When Isshum asked about the Dragon Slayer that Hana had mentioned, she completely disregarded the strange feeling and brightened up. [color=deeppink]"Oh, he is an amazing man. Solid like a rock but gentle like the breeze. His composure is almost as awe-inspiring as his power. He can be a bit too pragmatic at times and he doesn't like talking much, but he's the kind of person that can always be depended on. Perhaps that is why... Isshum? Where'd you go?"[/color] Hana had stopped walking as she began to rant on, completely spacing out and failing to notice that the white-haired boy had continued on and likely missed every word she said. [color=deeppink]"Oh. Well, another time perhaps."[/color]

It wasn't until Hana arrived at the guild hall herself that she deduced what the strange feeling was. A very familiar white-haired girl, a woman now, was bothering her guildmates. Stacy Kaiser had worked for the Magic Council in the past and was even trained by [i]three[/i] Wizard Saints. Hana was very familiar with her, especially considering she had worked under Ajax Thera in the past. But, years ago during the war, Stacy had been sided with the Magic Council, much like Ajax initially was. However she remained loyal to them, even after the corruption was brought to light and war declared on the Council. Hana didn't know why she had made that decision in the past, and she didn't know why Stacy was here now, among the people who had defeated her years before...

[color=paleturquoise]"Aw, you don't have to be like that,"[/color] Stacy complained as Revan refused to buy her drinks. [color=paleturquoise]"Think of it like being for old times' sake. I mean, I was way too young to drink in the old times but still. Didn't stop me much."[/color] Regardless of her protests it seemed that the half-demon wasn't going to help her any. With a sigh she resigned herself from trying. He had mentioned Alice. Stacy had only met her once before, and it was when Alice was saving her life from injuries received losing a fight against Fairy Tail. Despite being the enemy the woman was compassionate enough to heal her. In a way Stacy was grateful, though since then she had heard that her former comrades had tortured Alice. Perhaps the association with the old Magic Council would reflect poorly on Alice's view of Stacy post-torture.

But that wouldn't stop Stacy from trying to bother her. Just as Stacy approached, her arms already stretched out to grasp Alice in (most likely an inappropriate) embrace, the older woman declared that she had business to attend to and that they could socialize later. [color=paleturquoise]"Hey, I know what it's like to be busy. I just happen to not be busy anymore. Probably won't be for a while."[/color] With a laugh she redirected her attention to the man named Matt. Stacy couldn't recall if she really knew him personally, but she certainly knew of him. [color=paleturquoise]"Oh, you're a big guy. I don't have a very good track record of getting along with big guys, but maybe you're actually a nice guy who will give me booze and all that,"[/color] Stacy greeted, approaching Matt. [color=paleturquoise]"I don't have any cash right now, but I can pay you back later. I promise."[/color]

[color=deeppink]"Hello Stacy."[/color] The familiar voice startled the pale woman, prompting her to turn around and face Hana with a look of fear. But after affirming that she was by herself she let out a sigh of relief. [color=deeppink]"Never thought I would see you around here. How have you been lately?"[/color] Stacy wiped some sweat off her forehead before grinning with confidence. [color=paleturquoise]"Nothing much. Just got fired. Figured I'd bother you guys, because in all honesty I would probably be arrested by my former co-workers if I bothered non-mages. You scared me a bit there, Hana. I've only ever seen you before with Ajax, and... well... he's terrifying. Good to see that he isn't here."[/color] [color=deeppink]"I'm sorry you lost your job at the Council. Why were you fired?"[/color] [color=paleturquoise]"Eh, I got drunk and accidentally ripped off someone's shirt. Erza was super pissed. It might've been her favorite shirt or something, I dunno."[/color] [color=deeppink]"You know, we can help you with your drinking problem if you-"[/color] [color=paleturquoise]"Nah, I'm good. Life's pretty fun this way."[/color]

Now Stacy turned back to Matt. [color=paleturquoise]"So, about those drinks?"[/color] With a disappointed sigh, Hana turned away and walked deeper into the guild hall. She took a seat at one of the empty tables, crossed her legs, and removed a small book from a pouch on her waist. [color=deeppink]"I feel sorry for that girl,"[/color] Hana muttered to herself, opening the book to the bookmarked page and beginning to read from where she left off. The book had no title on the cover, but if one were to pry it they would find the words seemed to be about meditation and spirituality.
