Night began to fall and everyone who had partied began to leave. Mira left with her siblings, Irene left with Erza with an unconscious Cana on her back, Master Makarov along with Laxus and Silver left together, Grey and Juvia left to there shared apartment. Gajeel and Levy, and Meredy also ended up joining Mira and her siblings. This only left Ultear, Minerva, DiMaria and Mavis in the guild. Master Mavis had her own personal room in the guild so she didn't have to move or go anywhere. As for the others between Ultear and Minerva they were going to carry an unconscious Natsu to one of the beds that the guild provided but DiMaria simply picked him up in a bridal position. She carried him like it was nothing, like a sack of potatoes. All the girls were a surprised to see this, but yet again DiMaria is nearly the same size as Natsu and twice as tall as they are, Mavis being the smallest of the group.

DiMaria: If Natsu ever sees that I'm carrying him like a bride he will for sure flip out.

She says with a giggle. All the girls are watching as she carries the young dragon up to the room. They notice her eyes sparkle when she looks at him, her cheeks softly blush as well. Ultear, Minerva and Mavis all follow her to the rooms.

Mavis: I know it isn't much but at least it's something.

Minerva: It's good enough thank you.

DiMaria: It's just to sleep anyways so we'll be good.

She says as she places Natsu down on the bed. The others also sit down on the surrounding beds. They each begin to take off there gear, and begin to get comfortable. Right after they are all comfortable, Ultear offers to bring everyone some water to soothes the liquor most of them consumed a few hours ago. Master Mavis chugs her water down, Minerva drinks half, and Ultear takes a small sip.

Mavis: That was some good water! Thanks Ultear.

Ultear: No worries.

She looks around the room and sees that both DiMaria and Minerva are quiet, and Mavis is laying in her bed with her arms raised up. She decides to start off the conversation to get to know each other better.

Ultear: So how long has everyone known Natsu for?

They all look towards her, including Mavis.

DiMaria: I think Mavis and I know Natsu the longest.

Ultear: Oh? Is that true first Master?

Mavis: Yes. I've known Natsu since he was just a little dragon of the age of 12. He was just a young boy back then. To see him turn into the man he has become today is impressive. Strong, smart, kind...

All three girls wait to see if Mavis is going to say one final thing about him.

Mavis: Unlike any of you with the exception of maybe DiMaria San. Natsu is vengeful. He won't tell anyone, nor would he blatantly say it. But as they, say actions speak louder then words.

Ultear: Are you referring to how he killed God and Satan?

Mavis nods her head.

DiMaria: I'm pretty sure any of us would've done the same if any of you would have seen your parents get killed right in front of you.

Mavis: I'm not saying any of us would do it. I'm sure all of us here would want some kind of retribution. All I'm saying is that unlike any of us here. Natsu would go to far greater lengths to protect those he loves. He's on thin ice between letting the darkness within him take over and the light.

Minerva: But isn't that type of balance a good thing?

Everyone turns to look at Minerva as she spoke.
