Chapter 3

Gajeel pov

Cana decided to for whatever reason that the basement was the best area to have this 'private' conversation. However the noise from above told him it wasn't by a longshot.

Gajeel: "What makes you think the basement is private drunkard?"

Cana: "Can't you sense the runes in here?"

Gajeel: "Ehhh?"

I looked around and felt a trace of something but I still didn't like having this conversation here. I'd rather have this conversation in Makarov's office.

Cana: "Freed put runes down here so he and Mira could have some private time if yah know what I mean… "

When Cana's wink apparently didn't have the intended effect I tapped my nose to explain my source.

Gajeel: "I already knew that they were together in the sack but what's that got to do with anything"

Cana: "Apparently she's a screamer and they didn't want anybody hearing, hence the runes."

Gajeel: "Uhhhhggg ….you gonna explain what this is about yet?"

I crossed my arms and leaned back.

Cana: "I saw you and baby blue walkin in today… you make any progress in your feelins about her?"

I looked toward the floor at my left. The buzz of ambient noise covered up what I wanted to hear. Her laughter. Her heartbeat. I thought about what alberona said and honestly I sucked at this type of shit.

Gajeel: "I haven't … I gave her the usual smirnoff after the shit that happened this mornin but…"

Cana: "Usual smirnoff? haha! Gajeel that shit you pull off is golden. Annnyyy other guy and I mean any would've made a move before always having his girl's drinks stocked in the fridge… " then she started giggling hysterically.

Gajeel: "WHAT THE HELL IT AIN'T FUNNY DAMMIT!"

I slammed my fist as I yelled but despite my outburst none of the noise upstairs changed in the slightest but the runes maintaining the silence they probably heard up there glowed. She was right they couldn't hear us.

Cana: "Gajeel what isn't funny is how she's gonna get tired of this one day... She thinks you see her as a friend only and she likes you way more than that I guarantee it "

Gajeel: "Oi Alberona it ain't that simple…"

Her smile stopped me mid-sentence.

Cana: " Either way gajeel that's not all I wanted to talk about"

Gajeel: "Whatcha mean drunkard?"

Cana: "This mornin I had a conversation with Carla about the future and she thinks it changed suddenly, I checked and sure enough it's different than it was supposed ta be."

Gajeel: "How?"

Cana: "That girl showin up was a fluke but accordin to my cards it's a good thing. However there's another problem… be careful around Ivan. The cards say he's found somethin powerful. Whatever it is it's just as powerful as Varana."

Gajeel: "Varana?"

Cana: "The girl from this mornin's name is Varana but she likes bein called Rana. Wendy says she's blind but definitely strong, like 'S' class strong."

Gajeel: "So? Why yah tellin me this? It doesn't matter to me."

Cana: " My cards say she can help you… I don't know how but she can. When she's healed ask for her assistance."
