"...and that's about all I can think of for right now. Is all that ok?"
"I think so. It really is straightforward. We'll start around 12 then?"
"That's the plan! Just when lunchtime starts!" Mira gave a hop in excitement, her eyes brimming with far too much light for Cobra's taste. She pointed at him suddenly, "now, don't skip out on me~!" A chill ran down his spine. That was the demon talking right there.
"...I won't run off."
"Huh? What was that now?"
"Mira, don't tease him. It's taking all his willpower not to bite his tongue right now." Lucy's remark caused his shoulders to relax as the Mirajane turned her attention back on her guildmate. She gave a slight gasp in remembrance.
"Before I forget, Lucy...," she took a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to her. It was a very small note, but as Lucy started to unfurl it Mira took her hand to close it back up again. "Read it at home, please." Away from prying ears.
He pretended not to be interested in their little exchange. Lucy nervously glanced between Mira and Cobra before slowly putting the note into her pocket. Mirajane smiled and squeezed Lucy's hands. "Thank you again for helping with all this."
"It's no problem at all Mira. You are paying us after all."
An amount that won't be nearly enough if we get caught.
"Did you say something Cobra?"
"I was talking to Lucy...I'll see you in a few hours."
