "Because apparently, I am a corrupting, bad influence on them."
Stunned he couldn't help but just blink at the girl, no woman, before him.
"Lucy, I think that is an exaggeration. A gross one," Gray said, only to shrink before Lahars eyes as Lucy spun on him.
"Really? Because all that guy did was to flirt with me. Then you and Natsu had to just attack him," She growled before spinning around and marched toward Mest and himself.
Thrusting her wrist out, the look in her eyes said that she would not be denied. And he wouldn't waste this opportunity. So, a smile firmly in place as he whipped out his magic canceling cuffs and slapped them on her. This was going to make a rather interesting report once he had her testimony taken down. Maybe after he could see about talking to her privately.
