Invel: Esdeath you made it. How'd it go?

Esdeath just walks into the warehouse ignoring her brother. Invel is a bit surprised by this, but he is glad his sister isn't hurt.

Invel: Albedo..is everything alright?

Albedo stops and looks towards him.

Albedo: We're fine. Just...leave us alone for a bit okay? We're...we're tired.

She leaves him making her way to her quarters. Shinra and Dabi appear right after and see how different both women are acting.

Shinra: Is everything alright with them?

Invel: Hard to tell.

Dabi: Surprising hearing you say that. Don't you usually have the answers for everything?

Invel just looks towards Dabi as he says it mockingly.

Shinra: Invel san..

Invel: What is it?

Shinra: Not to sound like I'm afraid or anything. But are we really going to invade the island?

Invel: Yes, It's Lord Zeref's orders.

Dabi: Weren't you against an invasion?

Invel: I was.

Dabi: What changed all of a sudden?

Right after he says this Shalltear also appears.

Shalltear: You boys might want to keep your voices down I can hear you from the hall.

Invel: Apologies for that Shalltear.

Shalltear: Why are you apologizing? Dabi is right. What changed all of a sudden? You were against invasion from the beginning it was written all over your face. I know you Invel. You're not one to chose violence unless you are pushed to the limit. Yes you are strong and smart that is what made you commander of the Spriggan 12..but it was Because you weren't afraid to go against Zeref's orders. What happened three nights ago? You had blood coming out of your mouth and your uniform was torn?

Invel: Shalltear!

He says in a very loud voice. This makes Shalltear flinch at how he spoke to her.

Invel: That is enough questioning. Your role isn't to question my authority nor Lord Zeref's. Your role is to follow orders. That goes for you too Dabi and Shinra.

All three are taken back by his sudden change in attitude. Who can blame Invel for having such a drastic change. After what occurred between Zeref and him still has him shaken.

Invel: Go finish preparations. We either invade tomorrow or the day after.

Back in Kyoto everyone arrives in Yasaka's Palace being greeted by the maids and butlers in disguised. Yasaka let's then know that they want to be alone because there are important matters that they need to discuss.

Mavis: So what is it that you needed to talk to me about?

Yasaka: Not me. But him.

She points to her right as both Mavis and Lee look in that direction and spot two hooded individuals.

Mavis: Umm hello?

Both of them lower there hoodies. Mavis and Lee are both surprised to see who it is under the hood.

Mavis: Natsu?!

Lee: Máster?!

Natsu: Máster Mavis it's so good to see who...
