"It's simple, really, see," she pauses for a split second to glance around as if daring anyone else to listen in on the conversation. Cobra's tolerance of the whole situation went down about ten percent more than it already was. "Ever since we defeated Tartarous and rebuild the guild again, there's been a big problem that's just been eating away at me!"

Lucy tilted her head in confusion. "A problem? But everything's been pretty normal since then." Her eyes shifted downwards, "well, mostly normal at least…"

The she-devil's hands slammed down on the table at the remark. "Exactly!"

Lucy's eyes leaped up to meet wild electric blue; Cobra internally groaned as the thought Mirajane was about to say next reverberated inside his skull.

"Ever since Tartarous everyone's slipped back into their usual ways! There's been practically no romantical progress for…well…anyone!"

If sweat drops had sound effects, Cobra was sure he just heard Lucy's.
