A small cluster of passengers and crew walked out from an ornate terminal and crossed a field to where a large and majestic brass-skinned ridged airship sat. Its metal skin shined brilliantly in the sunlight and there wasn't even a hint of green patina thanks to a clear lacquer that had been painted onto the airship to prevent oxidation and preserve its beauty.

The Airship Captain looked to the man walking nearby, leading two women with one instantly recognisable as Fairy Tail's Salamander, all three must have been Jaegers on the way to a job. The captain noticed that the man was eyeing his airship with a curious glint in his abyssal eyes, so he closed the short distance and casually asked, "Is this the first time you've seen one up close? Stunning, isn't she."

"Definitely more beautiful than the warships I'm familiar with." Natsu remarked lightly, sparing the man a brief glance before returning his eyes to the airship. "Does she have a name?"

"The Queen of the Skies. I'm her captain, Regis Myles."

Natsu gave the man his complete attention, his eyes scanning across his full height which was a few inches taller than his own. He settled on the man's square face and his magenta eyes. "Then I entrust our safety to you, Captain." He gave the man a polite nod and headed up the boarding ramp and into the belly of the brass beast with his two female companions silently flanking him. Lelyanna and Natsumi had only spoken a few words between each other since the abrupt end of their argument a little over two hours earlier.

The small boarding group parted ways with the captain and the few crew that had been accompanying him heading in one direction that presumably led to the crew quarters and the bridge, while the trio and other passengers headed to their assigned sleeping quarters or set out to explore the airship's interior decks. Natsumi unlocked the door to their room and walked inside, she spared a quick glance around their lavish surroundings before dropping her bag in front of the bed and tossing herself down onto the soft mattress.

"Just so you two know, it's standard practice isolate these rooms with sound and magic pulse dampening barriers so the passengers aren't disturbed by the engines or other passengers who might be vigorously fucking next door." Natsumi rolled onto her side and idly watched them spread out to inspect the room. She pointed to the door against the wall closest to her feet. "The bathroom is through there. It has a shower, sink, and toilet, but the wards include it as part of this room. So, if you plan on jacking it or flicking the bean then just remember we would be able to hear it."

"I'll keep that in mind." Natsu replied, more to spare Lelyanna the embarrassment than for himself. "Guess this means I'll have a peaceful night sleep. I've gotten used to the quiet, and sleeping on a ship will probably be a little unsettling."

"Are these windows always clear?" Lelyanna asked softly as she approached the end of the room, standing by the head of the bed as she stared out at the airport.

"Yes, but no one will be able to see inside once we're in the air. So, the only privacy we need to worry about is our own, though, there seems to be no need between you and Natsu."

Lelyanna's hand twitched against the window, causing her fingers to squeak against the glass. But she took a deep breath and quietly released it slowly, choosing not to rise to the woman's lacklustre bait. "I take it we will all be sharing the bed? Looks like a full king-sized one."

"If there's an issue with not enough room, then I'll just sleep on the couch." Natsu turned his back to the women and removed his four swords from his person. He laid them down on the room's coffee table before removing his coat and placed it down atop the weapons. "I'm the largest out of the three of us, after all."

"I'll probably be resting against you for warmth anyway as it would probably be cold overnight and I doubt they'd heat the lifting gas in the bladders, so that'd cause cold air to come down here." Lelyanna admitted. She hugged her arms lightly and looked down at the bed; the sheets didn't seem overly thick or were made from warm material, so there could be a quilt in a cupboard. As she glanced around the room, her eyes briefly rested on a door near the front of the room, likely a linen cupboard but she passed over it to look at the salmon-haired man. "If I'm half on you, then there would be more than enough room for Natsumi to sleep normally beside you, and I can stay warm and comfortable."

"I'm fine with it too." Natsumi sat up and took her falchions from her belt and set them aside next to the bed. "But don't you think it would get a little too hot with the two of us in the bed together?"

"Those bedsheets are thin, so Lelyanna shouldn't get too hot. And it would take a lot more than our bodies to make you and I feel hot."

"Well, if you think there won't be any issue then let's just get in bed with each other." Natsumi crawled off the bed and stretched her lithe, athletic body. She removed her coat and tossed it haphazardly onto the bed. She reached behind her head and combed her fingers down the length of her long pink hair as her eyes drifted over to the man sat on the arm of the couch. "I'm going to check out the ship's casino while you two get acquainted with the room. If I'm not back by dinner then you might have to drag me away from those one-armed bandits."

"Just as long as you don't try kicking and screaming." A playful smirk tugged at Natsu's lips but his eyes snapped to a glimmer of metal as he reflexively lifted his hand and caught the small object, when he turned over his hand, he realised she had thrown him the room key as she began to leave the room. "You don't want to hold onto this?"

"It's usually Lucy or Erza who holds onto it since I may misplace it, Grace doesn't like holding onto it, and Wendy fears that she might lock the keys in the room." Natsumi opened the door and looked back at her counterpart with a warm smile. "As you're our leader, it only seems right that you hold onto those keys."

"Alright." Once the woman had closed the door, he noticed that the sound dampening worked pretty well as the only way he knew she was heading down the hall was due to her inability to properly conceal her signature. Natsu turned his attention to the priestess who was taking off her peacoat. "You're not going to be too cold?"

"I'm fine right now, but I may have to put it back on later." Lelyanna replied as she collected up Natsumi's coat and hung both garments on a coatrack near the door. The woman could feel Natsu's eyes on her back so she made her way to him and took his hand lightly, leading him to the bed where she sat down on the edge. "I'm sorry I made you use Macro on Natsumi and I, even if it was to protect us from each other…"

"Don't worry about it. Something like that, it isn't really anything to be concerned about." Natsu shook his head lightly at the woman's sad murmur and kicked off his boots. He pushed himself back along the bed and rested his head against the pillows. "I didn't like doing it, but that doesn't mean you should beat yourself up over it."

"Why?" Lelyanna quickly unlaced her boots and crawled on her hands and knees to the man, the bed dipping slightly with her movements until she was sat on her knees beside his hips.

"Because all it was, was me just restraining you two to end your fight before Natsumi hit you and instantly regretted her actions. Not because I would've gotten physical at that point, but because you're just a normal human woman. You don't have the same resilience that all the women she's used to being around and clashing with have. Yeah, you could've easily healed yourself, but you would've been in bad shape, and that would've hurt her more than anything you could physically do to her."

"I don't think she understands just how strong you are. See seemed terrified of you the instant you exerted your aura on us. But you were being very domineering." The priestess giggled lightly and glanced at the man's stomach. After a moment's thought, she placed her hands on his abs and lifted her left leg a little, moving it to the other side of the man and settling down on his lap a little shyly. "I was a little afraid too. But I've seen what you're capable of, and I doubt I've seen the full extent of it too."

"Hm, you're being a bit bold today." Natsu noted as he ran his hands up the woman's pale thighs before lifting them off near the top and bringing them up to her blushing cheeks and running a thumb across her cute smile. "Don't complain if you start feeling something grow under you."

"I…" Lelyanna glanced away from the man, her eyes raising to look out the window above the small headboard. "Do you like forward women? Like, physically forward?"

"It depends on how I'm feeling. Sometimes I like to seek and other times I like to be sought out." The man replied softly, gazing up at the woman's faintly glowing eyes. "This is about Natsumi?"

"I envy how she can be so open with you and not have to worry about appearances…" She looked at her own reflection in the glass, thankfully, she knew that people wouldn't realise she was an archbishop when she was dress like this. Like a fashionable young woman instead of a priestess. But there was still something in the back of her mind that stopped her from displaying her affectionate side as clearly as Natsumi does. "She clings to you without a care in the world to where you are or who is around you."

"You know she has a similar problem with you, too?" Natsu chuckled softly. He lightly grabbed Lelyanna's wrists and pulled them up towards the top of the bed, causing the woman to collapse against his chest. "I can sense that she envies how intimate you are with me. Maybe she thinks that she should've been the one I was sent to, as my counterpart in this world."

The young woman folded her hands over the man's sternum and rested her chin atop them as she gazed into his dark eyes that held a sliver of warmth, a small smile blossoming on her face. "I noticed. But that wouldn't have worked out. She might have been accepting of your appearance the way it happened, because she sensed you and it piqued her curiosity so she tracked you down. But if you were dropped into her lap as you were mine, I don't think it would've gone down well."

"I was sent to you because Ceres trusts that you'd look after me, and while you were only tasked with helping me settle in, you've decided to stick with me of your own agency."

"It's mutually beneficial." Lelyanna nodded lightly, her short wavy hair shaking with the movement. "You get my help with counselling and treatment for the trauma, and aid in rebuilding your life. While I get protection, the ability to head out into the country and help those in need, and the training I need to survive."

"I'm guessing that's not including the personal connection?"

"That's the added bonus." The woman giggled softly. She slipped her arms around the man's neck and turned her head onto its side against his chest, listening to his strong and steady heartbeat. "The type of warmth and companionship I couldn't have in the sisterhood. The girls are nice, don't get me wrong. But I'm into guys."

"I'm a guy." Natsu grinned playfully, a faint sparkle of mirth glittered in his void-like eyes.

"And I'm into you." The woman muffled her giggle into his chest before lifting her head to look into his eyes. "You admitted earlier about having lewd thoughts about me… I, erm, I have them about you too. And it doesn't help that your warmth stirs up my core. When we're lying together, I can't stop my mind from drifting." A rich blush bloomed on Lelyanna's face and neck as she murmured to the man.

"Is that why you're constantly staying in light clothes, so you can sap at my warmth to fuel your lust?" The pinkette laughed softly and rested his hands on the woman's hips, earning a slight twitch from the woman who arched her back slightly at the delightfully warm touch.

"Maybe." Lelyanna closed her eyes and let her head rest against the man's firm chest once again. "You know, you're allowed to let your hands roam around me as you please. I like the feel of them against my skin, and I'm more than comfortable with you touching me wherever."

"I'll keep that in mind." Natsu felt a familiar shift in his weight and glanced out the window as Lelyanna sat bolt upright on his lap.

"We're taking off?"

"Yeah." He confirmed calmly. The woman rose up onto her knees and hung over him as she rested her arms on the headboard, gazing out the window in awe. So, he slid out from under her through her legs and sat behind the woman. "Is this a new sight to you?"

"Yeah, technically, the it's the same for you." Lelyanna replied softly with a quick glance back down along her arched back to look at the man. "You might've seen your Magnolia from the skies, but not this one."

"True." Natsu ran his eyes down the woman's body, paying close attention to her clothing. "What do you think of the clothing from my world?"

"Hm, I like them; I find them really comfortable." Lelyanna's hips shook lightly as she twisted to look at her clothing. "Even these." She bashfully pinched the back of her skirt between her finger and thumb and lifted it to show off the ornately patterned snow-white lace lingerie underneath. She might have gotten dressed in front of him but somehow exposing herself like this was making her feel a little self-conscious, though that could've been because she had been feeling excited due to the warmth and firmness of the man's member pressed right against the most sensitive part of her body. "While I was trying on clothes, I stopped by a few underwear sections and lingerie stores and tried some on; they're flashier and more comfortable than even the best from this world, at least from what I can find. So, I switched out my entire underwear draw for ones from your world, complete with matching bras if I chose to wear them, like the one I have on."

"It's good that you managed to find some clothes and outfits that you like. Though you might want to let go of the skirt, you look just a little bit damp." Natsu suggested with a playful smirk who blushed and gave him a warm but slightly embarrassed smile as she dropped the skirt and turned to face the man. "Do you want to go find Natsumi with me?"

"I think I'll…" The priestess' blush darkened, tinting her pale skin with a rich pink hue. She lowered her voice to a self-conscious mumble. "I've gotten pretty turned on by sitting on you like that, as you pointed out... I knew it would happen, but I wanted to do it. So, um… I'll stay here and play with myself while you go to her. Just connect to me before you start coming back, it'll be embarrassing if I get walked in on while in the act."

"Be thankfully that I won't be able to hear you this time." Natsu chuckled softly as he crawled off the bed and adjusted his clothes to better hide the erection that she had given him. As he turned away from her, he caught a glimpse of a very seductive smile on the cute woman's face which immediately drew his attention back to her with his eyebrows raising in surprise.

"Oh, that's a pity, it means you won't get to hear me moan 'Natsu~, ooh~, Natsu~!' and listen to me climax." Lelyanna's body tensed and twisted as she let her pent-up tension slip into her voice, causing it to raise in octave and become breathy with her need for release.

"I'm struggling to work out which of you is worse right now." The man admitted as he stared at the giggling woman. "Heh," He shook his head lightly and reached out to the woman, slowly sliding his hand across her cheek and running his thumb across her subtly painted lips. "Take your time, enjoy it, I'll drag my feet as much as I can."

"Oh, I will." Lelyanna murmured against the man's thumb. Her eyes dropped to the hand against her face and she opened her mouth a little more, trapping the thumb between her teeth and sucking softly on it as her eyes flicked up to the man's own void-like pair. "I came across some rather, special, literature in your world. It's given me lots of ideas~." She whispered through her teeth, keeping the digit locked between them as she flicked her tongue over it and sucked a little harder. Her eyes slowly wandered down the man's lean yet muscular body before flicking back up once more. "Lots of ideas…"

"Mm, maybe you'll get a chance to put those ideas into practice." Natsu ran his free hand through the woman's hair as he leaned in closely to bring his lips near hers.

She had released his thumb and her eyes flicked down to his lips as they came within a centimetre of locking with hers. His breath had a strangely intoxicating cinnamon scent that caused her skin to tingle pleasantly. "I know you are part demon, but could that demon part be an incubus?" She pondered aloud as her tongue flicked across her lips to moisten them and she tried to close the distance but the man pulled back at the same time, maintaining the small gap between them as his hands skimmed through her hair. She pressed her lips together in a pout as her eyes flicked up to the dark eyes that seemed to contain a shimmer of playfulness. "Meanie."

"Unfortunately, I'm just a fire demon. An excessively powerful one, yes, but still just a fire demon." Natsu chuckled softly. "I'll leave you with a little gift to help you with your little bit of private time." He slowly dragged his lips along the woman's jaw, drawing a gentle shiver from her. When he reached her earlobe, he pinched it lightly between his sharp fangs, earning a sudden gasp and a stronger shiver from the priestess who pulled back with her hand over her heart, her eyes wide but darkened with lust. "Hm, I figured you'd be someone who was sensitive there."

"A-are you like that too?" Lelyanna asked quietly as she gently rubbed the lobe. Her body still tingled pleasurably from the gentle bite.

"Yes." Natsu replied honestly, tapping his right ear lightly. "It's due to how sensitive my hearing is along with the ear itself, so it's a double whammy for me; touch and sound. I'm willing to bet that Natsumi is like that too."

"Then… I'm going to bite you when you come back." The priestess purred defiantly as she came back close to the man. "Enjoy yourself, because I know I'll be enjoying myself here." She winked playfully and gave the man a small shove towards the door. "Bye, bye~."

Natsu chuckled lightly as he turned his back to the woman. On his way to the door, he held out his hand and summoned his coat with Macro, quickly putting it on with a flourish. "I'm locking the door behind me so no one walks in on you." He glanced over his shoulder and saw the priestess lifting her turtleneck sweater up her body, revealing her lace-clad breasts. "See ya."

Natsu smiled at the woman's playful giggle and left the cabin, closing the door behind him and locking it with the key. His gaze wandered around the hall and while he couldn't hear beyond the walls and floors of the cabins, the hallway was a different story. It didn't take him long to locate Natsumi's presence, she was further down the airship and two decks above him and was accompanied by the chimes of slot machines. He slipped his hands into the pants pockets and made his way to her, passing by his fellow passengers who gave him curious glances but he ignored them. The buckles on his coat jingled lightly with each step, accompanied by the quiet clack of his boots against the wooden floating floorboards. It wasn't long until he spotted the dragon princess, she seemed far too engrossed with the machine in front of her, enthralled in the noise, lights, and images flashing past on the wheels. He leaned in close to the absent-minded woman's ear and grinned devilishly. "Hey."

"FU-!" Natsumi almost jumped completely out of her clothes as her hands slammed over her mouth before she blew everyone's eardrums with her shout. She placed her hand over her bosom and took slow, deep breaths to calm her racing heart. "How did you sneak up on me?"

"You learn a thing or two doing what I used to do. Though, it's not like I was even trying to be quiet, you were just too focused on the machine." Natsu moved around the woman and leaned against the left side of the slot machine.

Natsumi glanced up at the man and her nose twitched slightly as she sniffed the air. "You smell like Lelyanna. Like, it's all over you."

"The scent is probably strong because she is horny but I was making sure she was fine after your fight."

"Yeah… sorry about that." The princess looked down then back up at the machine. She pulled the lever and watched the drums roll. "I forgot she isn't someone from my guild."

"I know." Natsu ruffled the woman's hair then courteously smoothed it out again. "I made sure she knew that. You're used to people like Erza and Grace who would be able to take your hits and send them right back without batting an eye. But she's just a normal human woman who's been granted a blessing, that's why I'm teaching her to take care of herself. She has no hard feelings against what you did, but you two still have the lingering conflict. Like I said earlier, just make sure it stays verbal and there won't be any issue. And, as I said, always make good with her after you two have had a spat."

"I'll be sure to do that. The last thing I want to do it hurt innocents. I just let my emotions get the better of me."

"I understand. Believe me, our emotions can make us very impulsive people." Natsu sighed and looked out the window at the end of the room where he could see the Magnolia skyline. "So, have you won anything?"

"Just a little bit here and there." Natsumi grunted softly as the machine failed to pay out once again. "Seems like I'm just pissing money down the drain at this point."

"How much?"

"A few hundred, maybe close to a thousand, maybe more at this point…" The woman admitted, glancing down in shame. "Not the most I've dumped into one of these things, but they do earn the nickname of 'One-Armed Bandit' pretty well."

Natsu leaned around the machine to check how much money a jackpot would get her then leaned further down to whisper into the woman's ear. "Want to see something cool?"

"What is it?" Natsumi asked curiously, but all she received as an answer was a grin and the man pointing to the lever. She reached out to it once more and gave it a pull. The reels spun and the icons on them fell down one after the other. The first one stopped at the lucky seven, then the second, and finally the third. She had hit the jackpot and money flowed out into the tub in front of her. Her eyes snapped up to the man in shock as he watched the reels with an almost imperceptible sly smile.

"Looks like Lady Luck has smiled upon you. I'll give you a little hint; Macro is good for mechanical things like locks and stuff." Natsu chuckled softly and gave the woman a small fanged grin. "Lelyanna is having a little time to herself, so you can either keep playing or we can head out with your winnings."

"I don't want to risk losing what I've gained." Natsumi murmured and took her money pouch from her belt. She quickly filled it with her winnings and rose from the stool. "Let's head back to the room, we can decide what to do with dinner once we're all together."

Natsu closed his eyes and transported his consciousness into Lelyanna's body. He suddenly felt water running down his body that was just a little on the hot side for the small woman, he had caught her in the shower again. 'You've finished?'

"Yeah, you just missed it by about a minute." Lelyanna giggled softly and ran her soapy hands over her breasts, though this time she wasn't averting her eyes from her body. "And I was being so loud too~, thankfully the walls kept it all in here."

'I found Natsumi on a slot machine. Helped her win a jackpot so she would get off it. So, we'll be heading back to the room.'

"I'll still be in here when you get back, you can probably feel how I'm still tingly and this hot water isn't letting it fade away." The woman ran her fingertips over her erect nipples and shivered lightly at the pleasing sensation. "Don't worry if you hear noises~."

'Heh, I'll make sure to close the door quickly then.' Natsu withdrew his consciousness from the woman and chuckled lightly with a slight shake of his head. He saw Natsumi turn to him almost exactly as his eyes opened, she had finished attaching the pouch onto her belt. "All set?"

"Yeah, I'm probably going to have to have you hold onto a good portion of it, it feels like it's going to pull my skirt down." Natsumi unbuckled her belt and adjusted it a single notch tighter. "Alright, let's go." She hooked her arms around the man's left arm and nestled herself up against him. "You won't believe the amount of looks I've gotten…"

"You don't sound pleased." Natsu noted. He glanced down at her as they left the casino and he slipped his hands into his pockets once again but kept his left arm a little bent for the woman.

"Normally I enjoy letting people get a peek at the goods but these people are greasy and repulsive nobles who want to add me to their collection. I fucking hate it." Natsumi replied quietly as she tightened arms and brought the man's arm deeper into her chest which caused some of the eyes on her to turn away due to the man's rugged appearance and powerful physique. "Hm, that's better. I might have to bring you with me when I run errands. You're great at making these creeps feel inferior and insignificant."

"Well, you are pretty eye-catching. I'm not surprised that you get lustful stares." Natsu glanced at the woman's long pink hair that reached to her ass and was styled so the tips flared out like tongues of fire. They descended down two flights of stairs and headed along the hallway. "She's probably still in the shower."

"How do you know?" Natsumi looked at the man curiously.

"She and I have a trinket that allows us to connect our consciousnesses with each other. That and I can sense exactly where she is, and she seems to be in the bathroom."

"So, you've seen her showering, from her own eyes?"

"Only twice, and the first time was when we were at Saiko's shop. And that time, she looked up at the showerhead so I wouldn't see much beyond a brief glance at her body."

"Is it useful, the trinket itself?"

"It allows us to communicate over distance. In fact, I was originally going to use it so she could see my home through my eyes if it was too hazardous for her." Natsu stopped out the front of their cabin and took the keys from his pocket. "But Ceres found out that the places I wanted to go to weren't as bad as I was expecting." They slipped into the room and he closed the door right behind him. Now that he was inside, he could hear water still running down a body in the bathroom. "Seems like she isn't done in the shower, but it feels like she's calmed down."

"I'm going to get our food ordered and brought here." Natsumi groaned softly as she stretched her arms out above her head and glanced out the airship's window. "She's not allergic to anything, right?"

"No. And she's not really a finicky eater either. So just order whatever takes your fancy." The salmon-haired man rubbed his facial hair and grimaced, it was getting a bit too long for his liking. He hung up his coat and sat down on the foot of the bed, watching the woman grab the handset mounted on the wall near the door. The sudden absence of running water drew his attention to the closed bathroom door and just a few moments later it swung open, revealing Lelyanna with a white towel wrapped tightly around her body and a smaller one in her hands which she was using to dry her hair.

"How'd you go?" The priestess asked quietly as she glanced over at the dragon princess on the phone while made her way to the bed. She sat down next to him and placed the smaller towel down on the other side of her. "We're eating here?"

"She was losing a fair bit of money on the slot machines, so I helped her by persuading it a little into giving her a jackpot. And yeah, we're having dinner brought down here."

"Hehe, naughty~." Lelyanna giggled behind her hand while looking up at Natsu through her eyelashes. "Since we're staying here, I'm going to get dressed for bed." She placed down a pair of pale-blue lace panties and a matching negligée beside her and rose to her feet. She silently shushed the man with a finger to her lips and gave him a playful wink as she dropped the towel to her feet. After a quick glance at Natsumi's back, she slipped the panties up her legs and pulled on the partly see-through negligée. "How do I look?"

"It looks really good on you." Natsu ran his eyes down the woman's nightwear, admiring how it followed the curves of her slender body as he kicked off his boots. "I'm guessing that's from my world too?"

"Yup~." The priestess giggle quietly. She crawled onto the bed and laid down in the centre with her eyes glued to the man. "A lot of the clothing that I use in private settings have been replaced with stuff I found since they look much more sensual or comfortable than what we have here. And since I can carry it all with me, thanks to you, I'm basically a walking wardrobe!"

"What's it made from?" Natsu asked as he reached over to the woman and checked the tag on the back of the garment. "Hm, silk, it did look expensive. I'm guessing you found it in the Touche D'Amour store in the shopping centre?"

"How did you know?"

"I've been there so many times with Lucy over the years. We were pretty much friends with the owners of the store." Natsu chuckled softly and his body was obscured by a flash of light; he had switched out his clothes into a pair of loose black pyjama pants made from silk. As he rose to his feet and stretched, a slender finger began to trace the scars on his back. He glanced over his shoulder into the faintly sparkling eyes of the priestess that were fixated on the various tales of war written on his back.

"Are we all getting ready for bed or something?" Natsumi asked somewhat loudly as she strolled over to them, her eyes flicking from the shirtless Natsu to the woman behind him. She grabbed her bag and brought it up onto the bed. "They said it would be here somewhere between fifteen and twenty minutes."

"What did you get?" Lelyanna asked curiously. She stood up on her knees and lightly pulled the man back down to the bed so she could rest against his back with her arms around his neck.

"I decided on some Sheppard's Pie. Something simple." The pinkette brought out a pair of dark-red lace lingerie that had just a little bit more than the bare minimum amount of fabric and plenty of thin straps to hold it to her body. Due to being crafted from sheer silk, its ability to obscure the woman's body from sight was practically non-existent.

"Those are so thin; I wouldn't even need Natsu's special eyes to see through them!" Lelyanna gasped softly and tightened her arms around the man slightly.

"Special eyes?" Natsumi glanced back to them on her way to the bathroom. "What's special about them?"

"Sharper vision and the ability to see into the near-infrared section of light." Natsu explained slowly. "Incidentally, this ability to see beyond the normal visual light spectrum allows me to see light that can pass through certain types and thicknesses of clothes. Your normal clothes are fine, but under very low light, that underwear would be practically clear to me."

"Eh." The pinkette shrugged lightly and slipped into the bathroom. She stuck her head back through the partially closed door with a small smile. "I've got nothing to hide from you and I usually sleep naked anyway. Those eyes would come in hand to see concealed weapons, right?"

"Depends on the material and the intensity of the light around me. Say if I shined the infrared light on my pistol at you, I might be able to see through your clothes due to its intensity but I can't see through them with the standard amount around us."

After quickly using the bathroom, Natsumi returned to the bed and shed her clothes with not even a hint of shame. She casually slipped into her lingerie and once it was settled comfortably on her body, she stretched out languidly with a sultry moan. "Since Lelyanna and I aren't in publicly appropriate clothing, you'll have to get the door when the food turns up, Natsu."

"I mean, it's not really appropriate if he answers the door while pitching a tent~." Lelyanna giggled softly and pointed down the front of the man's body. "Seems like even he isn't unaffected by a pair of beautiful women."

"It's not like you haven't given me an erection before, Lelyanna. Remember the last job?"

"How could I forget? You kept poking my tush while we were trying to sleep. It was very distracting." The woman chirped playfully. She released the man reluctantly and walked over to the coffee table while Natsumi disappeared back into the bathroom. "I'm going to move your swords over to Natsumi's so we can eat here."

"Right." Natsu slipped off the bed and followed the short woman. He gave her a hand with the two larger swords and allowed her to carry the two short-swords. Glancing out the window, he asked, "What do you think of the sights?"

"Hm?" Lelyanna followed his gaze and smiled at the snowy mountains that shimmered in the moonlight. "It looks pretty up here; I could get used to this. But I don't think I'd be able to afford the travel expenses, even with how much money we have at the cathedral." She bent down slowly and carefully placed Huginn and Muninn down beside Natsumi's Falchions. "I don't suppose that you could build or find a private flying machine?"

"I could, I just need the right materials and parts. It wouldn't be light the fighters or dropships you saw in the carrier, way to advanced for me to bring into this world. I'd be more comfortable with propeller driven planes like how this airship is propelled." As Natsu placed his two large swords down, he noticed that one of the straps on Lelyanna's gown had slipped off her shoulder and was hanging down by her arm. He hooked it with a finger and gently brought it back up to her shoulder which earned him a playful but thankful smile from the adorably sexy priestess. "Let me think over it and I'll see what I come up with. But my first priority is working out a way to make my guns seem less alien."

"But I want to be able to fly… You and Natsumi can fly whenever you want…"

Natsu sighed softly and ran a hand through his hair as he gazed down at the woman's cute pout. "Lelyanna, even if I make it, you wouldn't be able to fly it and it'd be too dangerous to let you. Even a low-speed crash could and likely would be lethal for you. I could maybe make a two-seater but even then, I'd need to do a lot of research on this world's technology just to make it work with what's available here." A knock on the door pulled the man away from their conversation and Natsu opened it to reveal a stewardess with a trolley just off to the side.

"Good evening. I've brought the food you've ordered." The purplette was having a hard time tearing her eyes from the man's bare scarred chest but she was eventually able to raise her eyes to his face, only to be sucked in by his small soft smile. She helped the man bring the food into the room and place it on the coffee table. "When you have finished eating, just call on the telephone again and someone will come by and collect the plates."

"Thank you." Once the woman had left with her trolley, the man closed the door and locked it. He stretched as he turned to his two beautiful companions and yawned softly. "Do you know when we're going to arrive, Natsumi?"

"In the early morning. Probably around four-ish." Natsumi sat down on the couch and didn't even wait for the other two to join her before she began eating. "It will probably be best if we get to bed early just so we have enough sleep and are both showered and dressed by the time we land."

"We should probably find an Inn to stay at too, once we land." Lelyanna chipped in with a glance between the two pinkettes. She waited for Natsu to sit down then quickly claimed a seat on his lap, sitting side on so she wouldn't hinder him. "I don't mind continuing to save money by rooming together."

"I'll let you two sort that out then. I think I'll poke around Edelweiss so see if I can pick anything up." Natsu grabbed his food and leaned back on the couch. "If I sense something unfamiliar then I might be able to track it down easily."

"I'm surprised that works for you."

Natsu glanced up at the pinkette with raised eyebrows. "I mean, it worked with the goblins and orcs. I could sense their hostility and, well, monstrous it was."

"That'd work on those types of monsters. But say you come across a vampire; that trick won't work since they've adapted to life among humans, elves, and whatnot." Natsumi pointed at the man with her spoon ladened with food before redirecting it into her mouth. "Overly aggressive monsters could be picked up like that, but not all monsters are overly aggressive. Some are passive or are just miscategorised as monsters by ignorant fuckers, and sometimes by malicious fuckers."

"I see."

"On cases like this where there seems to be no fatalities caused by the monster, we can assume that it is either biding its time or is a non-violent type." The dragon princess placed her empty bowl down on the coffee table and shifted herself on the couch, turning so she faced the duo with her legs tucked up next to her. "Oh, and that doesn't even cover the ones that can't be sensed, even by hybrids like us, Natsu. As in they don't even register with our sensory abilities. So, in other words, you can't always place your faith in that ability of ours."

"I'll keep that in mind." Natsu placed his bowl down and looked out at the dark sky past the pinkette. "Are there sensory type monsters?"

"Yes. And they'd probably be able to pick you out from a crowd pretty easily for various reasons."

"Like?"

"You have a depressing aura around you. It's lightening slowly as you recover, but it's noticeable enough that you stand out. However, it's not like you're the only one that stands out from a crowd. Many of us in Fairy Tail have some form of baggage or hinderance that would cause that. You already know mine."

"Your inability to properly conceal your power."

"Yes, but I'm also rather temperamental due to my natural hormones being affected by my dragon mutations. Wendy has a similar issue but due to her more reserved attitude, it shows up less with her." Natsumi glanced down with a small self-deprecating smile. "It's why my emotions can flip about so quickly, why I go from fun-loving to aggressive in an instant…"

"We're not so different in that regard." Natsu calmly comforted the woman. Lelyanna shifted on his lap and placed her bowl down, so he moved her off him and headed for the phone. "But I can control it, so it's like a switch I can flick." He quickly called up the staff and informed them that they had finished eating and they could collect the cutlery and crockery.

"Could you teach me how to get it under control?"

The man placed the handset back on the dock and turned back to the women, eying both of them before shaking his head lightly at his counterpart. "I can't, women are inherently more emotionally volatile. This is down to your hormones. Now add in the dragon mutations, as you mentioned, and you become even more emotionally volatile because you have the instincts of a female dragon, and a fire dragon at that. If I taught you to restrict your emotions, then you'd bottle it up until you popped like a champagne bottle, spilling all that pent up emotion on everyone around you. It'll get messy." Natsu crossed back over to the woman and leaned down to her eye-level, staring into her vibrant eyes. "That isn't to say men aren't volatile, we're more aggressive and due to our greater strength, more dangerous when we act out. So, the true marker of a man, is the ability to control this aggressiveness and only unleash it when it is required of him. To protect those he cares about, and to protect his ideals. Lelyanna can attest to this, she's seen me when I get aggressive, apparently it can be frightening. And that wasn't even close to the most vicious, monstrous thing I've done. That goes to what happened when I lost everyone."

The young priestess lowered he gaze and fiddled with her fingers. She glanced at the woman sat next to her and addressed her in a quiet voice. "I've seen what happens when that switch gets flicked… In my first job, I watched him slaughter a camp of bandits to save a bunch of girls and women that were captured and 'prepared' to be sold as sex slaves. He was calm, but very, very violent. I saw eight of them die in just a few heartbeats. And before we reached that camp, he had slowly crushed the head of a bandit under his boot while interrogating him for the location of their camp." She raised her gaze to meet Natsu's void-like eyes and placed her hand over her heart, hardening her resolve as he voice became louder and stronger. "But that's why I trust him with my safety. Because I know that anyone who tries to harm me, will face the demon that watches over me and they will quickly regret their actions."

"Yeah. I felt a little of that when I nearly hit you earlier…" Natsumi glanced at the priestess but quickly returned her gaze to the man. She stuck out her chest as she leaned in, bringing her face close to his and giving off the air of challenge. "But don't think you dominate me that easily."

A knock on the door interrupted their staring contest and Natsu glanced over to it. He pulled back and quickly crossed the room to open it, finding the same purple-haired woman from before. "Hey there, let me grab the stuff."

The stewardess followed the man into the room with her trolley but stayed by the door, her eyes drifting around the cabin and passing over the two heads poking up over the top of the couch. Her gaze came to rest on the group of swords resting against the far wall. "You three are heading out on a job?"

"Yes. We're heading to Edelweiss for an investigation." Natsu replied as he brought over the bowls and spoons. "Do you know what time we'll arrive at their port?"

"Twenty-five minutes past four, if we don't face delays."

"Right." He gave the woman a small smile and turned back to his team. "Definitely having an early night." The man glanced at the staff member and gave her a polite nod. "Thank you, and thank you for the service."

"Of course, goodnight." The purplette nodded and gave the man a warm smile before wheeling her trolley out of the room and closing the door behind her.

"She's into you." Natsumi burst out laughing and rose to her knees on the couch, pressing up against the back of the couch so her breasts rested against the top. "I could smell it from all the way over here."

"You two hop into bed, I'm going to use the bathroom." Natsu glanced at the women as he passed by and slipped into the ensuite, closing the door behind him. After stopping by the toilet, he cleaned his face with a hand towel dampened with hot water. His ear twitched when he heard the door open and he moved the towel away. "Something wrong, Lelyanna?"

"I wanted to check up on you." The priestess replied softly as she came up to the man's side and looked up at his eyes. "You know what she's like."

"I'm not bothered by her antics." Natsu shook his head lightly and brought out his grooming kit, quickly changing the clipper head and bringing his facial hair back down to the short length that he liked. "But, I'm alright." He glanced at the woman, knowing she wanted a proper answer. "Like you've already mentioned, I've been slowly but steadily feeling better since our trip home. Likely due to meeting Lucy's ghost."

"Still, I'm glad you're making progress." Lelyanna summoned her bag of toiletries and began brushing her teeth. She stayed close to the man and enjoyed his comforting warmth while she watched him trim and style his facial hair into a neat fade that emphasised his jawline. Once they were both finished, they returned to the main room only to find that Natsumi had already fallen fast asleep and was spread out like a starfish, hogging a large portion of the king-sized bed. "I don't know whether I should be impressed with how easily she fell asleep, or annoyed that she left bugger-all room."

Natsu snorted at the woman's deadpan mutter. "Not very considerate, is she?" He gently guided the woman into the bed first then slipped in behind her and let her rest her head on his arm while he wrapped the other around her waist. "We better follow her example and get some sleep too."

Lelyanna moved back a little, pressing her back against the man's chest and murmuring quietly through a gentle yawn. "Mm, right. Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Running fifteen minutes behind schedule, the Queen of the Skies finally docked at Edelweiss and the passengers destined for the small city disembarked. As they had planned, Natsu, Natsumi, and Lelyanna split up with the two women heading out to find a decent inn and leaving Natsu to roam around the city. Due to being built in the mountain ranges and with the onset of winter, the cold city was inundated by snow.

A ticking grew louder as a mechanical behemoth turned onto the street Natsu was walking alongside. It was devouring the fresh snow and sprinkling salt in its wake to clear the streets before the morning rush comes into full swing. As he passed by a snow-capped street lamp, the buzzing incandescent lightbulb inside suddenly emitted a faint pop and the warm orange luminance vanished, drawing the man's attention for a moment before he redirected it to the snowy path ahead of him.

Natsu was about to step out into the intersection but hesitated when his instincts caused his skin to prickle, so he stayed on the footpath and looked to his right, quickly spotting the source of his warning; a transport truck was puttering along with a silent hum that caused faint disturbances in the ambient magic. The driver gave a friendly nod to the armed man, a gesture that he returned.

Natsu let out a foggy breath and looked up at the snow drifting down from the black sky. Somehow it felt different to the snow he was used to back in his world; it was spectacularly white, and hadn't been tainted by the rising smoke and ashes from the endless seas of rubble that contained the dead and dying, blackened by years of a devastating and intense war.

Once the truck had passed by, Natsu crossed the intersection and continued on his walk through the city. Like Natsumi had told him, he wasn't able to detect the monster or monsters at all. Whether it was just sleeping or he just couldn't differential them from normal people, he wasn't sure, but he eventually decided to call it quits and he locked his senses onto Lelyanna and Natsumi so he could use their familiar signatures to guide him to the inn that they had chosen.

"Good morning!" Asked a cheery young man, his head shooting up and causing his wavy auburn hair to shake when the bell above the door rang. "How can I help ya?"

Natsu made sure he didn't have any snow on him as he stepped into the Inn's bar section and approached the man behind the counter. He seemed to be a few years younger than himself, somewhere between him and Natsumi. "Good morning. I believe my companions came by not long ago? Two women; one with hair like mine but lighter, and another with silver hair that has a blue shimmer to it."

The barkeep glanced at the man's weapons then nodded quickly. "Aye, they came in about an hour and a half ago. Mentioned that they were with a man described as you are. The name's Cian by the way, Cian Fitzpatrick."

"Báleygr." Natsu shook the man's offered hand before sitting down on a stool at the bar. "I'm sure you've probably already guessed this by now, but we're here about the strange phenomenon happening in this city."

"Ah, I've heard about that. We've had plenty of Jaegers come through here in an effort to work it out but since the issue hadn't been resolved, the contract had stayed active."

"Yeah, that's why I brought Salamander with me. Between the two of us, we should be able to pick up whatever is causing this."

"I thought that was her. So, are you and the young woman a part of Fairy Tail too?" Cian asked as he sized up the man. "Need a drink?"

"No, Anna and I are independent, registered with the Association. Salamander and I only recently bumped into each other and got talking and became friends. She wanted to come on a job with us, so here we are." Natsu replied. His eyes snapped to a door along the back wall moments before it opened and a young woman stepped out, her long vivid orange hair trailing behind her as she walked over to the bar. "As for that drink, a latte with two teaspoons of sugar, please."

"Ah, good morning, Love." Cian followed the man's gaze and he smiled brightly and gave the woman a small kiss on her lightly freckled cheek as he moved past her and started working the coffee machine. "This lovely lass is the love of my life." The man smiled over his shoulder at the pinkette sat at the bar. "Makenna, meet Báleygr. Another Jaeger who's trying his hand at the contract."

"Good morning." Natsu gave the woman a small smile. She looked like she was still waking up but she still gave him a smile and warmly returned the greeting. Natsu turned his attention back to Cian and watched him mill coffee beans into a powder. "It was good that she agreed to tag along for this particular job, her enhanced senses would come in handy."

Cian placed a cup of coffee down in front of the man and settled down with his own while his wife handled the cash register and Natsu's payment. "Those two women are up in room three. Just head up the stairs over at the left wall there when you're ready."

"Thanks." The pinkette took a sip of his coffee and glanced between the couple. "Have either of you heard anything about the case, rumours or the likes?"

"Whatever it is, it seems to wander around the city. The cases of fatigue and exhaustion are always only reported during the day." Makenna replied in a slightly scratchy morning voice. She took the third cup of coffee that Cian had made and had a small sip to wet her throat and clean up her voice into her natural melodic lilting brogue. "From what I've heard, the victims seem to be incredibly tight-lipped about it. Beyond claiming overwork, which is nonsense due to the country's labour laws protecting worker rights. That's somethin' that the mining companies have come out and cited too, along with the other businesses."

"The ones who seem to be exhausted from overwork tend to cause accidents too. Mick – a bloke I know who's a supervisor over at Moore's – was tellin' me that one of the eejits fell asleep behind the controls of a drill-rig. Fecker nearly reamed some poor bugger."

"It'll probably be pointless for me to go and check the workplaces then. I doubt whatever is causing this would be there. I'm guessing it's something that hunts at night." The gentle opening and closing of a door above him drew his attention to the ceiling and he followed the soft clacking footsteps over to the stairs where Lelyanna peaked down over the railing, her face lighting up when she spotted him and she hurried the rest of the way down the stairs and over to him.

"You had no trouble finding us, Na-" She cut herself off with a glance at the Inn's owners but when Natsu gave her a small smile and a nod, she decided to finish her sentence with a soft voice. "Natsu?"

"Yeah, no trouble at all. I just locked onto you two with my senses and tracked you down." Natsu returned his attention to Cian but his eyes lingered on Makenna for a moment along the way; she seemed mesmerised by the priestess' slightly shimmering eyes. "Did Natsumi tell you I had arrived?"

"No." Lelyanna shook her head lightly and sat on the stool beside the man. "She's decided to sleep some more. Apparently, she woke up a few times during the night and wanted to catch up on it before we head out. And, well… we both found out that she's a heavy sleeper, surprisingly." She left the unlike you unsaid. While Natsu was a very light sleeper by nature of the life he had lived, Natsumi seemed to sleep like a rock. "I just had a feeling that you were here, so I came down."

"A woman's intuition is a strange and powerful thing." Cian chuckled softly. "Best not to question it, eh?"

"Don't I know it." Natsu murmured in agreement. He stared into the murky liquid in his mug then raised his eyes to the mirrored wall behind the man. "How long have you two been married? I noticed the rings."

"Goin' on three years now." Cian smiled at his wife. "Our anniversary is in a few weeks' time."

"Do you have a special someone, Báleygr?" Makenna asked. She eyed the man curiously but in the corner of her eye she saw that Lelyanna's attention had snapped to her, silently pleading for her to drop it but Natsu answered anyway, in a quiet but gentle voice.

"I had a wife who was carrying our child but she died a few months ago, fighting alongside me in battle. Lost a bunch of others too. Enough people that I had to relocate to Magnolia to get away from it all."

"I'm so-"

"Don't be." Natsu cut the woman off as politely as he could as his gaze slowly shifted to the woman. "I've started to put that life behind me. And thankfully, I've made a few friends that are helping me with that process." He tilted his head slightly towards the priestess next to him, singling her out as one of the people. "Anna for example. Salamander – Natsumi too."

Lelyanna's cheeks darkened at the sudden pet-name and a pleasant tingle grew in her chest. She shifted lightly on her stool and lifted her gaze to the man then shifted it to the Innkeepers. "I've been helping him get settled into his new life in Magnolia. And, well, we teamed up because it allows me to safely help others outside of the city, say if they were injured. He's also taught me a lot of practical medical knowledge that I can use alongside my healing magic."

"Anyway, thank you for the coffee." Natsu finished off his drink and placed the mug down on the counter as he rose from the stool. "I better go kick the sleepyhead out of the bed and drag her out into the city, we've got a job to do, after all."

"If we hear any more rumours about your case then we'll be sure to pass them on." Cian called out as the man walked up the stairs, followed closely by the woman dressed in white.

"Anna?" Lelyanna asked in a bashful hush after they had secluded themselves in their bedroom. She glanced at the sleeping pinkette who was sprawled out on the queen-sized bed, snoring quietly.

"You don't like it?"

"No, I mean yes. Yes, I like it!" The priestess fidgeted a little and met the man's abyssal eyes. "It was just unexpected." She tucked her hair behind her right ear which was a brilliant red. "But… only you get to call me that."

"Oh?" Natsu leaned down a little and brought their faces closer as he gave her a devilishly playful smile. "Maybe I should think of a more embarrassing name then. Anna in public and something else in private?"

"'Something Else' is a horrible name, Natsu." Lelyanna tried to keep her face straight but the corners of her mouth twitched up into a sweet smile. "Anna will do for now, maybe Ann too whenever you feel like it. I like both."

"Ann sounds a bit too mature; Anna suits the cute young woman that you are. Are you okay with Annie?"

"They're all fine." The priestess poked her tongue out cheekily at what felt like a joke from the way the man had said it and she took his hand, leading him over to the bed. "I think we should give it a few hours before we start to poke around, purely to let things open up." She looked over her shoulder at him with a sweet smile as they crossed the room before turning to face him at the foot of the bed and she softened her voice for her gentle plea. "I'm feeling a little cold up here, could you hold me, please?"

"Yeah, I can." Natsu moved around to the left of the bed and pushed Natsumi's legs together then carefully rolled the woman onto her side. His efforts earned him an annoyed grumble but the sleeping woman complied with his repositioning and shifted into a comfortable position on her side. "Damn, like a fucking log… Lie down between us and you shouldn't have any issue with being cold."

"Alright." Lelyanna slipped out of her peacoat and placed it down over the back of the nearby chair sat in front of the desk. She helped the pinkette out of his heavy coat and returned to the bed where she crawled across the top until she reached the centre and laid down on her side with her back facing the man, waiting for him to spoon her.

"You know, you've changed a fair bit since we first met." Natsu mused quietly as he pressed up against the woman's back and allowed her to rest her head on his right arm while he draped his left arm around her waist.

"Hm, while I knew I could trust you. I just wasn't at the point where I could show you anything other than the archbishop that everyone else sees. But as I've become more comfortable with you, I've been able to let down my walls and show you a side of me I would've never considered showing you back then. And be comfortable enough to let you see the barest form of me, without anything being hidden away. Even to the point where I wouldn't mind becoming more intimate with you." The priestess half turned in his arms and gave the man a gentle smile. "And I mean that in more ways than just cuddling like we are."

"Yes, I think I got that loud and clear earlier when you decided to suck on my thumb while alluding to wanting to suck on my cock."

"Stop poking my tush and p-p…" Lelyanna blushed softly and brought her lips closer to the man's ear while lowering her voice to a whisper. "My pussy with your cock while we're cuddling and maybe I'll stop turning into a horny mess." She shook her head lightly and looked down at herself. "I'm supposed to be a priestess, not some floozie who takes every opportunity to clamp a man's arm between her sacks of fat."

"From what I understand, there's nothing in your tenets that prevent you from being with someone or engaging in sexual acts with them." Natsu said softly, watching as the woman turned in his arms to face him and conform her body to his. "I mean come on, you worship a goddess of fertility and nature. I'm sure she's more than happy that her followers are making use of the bodies she's blessed them with."

"Mm." The young woman glanced away from the man as her blush darkened slightly. "She actually actively encourages it, well, she's does that to me in person and in my mind since I met you. But as you said, it's clear in her tenets that we're allowed to be as sexually active as we want to. As long as we're true to our own personal beliefs then we can have whoever we want inside us. We're allowed to have whatever kind of relationship with want; be it romantic or just a, um, 'mutually beneficial friendship', if you get my meaning. It's just that I've been so protected and sheltered by the church due to her blessing that I haven't had this kind of opportunity before… So, I don't know what to do or what I'm feeling…"

"The only thing you know for real is that you're feeling horny." Natsu laughed softly. "It sounds like you want to become fuck-buddies."

"I guess that's one way to put it…" Lelyanna buried her red face into the man's chest and sighed softly. "You make me both happy and horny, and I get the urge to do naughty things with you… But I don't still feel a romantic connection with you… and I know you don't have one with me because your heart has only ever belonged to Lucy. But, um… If it's fine with you, then maybe we could indulge in our lust together?"

"It'll probably be good for me too." Natsu admitted quietly. "Not only will it help blow off some stress and be a good distraction, but it'll help me mentally too."

Lelyanna slowly lifted her head off the man's chest and smiled gratefully. "You know, I'm happy that I have someone I can be honest with and talk about my desires and whatnot without being judged."

"I mean, there isn't really anything you could tell me that would be worse than what I've heard from people where I come from." Natsu laughed softly. "I'm sure I can tell you some things that would cause you to question my sanity."

"You already have. Remember how I reacted when you told me you jumped from airships higher than any cloud in the skies. If Ceres didn't hand you to me directly, I'd have probably thought you were clinically insane. But I guess you did jump from so high in the skies."

"Heh, I suppose you've got me there." Natsu brought his hand up and checked his watch on the underside of his left wrist. "We'll give it to a little bit after nine-thirty before we head out into the city. That should allow places to open and settle into work."

"Sounds good to me, I get more time to be encased in warmth." Lelyanna gently pushed her considerably lighter body against the man and rolled him onto his back, allowing her to climb atop him and straddle his hips with a playful grin before she laid down on his broad chest. "For having such a firm body, you're surprisingly comfortable."

"Enjoy it while you can, we've got work to do."

"Believe me, I am." Lelyanna closed her eyes and tucked her head under the man's chin. She didn't plan on falling asleep like Natsumi had, but a little peaceful rest would help her get through the day.

That's this chapter's rewrite complete. There was an increase of 400 words but changes had been made throughout the chapter with some areas being completely redone.

The airship s based on a Hindenburg-like design of a rigid airship with internal bladders that hold the lifting gas. It has internal decks and shares a similar theme to cruise ships. This one was on the smaller side of things, but there are larger airships that are designed to travel between nations and even out across seas like the Hindenburg.

Edelweiss is a snowy city that grew from a mining town, which still has active mines that provide a significant portion of the city's income. I called it such because Edelweiss is a white mountain flower that grows up in the Alps and Carpathian Mountains, which ties in with the city in the snowy mountains.

I hope you have enjoyed the chapter, I'll see you in the next one.
