Takachi entered the city, eyes peeled for cool fights and even cooler wizards. 'The guild hall should be in this direction.' She thought while she wandered the city, totally lost.
It was a bit later when she bumped into someone, an awkward thing to do in itself. However, she didn't bump into just anyone. She bumped into The Titania Erza, ultra famous and ultra powerful wizard.
'Who could be aware of her association with mercenaries, and has a small chance of having seen your face when you were looming over someone you beat up', an oldman at that. 'Don't freak out, and don't be weird. This person might want to kill you, she probably does. I should apologize.' Takachi's head was all over the place.
" I'm, um, sorry Miss Titania, uh Erza" Takachi said. 'Shoot she definitely hates me already.' "ma' am?" 'Did that help?' No, she just looks really confused now. "For um, bumping into you." 'It's just getting worse, what should I do?' Takachi thinks 'She still looks confused, I might be able to get away if I run.' And so Takachi turned tail and ran for her life.
'Dang, I hope she doesn't remember that.' Takachi thought while walking next to the sort-of-river that ran through parts of magnolia. She's a little down in the dumps, thinking that someone she looked up to as a kid might hate her now.
Lucky for Takachi, the revered wizard was just confused, very confused. Once Takachi was finally in sight of the guild, which was utterly wrecked. She got closer to the building and peeked at the mess of giant metal cylinders distorting the guild hall. Takachi can't help but think it looks sick (in a cool way).
She lifts her camera from around her neck and takes a few pictures before walking in the opposite direction. She has time for some sightseeing, which consists of stopping at the nearest bakery and grabbing a cinnamon roll. Said cinnamon roll was supreme.
She still hasn't found her way out yet, but she's comforted by the fact that she's already bumped into an ultra epic wizard and made a horrible impression. She'd be hard pressed to mess up worse than that. Really, she was just focusing on finding her way to the south western entrance.
That's when Takachi runs into someone again, emphasis on the again. This time Takachi's really knocked off course. It doesn't help that when she looks up she's met with an even more confused Erza Scarlet, who's barely affected by the collision.
So of course it's even more confusing when the person she bumped into pulls themself off the ground and apologizes. "I'm uh Really sorry, Miss Titania, ma' am" Takachi apologizes, feeling even more awkward.
"Do I know you?" Utterly confused, but to Takachi it sounds like more of a"I know you're that evil criminal scared off, who's managing to avoid prison." In a very threatening manner and reminisce of a pirate.
"No, No you um you don't." Takachi's talking fast, trying to avoid the beatdown of a lifetime since Erza Scarlet obviously outclassed Takachi in terms of magic. " I'm uh Takachi L-" 'I shouldn't tell her my last name, in case she comes after me in the name of the law.' " and I'm not a convict." 'Shoot I shouldn't have said that, it sounds suspicious.'
"Are you lost?" A great icebreaker.
"N-well I uh am actually. Do you know where the um, south west entrance is?" 'Dang why did she have to ask something reasonable, my chance to escape is dwindling'
"It's that way." The iron giant or knight in this case said, pointing in some random but accurate direction. That was all the motivation Takachi needed to escape the face of (un)certain death. So she took off, walking of course. Sprinting would be suspicious. She only started sprinting when she was no longer in the titan's line of sight.

"How was your day?" Takachi's grandpa asked.
"It was awesome, I made two freinds. " Takachi said, reflecting on her day. "I never realised how scary knights were though."
"How come" her grandpa asked.
"Guess I've just never thought about how their uh, whole protecting good and purging evil thing applies to real life. Cause uh, you know, what if the cool heroic knights are after you because they realize that you're, for whatever reason, a horrible person. You just don't know it yet." Takachi said, deep in thought.
"You're not going to turn out like them, you know that right?" her grandpa asked.
"...Yeah, I know"
