Micahel hesitated, putting his map away, and studying the girl he’d approached… She had to be his age, or round-abouts, and seemed a little bit… distant? From the rest of this guild, which is probably why he approached her. He shook his head at her words, "N-n-no, I'm n-not. I'm apart of D-dragon F-fang. I... I heard about this expedition, and t-t-thought I'd c-c-come along... I'm M-m-m-michael" How did she play and talk at the same time? Gods, he had trouble even speaking and [i]walking[/i] at the same time, let alone doing two such intricate tasks. He squirmed slightly, insecurity causing him to glance away, and wonder why he was here to begin with. “Um… “ [hr][hr] Sasha tilted her head, studying the man before her. He seemed so angry... so out of place, and seemed to want to control everything. What had happened to him, to lead him to this sort of life? Who had hurt him, that he didn't want to give anyone else power? How strange... She let him talk himself out. "Given that I believe you were talking with Master Jamie, you do know the main goal of our mission. Patrick may have turned me in this direction, but I worked hard to come up with research, facts, and the like. You're welcome to look through my Journals, and sketchpad. They will tell you all you wish to know. However" She paused a moment, thoughtful, "If you're asking me to see the future, I apologise, that is not where my talents lie. Does not knowing the future stop this? No, like anything else, we go and we do our best. I want to help the island, Mr Astra. That is my goal. To help the island." She fell silent another moment or two, before continuing, “I believe that they are coming from the island. Most, if not all, of the disasters have been the result of magic, and I traced the origin to the sea, and in the direction of where the island was last reported to be. Right now, it does not matter to me… I am going to that island, and if you disagree, then I’d love to see you stop me” She said, her tone rather passionate, her expression serious. “I will protect the island. I may not bare the mark, but I will fight for my Fairy Tail heritage, and right now, that’s this island.” [hr][hr] Penny was silent, watching Damien go for a moment before following him. She leaped down off the roof without fear, and with a quick blast of power, she slowed her fall and landed quite gracefully. She followed him, silent still. She honestly, even know, had no idea why she’d been made an S class. She’d done what was required of her… and that was it. She sighed softly, entering the room, but didn’t want to sit, instead she leaned against the wall, shifting slightly. She didn’t know what to say, and she looked away. Even now, two months later, it still hurt. And probably would forever. “There’s too much going on” She said softly, “Everywhere” [hr][hr] Jamie turned slightly at the sense of something... potentially deadly happening, spying Ariel with another girl, and in that moment, a tremendous amount of magic entered the air, and Jamie was moving towards the small group, even as the girl seemed to disappear. Or rather, be absorbed by Ariel. Jamie cursed lightly. There was still so much she didn’t understand… so much she needed to understand, and something had gone on here that wasn’t anything she had ever seen. And yet, it was also something she had seen plenty of times. Just, different. Jamie flicked a glance towards Jarvis, but didn’t stop her movement towards Ariel, “Give her some space” Jamie said at once, “Don’t use magic.” [@CirusArvennicus][@Joshua Tamashii][@Demon Shinobi][@YipeeXD][@Crimson Raven][@Zarkun][@Burthstone] [@hatakekuro][@t2wave]
