Amused by the fact that the two started to clean up, Master Jamie chuckled lightly. [color=f26522]"I find that people often do what they least expect of themselves, simply because they are in a new situation, or in a situation that gives them the chance to do the unpredictable. In any case, you really don't have to clean up"[/color] but by then it seemed too late. 

Jamie shrugged, looking to Damian [color=f26522]"Well, bounty hunters aren't always that subtle. Probably found the door locked, and just slammed it open, causing this destruction"[/color] she said, leaning over and picking up the torn pieces of the wanted poster. [color=f26522]"how foolish they must have been to think to face the entire guild. For we would go to the aid of our fellows. The past is the past, after all, and yet, it still comes back to bite us in the backside. I imagine the bounty hunter got caught up in what happened to Sasha, Lazarus and Jarvis. Which means, he or she is in edolas as well"[/color]

Edo-Jarvis stayed with Liana, as Edo-Jamie followed Karn out, and chuckled at his comment that it would be hard to move it. [color=f7941d]"It's actually pretty light Just awkward. Most of the Lacrima this size have been smashed as worthless, but Fairy Tail managed to hide and keep this one safe. When they...fell apart, it was lost. Jarvis found the Lacrima, and we have kept it safe since. You never know when something might be useful"[/color] He looked back at Edo-Mayt and said, when Mayat had finished talking, [color=f7941d]"Liana has been on jobs, and be amongst her people. She is typically well liked, even when we have had to cover her face.  However, seeing her with us, as herself, will be good for her. I do not think we have time to wait a year. These earthlanders need to be returned to their world, after all"[/color]

Penny couldn't argue with that. As it was probably correct, that Sayuri was there. She gave a heavy sigh and nodded, starting to climb the steps again. [color=f7976a]"It couldn't just be easy, could it? Get the book and get out. So simple. And then it turned into a massive battle, and I'm still so confused as to what happened. And now this. What the hell kind of person do they have here? Or creature, or whatever is causing that weird energy?"[/color] She leaned against the wall as she walked, maintaining her balancing. She was bent slightly, her stomach muscles sore. 

[center][b]Sasha[/b][/center]

Sasha sat there, slightly stunned, her head dropped into her hands. So intent on following his heart, even if he got hurt. Her tears stung the abrasions on her hands, and she remembered she hadn't even looked at them. Not that it mattered. 

Her chest hurt. Each breath seemed eternal, and hard to bring in. 

The problem with caring for someone, with letting them in, was that you opened yourself up to pain and suffering, because they could hurt you. She had been happy, hadn't she? Happy just being in the guild having friends? Why did she have to reach for more, to have more, and open herself up to the pain?

Her satchel had fallen off when Lazarus had picked her up. The book had fallen out slightly, the some-what badly constructed fish that had more meaning to it then it seemed had tumbled out, and Sasha sighed, picking it up. Mayt had given it to her. Because she had been nice, and accepted him. She ran her fingers over the somewhat rough surface. 

You opened yourself up to the pain, because it was worth it. The connections, the friendships, the family. Part of her didn't trust Lazarus, that part of her expecting him to leave again, like he had before. That part of her hadn't forgiven him. She wasn't just hurting herself with that, and that made her feel so much more guilty, and hurting. 

Frozen Heart. 

Maybe that's what she was. 

Her fingers ran over her still warm lips from the kiss, and she sighed. She put the fish down, back in her satchel, and she closed her eyes again. How was she meant to get passed this? How could she?

She rose, going over to the door, and hesitating, before opening the door. It didn't surprise her that Lazarus was there. How long had it been? Seconds, minutes? Hours? She didn't know. Time had just seemed to freeze. She sighed softly, and knelt down. [color=6ecff6]"I trust you"[/color] she said softly, genuinely, [color=6ecff6]"And if you trust your counter part, then I guess I do too"[/color]

How could he respond to that? Was there any possible way? He drew in a breath, and let it out, looking to Amelia, he started to speak, and then stopped. Such a hard life, for one so young. [color=aba000]"We don't get to chose our parents, but if we're lucky, we get parents we can believe in. If we aren't...we get to chose people we consider to be our parents, not matter about blood"[/color]
