Lucy smiles at everyone as she watches they all rough house with each other. Grumpy said they were fighting but Lucy knew better. There was no bloodlust, no anger, they were simply having a good time. She didn't see a problem. Her favorite to watch fight is Natsu. She giggles as she watches Natsu beat up Grey and Juvia try to attempt avenging him but Natsu's fire is too strong for the Water Mage. Happy is trying to impress a white exceed but it looks like she doesn't want the fish. Especially since it looks like she keeps looking at Grumpy with interest. Poor Happy.
"Here you go Lucy!" Mira cheers as she hands Lucy a drink. Lucy raises an eyebrow. "I didn't order anything."
"Well it's no fun just watching everyone so I thought this would encourage you to get over that shyness of yours and have fun!" Mira smiles.
"But I have no experience in holding back. If I go over and fight I'll kill them." Lucy explains. Mira's smile drops. She didn't think about that. She just assumed she was shy!
"She's not being shy. She's protecting all of you from herself." Grump growls as she pushes the beer back. "Get her a strawberry milkshake. They're her favorite."
Mira quickly grabs the cup and rushes into the kitchen. Lucy giggles as she runs Grumpy's ear in gratitude. Grumpy is very good in taking charge when it comes to social things. He is right. Lucy isn't a shy person, she's just cautious since she knows her strength and she knows she can kill them all with just a flick of her fingers.
Lucy smiles as a familiar scent of campfires and cinnamon comes up behind her. She doesn't know what it is about Natsu but she doesn't want to fight against the pull towards him. And it seems he's not fighting the one towards her. She feels like she should know why she's feeling this but she can't think of it. Oh well. It will come to her eventually.
"Hey Luce!" Natsu smiles a toothy grin. Lucy suddenly felt warm in the face. That's new. "I just realized you don't have a place to stay for the night and it's getting dark. Want to stay with me an Happy? We live in a really nice cave outside of town. There's a lake to fish in right next to it!"
Lucy blushes at his offer. "W-Wh-What about your horde?" Hordes are very private and special things for dragons. Hordes are only shown and shared with their mates. Lucy never saw her Papa's horde but she has a suspicion that his horde is of bones. Her horde is safe in the Celestial Spirit World.
"Oh!" Natsu blushes. It simply felt so natural to offer his home that he forgot his horde, no matter how much he wants her to see it... join it... wear some of it... lay on her stomach with her tail and butt in the air and begging him to- STOP THAT! It's too soon!
"My-My horde isn't in the cave." Natsu rubs the back of his head in embarrassment. Lucy sighs in relief.
"That sounds really nice then." Lucy smiles.
Grumpy climbs on Lucy's head as she starts to follow Natsu when a Mira replica with short hair appears before Lucy.
"Hi! I haven't introduced myself. I'm Mira'a and Elfman's younger sister Lissanna. I'm Natsu's mate!" She announces. This will get you to back off from Natsu. She smiles smug-like. She has no idea of the rage she has just unleashed upon herself.
Grump bares his fangs and hisses, Lucy's face goes blank but you can feel her anger seeping out of her, and Natsu is growling with eyes that could if they had that power.
Lissanna, even though she made a huge mistake, was smart enough to take a step back.
"I know that's a lie. I don't smell is scent on you at all. I don't see a mark on you. And your soul isn't connected to him." Lucy moves as Natsu storms up towards Lissanna.
Natsu's hand are balled up in a fist, trying hard to control his anger. "Lissanna. I have told you time and time again that I am not interested in you! If you tell that lie one more time I will burn you into ash and use that ash to season Happy's fish!"
Natsu grabs Lucy's wrist and storm out of the guild with Natsu yelling for Happy who quickly followed.
