Chapter 8.

**Bixlow's POV**

She just agreed with me. Instantly. Guess she really wants to be near tree. I shook my head and remembered Gildarts advice.

Be nice.

Take her to forests.

Pry and make her talk.

Help her with her problem.

What the hell did he mean by that? She seemed fine to me. Damn fine.

˝What are you staring at? ˝ - she interrupted my thoughts about her nice curved body.

˝I uhh nothing...say let's play a game˝ - she looked at me curious and shrugged ˝It'a s bit of a walk to the forest.˝

Another shrug. Doesn't she care at all?

˝So shoot..˝ - she says after a few moments of silence. Shoot ? Oh yeah.

˝I'll say two things and you're choose the one you like better, sounds good?˝ - a nod. Really talkative today, eh?

Well I'll have to change that.

˝Souuu night or day?˝ - I started casually and ordered my babies to be still. She won't play if they keep repeating my words.

˝Night˝ - was all she said. Damn this was she won't elaborate a damn thing! But it's something, right?

˝Okay bath or shower?˝

˝Bath˝- Interesting

˝Cuddling or sex ?˝ - maybe I can get under he skin this way or just shock her.

˝Both˝ - she replied in a calm voice like it wasn't a big deal. My eyes popped under my visor. Did she just sat both?

˝Didn't think you'd answer this one˝ - I confessed and watched her face as we walked. Even my babies hung lower around my head.

All of the sudden she started laughing. It grinned, it was a nice laugh. Genuine and free.

˝What's so funny Ria?˝

˝Ahaha you think I wouldn't answer that one huh? You people assume too much about me.˝ - she explained mysteriously and grinned back.

I lolled my tongue ˝So you're a naughty one, aren't ya?˝ - I threw a bait

˝Find out˝- she winked and bit my bait.

Grinning madly I slapped her butt ˝Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?˝

Her eyes narrowed and she smirked ˝You saw what I did to Laxus I won't go easy on you, Bixloow˝

˝Didn't exepect it doll face˝- I stopped and stood facing her ˝Babies! Baryon formation!˝- no need to start this easily, she won't, that's for sure.

She grinned back and rose her arms ˝Seven spells of the Dragon art : Ashen wind˝

˝Now babies!˝ - The dolls start spinning in a pentagonal pattern and release a beam of energy. Thorianna is just waiting.

The energy beam gets her and dissolves.

Both stand there, one with a gaping mouth the other grinning.

˝What did you just?˝ - What the hell?

˝I just dissolved your beam Bixlow, now will you behave?˝ - she asks still smirking.

˝Yes m'am! Shall we continue in the forest?˝ - I point to the forest in front of us. She nods and starts talking.

Just how powerful is that girl? I have never seen such a technique by a Dragon Slayer. She must be the most powerful of all of them in the guild.

And she just dissolved my beam without attacking, does that mean she didn't want to hurt me or?

Grinning I jog to her and my babies follow still hanging low.

˝Ria my babies are depressed!˝

She turns her head to me ˝What do you want me to kiss them?˝

I stop and stare, why not? ˝Yeah you hurt their feelings!˝

She rolls her eyes but lifts her hands ˝Come here all of you˝ - she calls to my babies which respond to her immediately. Weird.

Then she proceedes to give them a gentle kiss.

If only she knew I could feel that. She kissed them really gently and with care. I felt my cheeks redden and I smiled. She can be gentle, eh?

I knew this tough act is just a façade. There's more to this girl and I want to find it out.

˝There all done, better now?˝ - My babies fly high above here head and chant ˝˝Kiss! Ria! Ria!˝

She laughs at them and enters the forest. I though of Porlyusica. She might like Thorianna and show her around.

I'm sure those two loners would hit it off well.

˝Follow me I want you to met a special person˝ - I mention her to follow me to the house in the tree. She might like that.

˝A person in the forest?˝ - she questions.

˝Yeah our Doc so to say, she lives her alone and hates humans.˝- I snicker and watch her grin.

˝Well be friends then˝ - she smirks.

Strange one indeed.

We arrive in front of her house and I stop dead in my tracks. The frond door is demolished, her plants all over the place and windows busted open.

I run in and find the place a mess, every cupboard every item strewn and broken. There was a fight.

˝ Porlyusica! Are you in here! Porlyusica!˝ - I yell and move the furniture

˝Babies! Scatter around and comb the vicinity for Porlyusica!˝ - I watch as they fly off and Thorianna enters.

˝What happened here?!˝

˝I wish I knew...˝
