Trex frowned slightly. He had received one or two letters early in the war but the squad he had been with had been a lot on the move and deep in Seven territory so that hadn't been surprising. They hadn't had a lot of correspondence let alone communication while in Seven territory. Not only had it been hard to track them down but it hadn't been wanted for the enemy to know where they were at any given moment. He smiled gratefully at Maryjane as she set a drink in front of him.

"Welcome back, Trex. Glad you made it safe," she said giving him a smile though there was a hint of sadness in her eyes. Not every Fairy Tail wizard had made it back. It was mostly some of the newer ones but still... Every member held a place in her heart. She headed off, knowing the team wanted to get caught up. 

Trex took a drink and then looked at Flynn. "I wonder if the Master knows where she is." The war had ended about a three weeks ago. It had only taken him so long to get back due to where he had been. Though there was a possibility that she could have been deployed in a area that made her return a bit longer, it didn't seem likely. Not from what Flynn had said and what her initial letters had mentioned. The war hadn't gone on to long for the wizards to be reassigned much. "You don't think she's MIA do you?" He asked. 

He didn't care about the slight fact the questions made him look concerned. He was concerned. She was a teammate and...maybe he did feel something more. He usually didn't dwell on the feelings he had. They were teammates and he had been content to leave it be. But war and battle changes things. Especially considering he hadn't seen her in some time. In the past, they had fought side by side against monsters. And though he might have been slightly worried at times, he had always had her back - and her him - so it hadn't been as difficult.

Ryzo frowned slightly as he noted the lack of strength behind the throw. His quick eyes examined her. She didn't look to good. Her hands were rough, she looked a bit gaunt - like she hadn't eaten in awhile. How long had she been here? Why hadn't she left the cavern? It didn't make sense to sit here while there were caverns to explore. Sure, there was a trickle of water here to drink but she looked like she hadn't left this room in some time. He frowned and turned, a heavy suspecion hitting him. Sure enough, the entrance he had came through was gone replaced with cave wall. Magic. His eyes narrowed. He would have to examine it more intently but first...

He looked back at Zelia. Ignoring the fact she told him to sit elsewhere he headed over and sat down next to her. She was weak. Though she hadn't seem pleased she really didn't attack him. "How long have you been here?" He asked quietly. There was some concern in his voice.

Reaching into his cloak he pulled out something wrapped in cloth. Unwrapping it partly, he withdrew some dried meat of some kind. He was from Caelum. It was always a good idea to carry some supplies on you in case of emergency. Putting the majority of it back, he held it out to Zelia. "It's perfectly fine," he said not knowing how she'd respond. "If I wanted you dead, wouldn't I just let you starve?" There was a slight hint of sarcasm in his tone. But then again, he didn't blame her lack of trust. He had been the one responsible for keeping her asleep that one time. Something he had not regretted.

He leaned against the cave wall and glanced around the small room. It wasn't that big. It wasn't too bad except you couldn't escape and apparently there was no food in here. Thankfully, there was water. Otherwise, he might have ran across Zelia's corpse. And then followed her in death within a few antagonizing days.
