Yanina was seated at a table with the girls. Lucy wanted her to get to know Cana, and they got along well. Cana was a beautiful card mage who could outdrink any old drunk, and that alone was admiring. Cana's card magic was a rare one, as Yanina hadn't met any card users in her time as a traveling mage.
"So you can do anything with your cards?" Yanina asked in amazement. Cana smirked, revealing the cards in her hands.
"When Lucy and I were in the S-Class trials, I made it so that pretty girls were seen on them to make Freed embolized," she smirked, making Lucy giggle at the memory. That had been a sight to see. "Otherwise I can use them for elemental magic, or make new cards for various other things. Mostly I use them to help the guild see what's to come."
"You can see into the future with the cards?" Yanina asked in surprise.
That comment made Cana's smirk fall a little bit. "Well not entirely. See, I can tell when bad things are going to happen. Or I can give people a little nudge in the right direction. I can't exactly see what is going to foretell, but I can tell by the cards about what kind of future will happen in that moment." She explained, making Yanina nod her head. She hadn't realized there was so many different magics. She knew that there was a lot that wasn't even revealed yet, but as for meeting different mages? That was amazing.
"And you?" Yanina turned to Levy, who looked surprised at being spoken to. "You're a script mage, right?"
Levy nodded her head. She revealed a pen from seemingly out of no-where. "Anything that I write can become a powerful spell. Well, kind of powerful. I've been training to make my spells do bigger things when I have time..." She trails off sheepishly.
Lucy smacks her friend who yelps. "Stop degrading yourself, Levy-chan! Her magic is super versatile, she can do a lot with it. Freed Justine, the green-haired mage up on the second floor is also a script mage but he specializes in runes." Lucy babbled, making Levy blush at the attention.
"Lu-chan!" Levy whined, looking like she wanted to sink into her chair. "Lu-chan's magic is super cool as well!" She added, sending a sly smirk to Lucy. "She can summon awesome spirits who are powerful, and she has such a great relationship with them. Loke says that's why they are so powerful to begin with!"
"Loke?" Yanina questioned, making Lucy blush a beat red. A bright golden light shimmered as a ding-dong sounded out. Everyone had to shield their eyes. When Yanina deemed it was safe she unshielded them to see a handsome ginger male standing near Lucy, wearing a nice black suit and had cat ears.
"That is me, pretty lady," Loke bowed as he took her hand, kissing the knuckles. Yanina blushed a deep crimson at his jovial personality as he stood up straighter. "Leo the Lion, at your service!"
"LOKE! FIGHT ME!" Natsu's voice blared from the fight making the lion sigh at being called.
"Well beautiful ladies, duties call!" He winked at Yanina who just blinked at his flirtatious nature, joining the fray.
"Sorry about him," Lucy sighed with a shake of her head. "He's a bit of a flirt." She gave Yanina a sympathetic smile, which meant that he did that to a lot of woman.
"It's no problem," she willed the blush to go away. "I'm not used to that attention is all." Yanina really didn't have a lot of time to just sit around and develop relationships. It wasn't like she was in a town for so long. Being a traveling mage she skipped town to town quite a few times. That didn't mean she wasn't a virgin. Oh no, she's had her fair share of one night stands. But in terms of long term relationships?
"Really?" Levy gasped, surprised. "But you're beautiful, how could you not have any relationships?"
That made Yanina blink at the question. "Because I traveled," she stated with a half shrug. "I didn't stay in one place for long. Where there was a job I went. My specialty is bandits, so I go after them where-ever the Plants take me."
"Ah we get a lot of those! Our guild takes a lot of monster quests, so you should get lucky with a few bandit ones." Levy concluded with a small smile. "Though Master always requests that new members take jobs with someone else so they get the gist of how things are done here." She informed the girl, making her nod her head. That made a lot of sense. While Yanina did jobs on her own plenty of times, it did make since that things would be a bit different with a guild.
"You could go on a job with Team Natsu!" Lucy suggested with a wide smile.
Levy frowned at that suggestion, though Cana just busted out laughing. "Yeah, unless you want a deduction on your pay!" She teased, making Lucy stick her tongue out at her. Cana turned towards Yanina with a determined gaze. "You can take one with me, I need the Jewel anyway. I'm sure we can find someone else to join us to make a group of three."
"I'll go!" Levy raised her hand, making everyone look at her. "I could use a job without the boys always vying for my attention..." she added sheepishly, making the girls laugh around her - though Yanina had no idea what was so funny so she didn't join in on the laughter. "My teammates are a little much sometimes. They both claim to have a crush on me, but I don't think that's the case." Levy rolled her eyes, shaking her head. "I think they just like pushing each others buttons. And mine." She added at the end with a chuckle.
"Or they could have a crush on you, Levy-chan," Lucy teased, laughing when Levy slapped her shoulder playfully. "In that case I can come with you three! I would love to get most of my portion for once..." the blond trailed off with a huff. "You also need a place to stay, don't you?" Lucy glanced over to Yanina curiously. Before she could say anything the blond spoke again, "you can stay with me for a bit! My place isn't big, but it's homey. Until you can find your place, I mean." She added sheepishly at the end.
"Oh," Yanina blinked, not having expected the offer. In a mere second she had gotten a team for her first job, and a roommate for a few days. This guild was something else. "I'd like that, thank you Lucy." The blond beamed in relief, only wanting to help. "Are you guys sure you want to do a bandit job though?" She asked in curiousity.
"Bandit job, you say?" A deep feminine voice spoke, making the girls jump. Titania herself stood there with a contemplated look on her face. "I can go for a bandit job," she concluded, adding herself onto the team.
"Girls squad!" Cana grinned in triumph, cackling. "We'll have to find a good bandit job though if the great Titania is coming with us."
Erza smirked at that, looking like she was ready for that news. "Leave it to me, I'll find something!" With that the red-head made her way towards the board with determination in her steps, knocking over mages who stood in her way.
"She's an S-Class mage," Levy explained, even though no one asked. "So she'll be able to find a good job for the five of us to go on." Yanina nodded her head, even though she could have found a good one on her own. This was her expertise, after all. However these mages were just trying to help. They wanted her to be welcomed in the guild, and she was thankful for that.
She was already itching to beat up a few bandits who didn't know any better than to pick a fight with some poor town folk.
Without a moment to spare Erza came back with a flyer. "Found something that might be doable for us," Erza placed the flyer on the table so that we could read it. Basically a group of bandits were terrorizing the city of Hargeon. It was a small town that didn't use a lot of magic.
"Hargeon, huh?" Lucy murmured as she read through the article. "That brings back a lot of memories," she chuckled fondly, shaking her head. "That was where Natsu found me," Lucy answered the unasked question when Yanina gave her a thoughtful look.
"It's been a while since I've been to Hargeon," Yanina admitted as she glanced over the job request again. "And this seems like a sustainable amount of jewel for the five of us." The listing was 100,000 jewel, which would give them each 20,000. That would be enough for her first job, and maybe start her savings so she can find a place of her own in Magnolia.
"Than it's settled!" Erza slammed the table, making the girls jump at the movement. "We're going to Hargeon. Mirajane, we're taking this job!" Erza called over to the barmaid, who nodded her head with a small smile on her face.
"We're going on a job?!" A familiar voice called out and suddenly Natsu was at the table, looking at the job that Erza placed. "Sweet, a bandit capturing job!" Without any hesitation Erza punched Natsu, sending him down on his ass. The girls erupted in fistfuls of laughter at seeing the dragon slayer on the ground, the Ice-Make mage joining in as well. He'd come over when he heard Erza yell towards Mirajane. "Ow, Erza! What the hell?!"
"You boys aren't coming!" Erza declared, making Natsu pout. "It's a girls only mission!"
"Besides," Lucy stated sweetly, though it wasn't the kind of sweet that was meant to be comforting. "We want the entire reward and well.. you boys tend to destroy things." Erza nodded her head stiffly, handing the flyer over to Yanina.
"But I want to go on a job with Nina!" Natsu whined, pouting even more. "I was going to ask her if she wanted to come with me!"
Gray scoffed at that. "Like she'd want to go on a job with you, flame-brain." And with that the two boys were arguing with each other again, putting each other into headlocks.
This was surely going to be an interesting job, Yanina thought with a smile on her face.
