"Ah…" Cobra's eye flitted from Jellal to Sorano, and he felt that brush of destruction as he tried to keep a straight face. What was almost as concerning was Jellal's description of the place. Had there been strange magical energy? Cobra wondered if it was actually just him and Lucy and that he'd somehow made everything more suspicious.
"And like I said, I mean it is weird as hell that a place like that even exists. But, like…at least they're not scamming people or being creepy. I say let them be. They don't even see the faces of anyone who enters, so I'm not sure how they could monitor people. They're probably not even within a half mile of the place, I know I wouldn't be, given the lacrima screen and all." If Sorano knew Love-It and Fix-It were only a mere wall away, would she laugh or would she be disgusted? Cobra never wanted to know.
Jellal still appeared perturbed. "I'd rather not leave anything to chance." Sorano scoffed. "Tomorrow, I'm thinking me and Erik would investigate a bit more…he could see if the people there have, er, pure intentions or not."
Cobra's heart nearly stopped at Jellal's suggestion. This was it. If he couldn't find a way to overturn, or at least downplay Jellal's suspicions, it was a one-way ticket to Laughingstockville.
Before he could speak out an objection, a different voice sounded from behind him. "And why do you feel the need to go along too?"
