Tsubasa and Black Ninja: Fairy Tail: Next Generation

Bodo looked up at Trex when he suggested that he stay at the guild and hang around with the other three Exceeds there. He shook his head and leaned against Trex, "No, I want to go around with you. If you get a clue to where Gyastu is, I want to be there."

Zelia looekd at Trex, who once Bodo finished talking looked at her. She smiled at him, trying not to laugh. How sweet it was seeing such an adorable little creature interact with the not so sweet Trex. She leaned back against the cart, as Bodo had stolen her spot leaning against Trex. He looked ahead saying they'd figure out what to do when they had to. She stifled a giggle, he was so awkward. It was kind of cute. She quickly pushed the thought out of her head and nodded, "Sound good."

When he asked her about Flynn and Skye, she shook her head, "No. But I would assume that they'll just grab a car. They aren't too expensive and it will be pretty good with the two of them splitting the cost."
She looked ahead of them as well, as they travelled along. She pursed her lips, "How far do you think we'll get before we have to stop... We're starting out earlier than we did last time and we did stop really early that night... We should be able to cover some good ground today."

She glanced at Trex and Bodo, "Not to mention we don't have to worry about protecting a box of chocolates."

Flynn smiled at the woman and thanked her as she handed him the map. He was about to turn and leave when Skye asked about a list of types of magic. He looked at her slightly confused, he wondered what she was wanting that for. He handed the map back and the woman added route to this list. He thanked her and turned away. He walked a little ways away from the information booth then looked at her. He smiled, "Are you going to go off to that area? You can take the map if you want.... It sounded like it was harder to get to... I'll probably be there a while anyways..." He shrugged when she asked how much he thought they would have on the keys, "I don't know... Depends on how good they are at gathering information... I mean they only have a few things on Lost Magic... so I think they probably won't have a lot... but I'll find what they have."

The Making of a New Queen

Anastasia nodded her head, "I used to try and read when I could with Mama... Books are rather expensive though... But I'm thankful for it, not many people even know how to read... I think it would been far more embarrassing if I didn't know how to read yesterday... With Gerald being so adimant that I do."

She began to flick through one of the books, "I'm not used to reading this kind of... literature, though. It uses larger words and sometimes seems to talk itself in circles," she shook her head, "The books we read were simple and made up. I'm not used to instructions and information like there is in these ones... It's strange," she said with a laugh. She looked up at Samsul and smiled, "What's your favourite book? Mama told me I used to make her read secret garden over and over again."

The Making of a New Queen

Millie frowned slightly when the two of them left. Samsul had been standing, it seemed he wasn't as comfortable with the new laid back princess as she had thought. Too bad, he always seemed to be a little wound up, relaxing would be good for him.

Anastasia walked out the door that Samsul had opened for her. They walked to the dining hall in relative silence, neither having much to say. She took a seat at the usual table and laid out the two books she was working her way through. She smiled at Samsul, "Do you read much? Or is all of your time taken up by your guard duties?"

The Making of a New Queen

Millie smiled at Samsul as he sat back down. He was getting awfully relaxed. Normally, she figured he would choose to stand anyways. She gave him a nodded in return before she slipped into the closet with the other two girls. It wasn't long before they came back out, Anastasia wearing a simple deep red dress. She walked over to Samsul and grabbed her books, smiling, "Shall we go get some breakfast? If I keep reading maybe I'll come across more stange words."

The Making of a New Queen

Anastasia slowly nodded her head and quickly wrote the definition, hoping she spelt it all right. She looked at the next word on her list. She pursed her lips and struggled slightly as she read it, she was sure this was one of the one's that she had misspelt, "Fractious."

The two of them continued like that until the sun was in the sky and Millie, along with Arabella walked into the room. She smiled at the both of them, "Oh, good morning, Samsul, we were curious as to why you weren't at the door," She looked to the Princess, "Would you like us to fetch you some breakfast, Anastasia."

Ana jumped to her feet, "No, no," she looked down and Samsul, "Samsul and I were just finishing up anyways. I should get changed though... into something comfortable for riding, we are going to go and retrieve my dress sometime today."

Millie nodded and the two girls took her into the closet. Millie looked back at him, "You're fine, we'll keep her in here till she is clothed."

Tsubasa and Black Ninja: Fairy Tail: Next Generation

Zelia laughed a little and Trex spoke about the possible reactions to leaving the horses and his apartment. All she could imagine were these two horses sitting in his living room waiting to be taken to his childhood home. She shook her head when he asked about the cart, "Sadly, no. He was asking too much for it, going with the lower price got the horses away from him sooner... I wanted to get it to prevent him from just buying more horses but I think he is known well enough that no one will sell them to him... Hopefully."

She sighed slightly and looked back at the cart, "Maybe we have break it 'accidentally' in some way.... It isn't like we'd have to continue to work with him anymore. Not now that we own these two."

Zelia was a bit surprised by Trex's sudden change in topic, asking whether they were hungry. She looked at him and noticed that he was looking down at the little Exceed. She smirked, well wasn't that sweet. When asked to retrieve the food Bodo hopped to his feet and scurried to the man's bag. Trex's looked up at Zelia, their eyes connecting. She just kept smiling at him. She knew he worried from time to time about her but it was nice to see him care a little about something else as well. She reached out and patted his shoulder before she dropped her arm as Bodo returned. He handed them each a piece of jerky, "Oops... I grabbed three," Zelia smiled, "Well, that one can be for you. Feel free to eat with us while you are travelling with us."

Bodo smiled and bit into the jerky, "Thank you, I was hungry."

Zelia nibbled at her own piece of jerky. She wasn't too hungry herself but she didn't want that Exceed feeling as if it were doing anything wrong. Zelia looked at Trex, "So.... What if Natsu and them don't know anything?"
~~~~~~~~~~~
Flynn nodded, "Ya, the people of Edolas apparently worshiped them because they have magic within them rather than them having holder magic like all the people. Natsu and them told some crazy stories about that place," He laughed a little, "I kind of would like to meet my Edolas counter part..."

When they arrived at the library, Flynn showed them his bag and allowed them to check it over. He threw his keys in there as well before they applied the charm to ensure his keys would be safe. When he was asked to see his tattoo, he sighed slightly and looked at Skye, "If there is ever a time I regret the positioning of my tattoo it is when they need to inspect it," with that he lifted his shirt up enough to allow the guard to look at the tattoo on his rib cage. Once he was done, he slapped a bracelet on Flynn and the two of them walked into the library. Flynn took a moment to take everything in before Skye asked him where they should go. He thought about it then shrugged, "They probably have this place organized well, so... Magic... celestial... rare.... That would probably give us the most information. I'm sure they have something here... Amber had some information on it all after all. She has a colour key but none of them are really allowed to blab too much about each other..." He ran a hand through his hair, "Let's see if we can find old information or rare information on celestial keys... heck even supposedly fake information..."

The Making of a New Queen

Anastasia nodded her head when he offered to help her pass the time by helping her with the words that she didn't understand. She waved for him to come into her room and set up a second chair by the window before she curled up onto her own. She grabbed her little list of words and kept it to close to herself. Most of the words she had written down after spotting them and were written right out of the book. Others she tried to find after stumbling across them and failing to find them, believed to have spelt them horribly. Not to mention her writing was particularly neat. She looked at her list of words and pursed her lips, as she grabbed her pencil, meaning to write them down. Finally, she decided it was best to just start from the beginning, "Hypocrisy..."

The Making of a New Queen

Anastasia looked at him when he asked her why she was up. She shrugged, "I woke up in the wee hours of the morning and couldn't get back to sleep. So, I took it upon myself to do some reading..." She yawned, "I finished the books on etiquette some hours ago and," She held up the book that covered what it took to be a ruler and waved it slightly, "I'm a good three quarters through this one now... Although..." She blushed slightly, "I've had to write some of the words down.... I didn't really understand them, so I'll have to ask Gerald about them later," she scratched the back of her head, "We didn't really have school back home... My mama taught me how to read and well... she didn't get much of an education either. I like it when I can do it.... but I have a pretty long list.."

She brushed her hair out of her eyes and held her hands behind her back, assuming the position that she had seen many of the guards take while guarding things, "How is it that you manage to just stand like this for hours?" She looked down and wiggled her toes, "Don't your feet get tired?"

The Making of a New Queen

Anastasia laughed a little when Samsul said she had taken her out of his comfort zone enough in one day to beat her mother in the amount of years she had known him. She nodded her head, "Good... Good... Glad to know I'm not the only one," she leaned on her hand and looked at him, "Thanks for being here... Even if you don't want to."

Eric returned and Ana thanked him as he placed their food in front of him. The conversation seemed to lighten from there but was less frequent.
~~~~~~~~
Anastasia sat in her nightgown at her bedroom window. She had woken in the early morning and hadn't managed to get back to sleep. Instead, she grabbed a candle and read her book as she watched the stars disappeared and the sun began to rise. Curled up in her chair, Anastasia read until she heard shuffling outside her door along with hush voice. The guard of her rooms had changed once not to long ago, the man murmuring something about having to sleep. She figured it must now be Samsul returning to his post, the shift seemed too short for any other explanation. She walked over to her door and pulled it open, smiling at him, "Good morning."

The Making of a New Queen

Anastasia looked over her shoulder when Samsul looked up at Eric. She smiled at him, glad to hear him call her Anastasia. She would have to pick who she wanted to call her by her first name, she didn't need anyone getting in troubled at her expense. She turned back around once Eric left and nodded at Samsul's reasoning for having asked someone else to watch her, "Reason enough... I don't see how anyone could deny the Queen of her wishes."

She watched him for a moment, then looked down at the table, "You seem to like being around my mother... You don't seem the same around me... Do you wish you could be watching over her still?"
