(I think it would be better to say he smells 'familiar'. :P) As the door to the guildhall opened, Ansel immediately noticed that the place was quite lively. There were plenty of people about. Talking, having drinks, arguing, and some other things. It looked more like a gathering of friends than just a place wizards went to, to get jobs. And right away one guy came up to them. A white scarf, red hair, a vest, and his fairy tail mark visible on his shoulder. Just like the rumours had said. So right away Ansel figured this guy was Natsu Dragneel. Before he had the chance to say anything though Taunie was already pushing him towards the back of the building, talking about getting her reward. He had almost forgotten that this woman was actually just doing a job, so of course there would be payment. "No need to push, geez..." The man grumbled as he started walking. Though as he did, now he was the target of a few questions. "I never called myself a spirit. I just let people believe what they wanted." He answered casually. Sure, it had been quite useful for him to keep that rumour going, but still. Before he could even ask about what Natsu's statement was about though, Taunie intervened again. Ansel sighed, shrugging a little. "We can probably talk all we want once I met this guild master of yours. I was planning on staying a day or two anyway." It was only then that Valier finally made his presence known. "Stop ignoring me you red-haired bastard!" The cat exclaimed, kicking Natsu in the shin. Though it didn't really hurt of course. The boy looked down, surprise in his eyes as he saw whom had kicked him. "What?! Another cat? You mean Happy isn't the only one?!" "That Valier. My friend, and yes, a cat. You mean you know one too?" Ansel replied, picking up Valier and putting him on his shoulders.
