This is the second of two drabble series I will post daily for this month. They will only be five sentences long, and based on autumn-themed prompts. I hope you all enjoy them.
Prompt: Autumn
It was in the autumn after the Fairy Tail guild disbanded that Erza came to travel with Crime Sorciere. Every member of the ragtag group of misfit criminals had their own private reservations about this development, but none held more reluctance than Macbeth did. He wasn't even entirely sure why – it had been years since his defeat at her hands, after all.
Then again, it had been a rather humiliating experience.
Perhaps the most infuriating part of it all was how Erza herself had greeted him as if he were an old friend, and not a former enemy – depriving him of even that small dignity.
