The warm sun, the cool breeze and the hustle and bustle of the of a town getting ready for a festival it was enough for anyone to get in to a good mood, and Alex is no exception. As he reached the town once again he slowed to allow himself to just marvel at the town. He had missed the the festival last year do to being out on a job, thus he was glad he was in town to be able to enjoy it this year, he had even mad sure to take a few high paying jobs in advance so he didn't have to worry about money for the foreseeable future.

 As he walked through town he had to call or waved greetings to a fair amount of the town, his an old habit of keeping on good terms with his contacts from his wandering days spilling out of control, seeing as the whole town was a contact from his point of view. The fact that he was wearing only a tank top, his coat slung over his shoulder, made it hard to go unnoticed by a fair portion of the town anyway, but he wasn't complaining. When he finally reached the guild hall he was humming some random tune to himself, stepping through the door he heard before he saw the commotion over near the request board and it was his choice to go see what the commotion was all about that saved him from getting run over by Verin who came blasting through the doors the very second Alex had stepped free from them. Alex visibly winced when Verin ran face first in to the wall [i]'wonder what's got him in such a rush'[/i] Alex wondered to himself as he changed course to go talk to the younger mage, the request board commotion no longer seeming as interesting.

[B]"It's true! There's a Wyvern in East Forest!!"[/b]

[b]"Now, that is something"[/b] Alex said as he stepped out from the cover of the crowed guild hall, mulling the information over in his head. He had seen Wyverns before, fought them a time or two while wondering, but that was when he was younger. [b]"I take it that's what had you hauling in here so quickly you needed the wall to help slow down"[/b] He continued jovially. Alex always enjoyed getting the more stoic or "cool" of his comrades to either blush or crack a smile, as long as it was when there wasn't any significant danger anyway. [b]"Not that I blame ya' seen plenty a people do similar things on a first encounter with a Wyvern."[/b] He finished with a small smile. Inside he was running numbers, of a sort, trying to gauge the danger that Magnolia town faced. He figured they were safe for a while, as long as Verin hadn't done something to piss of the Wyvern and even then they had time before it would come looking for payback, they were smart creatures, unfortunately.
