Lucy looked sheepishly at Evergreen. She knew she Ever could see right through the little fibs she had told everyone else about why she hadn't accepted a real date with Laxus. She touched her scarred hip. Ever noticed this action and latched on to the meaning behind it. "So, you are in love with a man who jas a gigantic lightning scar covering his eye but you are afraid he will reject you because of one in your hip? Do you really think that low of him?" Lucy's eyes nearly popped out with Ever's voicing of her fear. Lucy looked do lost and sad. "I know he cares more about me as a person that how I look, but this is difficult. It is all in my head, I know, but I am so scared that the second he sees or touches my hideous scar that he will run for the hills. It's my own vaniti, I know, but I used to have beautiful hips." Shooting Lucy a knowing glance, Ever eased back into her chair. "You know the whole mating situation between you two doesn't work like that. I also know you are both stubborn mages. Your scar show what you are willing to do for the people you love. I am 100% sure Laxus will think it is beautiful and sexy. If you are that concerned about it, I guess you couls always get a tattoo to cover it up. I knowink turns Laxus on big time. What about a galaxy theme. The epicenter of the wound could be a swirling black hole on the front an back and then you could put your zodiac constellations radiating out." "Ever! You are amazing! Will you come with me? I wonder if they can see me today. Can you draw it?" Lucy's mind was going a mile a minute. She knew Evergreen was a fantastic artist and asked her draw it out. Once the picture was exactly how Lucy wanted it to be they finished their little lunch and tea then headed over to best tatoo parlor Magnolia had. Walking in they spoke to the receptionist, hoping they could be seen that afternoon. They were lucky today because of a last minute cancellation. Magical tattoos were not painful and took a fraction of the time.
Lucy ended her day with the most beautiful starscape imbedded into her scarred hip, a new plan to get back on track with her dragon, and a huge debt to a certain fairy mage who was able to help her see reason and boost her confidence.
