Loke lay quietly within his chambers, sprawled out across his bed as he stared idly at the ceiling. Though it wasn't a ceiling at all, more a tapestry of the stars and the eternal realm of the Celestials. Brilliant lights danced through the heavens, looking around bright stars before ascending off into the distance, further than his eyes could see. It was truly a beautiful place and he surely missed it's comfort. As he stared aimlessly he seemed to be lost in thought. Thoughts of Earth and though he wouldn't admit it outright he thought of Lucy, The Celestial Wizard who took control of his key and he graciously abided.

His thoughts began to drift though a swift knock at his door caught his attention. Loke swung himself to a seated position on his bed, pushing his fingers through his thick orange hair into something resembling a hair do. "Yes, come in." he called out simply. Pushing himself to his feet he brushed his hands across his untucked dress shirt, flattening the wrinkles in attempt to be presentable.

Katsu stood before the large Mission board located at the top balcony with the higher ranked missions lay pinned to the board; most rather dry and dirty from negligence. His dark crimson eyes slowly scanned over each mission. He needed money, quite badly. His rent was coming up and sadly it did not pay for itself no matter how loud he prayed. His eye brow raised faintly as he came across a rather simple looking mission with a rather handsome reward. It was an S-rank though he knew he would have little trouble. How hard could it be to killed a Forest Golem terrorizing a village. If there were a damsel in distress it might make quite the heroic journey. He plucked the piece of paper from the wall, the four corners tearing free of the push pins. He gave the paper a few folds before stuffing it into a hidden pocket within his lavish kimono.

Katsu lifted his heavy bag and slung it over his shoulder; it was going to be a long trip and he would bring along the necessities. Unbeknowngst to all it was mostly filled with food. Katsu slowly made his way down the stares. Most people didn't notice the man inside the guild hall simply for the fact he was rather silent compared to the chaos Natsu and Gray set forth in their competitions. Katsu cracked a smile as he looked upon the two, in a simple arm wrestling match yet fuming with fire and ice. He continued towards the exit without a word. Though he preferred having a companion for his missions he knew S-ranked missions might require him to use his full potential and he didn't like witnesses. Though maybe if someone were to come along it might relieve the effort he would have to put forth and not have to go that far.
