“Natsu’s just a pain in the ass.” Gray muttered into his arms as he looked down at them. As much as he wanted to say he hated the guy, he knew that he didn’t.

Her question about his stripping caused him to raise his gaze to her. It was a common question he got asked but not a common one he answered depending on who was asking. Seeing as she was now a member of Fairy Tail she could probably hear it, “My master who taught me my magic trained me in the mountains where, in order to control our abilities we were trained embrace the cold and in doing so we stripped down to our underwear and practiced.” His head rose and fell with a nod before his broad shoulders shrugged, “Nothing’s better than training in your environment and because of that I can handle ice magic better than most ice mages but… I do tend to strip unconsciously before a fight.” His cheeks turned a small shade of pink as he looked out the window waiting for his face to cool down in embarrassment.

When she asked if they would have a plan, his eyes twinkled with excitement. He was one for a plan, that’s for sure. “I function best with a plan. We should find the thieves hide out first, survey the area and look for points of entry. Once we find how to get in and how many there are we’ll set up a plan of attack to take them down and get them to the station. If we take them there than we came come back and search the place for the necklace; what do you think?”
