*next day*
"So I'm curious don't you worry about STIs and shit like that?" Cana drunkenly asks sitting on a table leaning on her barrel of alcohol.
Torine smiles naughtily raising an eyebrow, "shouldn't you have asked me that before last night?"
Cana blushes and sputters a bit.
"No, I don't actually," Torine laughs finally answering the question, "I don't have to, something to do with my magic makes it where I don't catch anything." Torine scoots closer to Cana and whispers, "actually it even cures any STIs that any of my sexual partners may have, but don't go telling anyone else that."
"Wait so that means the.. uh," Cana starts to say enthusiastically but stops, "I mean hypothetically.. if I had anything it would be gone now?" Someone across the room trying to stop a laugh can be heard by Torine who looks at Cana incredulously, "Yes. But did you seriously have sex with me last night knowing you had some kind of STI?"
"I said hypothetically," Cana says defensively. Once again an attempt to not laugh can be heard though this one less successful. Torine stands, "Wow.. um.. I'm gonna meet new people. You enjoy that beer."
She walks away from Cana, who drops her head onto her beer barrel and groans, and toward where the not laugh came from. Finding a snickering Natsu sitting with his confused team joined by a red-faced Wendy and an angry Carla. "Natsu what's so funny?" Lucy asks. "And what's wrong with Wendy?" asks Erza patting the small girl as if she were a pet that needed comforting.
"Natsu," Torine says stepping directly behind the young man sending nervous shivers up his spine. "Do you find it funny listening into other's conversations?" She says sternly. "N-no mam, of course not," he says nervously. "Good," she states with a smile. Dropping the smile once she turns to Wendy. "Unlike other dragon slayers here," Carla chimes in notably looking to Natsu then turning to Wendy, " Some can't control their hearing to purposefully eavesdrop and tend to accidentally hear things they shouldn't." This time she turns to Torine, "So should ask of you to politely refrain from such lewd conversations in her vicinity."
"Of course, I'm so sorry Wendy. I forgot that it been so long. Your hearing must have developed so much further now. That I am very proud of," Torine smiles. "I promise to keep the dirty talk to a minimum from now on." The rest of team Natsu laughs as Natsu deadpans at the different treatment. Erza laughs," I like her." Lucy laughs alone with her, "Me too, we need more people who can handle Natsu in the guild." Torine smiles looking at Erza as she speaks blushing then turning away. "Excuse me," she says walking away.
Authors note: I know this one is a little short and kinda a bad way to come back from hiatus. but now that the balls rolling again I want to take it easy so that it keeps going. I promise we will get to the ship sailing soon.
