Ansel rolled his eyes when Taunie claimed he was with her. Sure he was promised a free meal, and she was leading him to Fairy Tail. But to imply they were a theme went a bit too far for him. Not that it mattered for now. He had only agreed to see the guild master so far. Nothing else. He decided to just let it be, as right now he had something else to focus his attention on. Namely seeing Taunie's skills in action.

What happened next caught him quite by surprise though. "Eight chains at once..." Valier mused, a look of surprise on his face as well. "Impressive...even most skilled mages would have trouble casting that many spells at once." Indeed, most mages kept to one or two spells at a time. Maybe three at most. Though maybe they were wrong. Maybe it wasn't six spells, but two spells casting multiple chains. Either way, it was impressive. Ansel dropped to the ground, crossing his legs and enjoying the show. At first he thought she might need some help, but that worry was clearly unwarranted. 

The fight was over rather quickly though. The enemy group was just a scouting party of cronies, but still it was interesting to watch. Once Taunie was finished she turned to him again and implied they should keep on going like what had just happened wasn't even worth a second thought. He grinned, getting to his feet again and nodded. "Guess so. I had heard rumours of Fairy tail being Fiore's number one guild when it comes to power. And if it has more mages like you those rumours are likely to be true. I might even be interested in duelling you at some point, if you're up for it..." Just like Natsu and Gajeel he wanted to test his strength whenever possible. And this woman that came to pick him up out of nowhere felt like she would be an interesting opponent. Though that was something for another time, if ever. As for all he knew he would be on the road again in a few days. Clearly Taunie intended for him to join the guild, but that wasn't the kind of decision he would make on a whim.
