Hope's P. O. V:

I sit there, grinning like a Cheshire Cat as Lucy stares at me with a dumbstruck expression and Wendy's face is redder than Erza's hair colour, her brown eyes huge, blinking her eyes rapidly after I'd finished my explanation of the dragon mare mark.

"I think you've scared them, imotou-chan," Says Alec.

"Well, they wanted to know, so I told them," I shrug a shoulder as I lean back in my seat.

"Still, poor Wendy," Mutters the older Foster with an apologetic glance to her.

"I-It's okay, Alec. We were just surprised, that's all," Stammers Lucy with a sheepish smile. "I'm also amazed you'd be able to do that with the mate mark." This was directed at me.

"It's like that with all Dragon Slayers and their mates," I wink at her, startling Lucy. I glance out the doors to see the sun is setting. I sigh as I stand up. "This has been fun and all, but I think I'll turn in early tonight."

"You okay, Hope?" Asks Gray with concern lacing his voice as he sits next to my brother.

I nod as I reply, "Yeah. Just... tired. That's all. I'll see you guys tomorrow."

I start to leave but hear Alec stand up as he says, "I'll come with you. Especially since you never know if the Akatsuki do decide to show up."

I glance back at him as we say goodbye to our teammates, then we exit the guild hall for home. It was silent as we walk, but it was a comfortable silence.

I blink my eyes when two people, a blue haired woman with caramel brown eyes, with what looks like a paper toss in her hair, and a dark haired man, his hair in a ponytail, with bright blue eyes stand before us. I narrow my eyes at the cloud mark on the right side of the man's neck.
