Eventually, Cobra settled down next to the only person who didn't give him a migraine trying to keep track of their insane head, Lucy Heartfillia.
Lucy was interesting in many ways to Cobra. When they had first come to the guild shortly after joining Crime Sorciere she had been one of the most welcoming, despite the fact that she had one of the biggest reasons to despise and reject them. Not to say she trusted them whole-heartedly or anything–she certainly wasn't stupid–but the lack of open hostility shared by some of her teammates at the start was one of the oddest things he'd ever encountered. A little hostility, anger, or even fear was common among the people who had seen them as past enemies, but to see that her soul held none of those feelings was just...bizarre.
Even months after, he continued to find new and surprising things about her. The Poison Dragonslayer wasn't one for what he considered "sentimental nonsense", but he could easily see himself having a deeper bond with the Celestial Mage than anyone else in the guild. (To be fair, she didn't really have any serious competition.)
Cobra shook his head slightly and sent a thanks to the gods that no one else had his Soul Reading ability. He definitely didn't want anyone else knowing about that.
