"Perverts" Evergreen scowled, while looking back to the guard wall.

"Yes well the rest of the people of Galway shouldn't be like that" Mirajane commented.

"And how do you know that?" Freed asked, while dodging around an aloof couple walking by.

"I've heard of Galway a little while ago from one of my photographers, it's a place where a lot of the higher ups in life live. Like some members of the royal family. They can't afford to ruin their business, their family name or their lifestyle by acting like perverted hounds". Mirajane said, directing the latter part to Evergreen. The last orange rays of the sun snuffed out at the end of the comment, leaving the team the only occupants of the street as the neat houses and building slowly winked on their lights.

"And yet they are willing to live among the under world and the grand magic council" Evergreen bit off as they moved past thermal day spas scattered around the outside of the city's web structure.

"I'd say that they are not aware of their presence actually" Wendy said.

"That makes sense" Bickslow added "when information isn't known it can't be shared".

"Which makes me wonder why the captain didn't share any of this information with other people" Natsu said looking left and right.

"He is protecting his son" Evergreen said before she could stop herself. Every single member of the group turned to look at her. "He doesn't want anything to happen to him that's all" Evergreen finished hastily, her cheeks burning scarlet. A smooth hand clasped her own comfortingly, looking up, Wendy's big soft eyes looked into her own before she squeezed her hand once and let go. "Wendy" Evergreen said.

"Yes Evergreen?".

"You said you need to stop moving so you can use the Milky-way technique, right?".

"Yes, that's right".

"Well then" Evergreen began, looking around briefly to check if anyone else was in the street. "This street is empty, do you think you could use it now?". Mirajane stepped eagerly towards Wendy, hope glistening in her eyes at Evergreen's request.

"I can" Wendy said determinedly. She kneeled down on the pristine cobbled street, her hands clenched together tightly as if to pray, magic quickly buzzing in the air.

"Wait!" Laxus said, his voice echoing slightly down the street. Evergreen and Mirajane quickly looked up, a questioning look in Evergreen's eyes and an angry glare in Mirajane's.

"What do you mean wait, Laxus?!" Mirajane harshly bit out while glancing superstitiously at the wonderful oriental buildings next to them. A hum of noise and music echoing out of all of them from their occupants. "Nobody is coming in or out of the street and buildings, we're not going to be caught?!".

"Are you willing to risk your brother's life on that bet?" Laxus said straight faced.

"Laxus!" Freed gasped.

Outrage and fury etched into Mirajane's gorgeous face, a similar expression of disbelief and fear breaking out on Evergreen's. "How dare you" Mirajane hissed, "that is exactly why we are doing it now, so we can get to him quicker! And why are you telling us to stop? being here is a risk itself". Wendy nervously stood up from the ground and stood next to Evergreen, watching nervously at the bitter exchange in front of her.

"Don't you see Mira!" Laxus growled back. "We are in the middle of a city that is completely ridden with magic council members! If we cast any spell without protection they are going to know about it!" A tight knot began to ball in Evergreen's stomach as she thought of the options, we could use the spell now and hope we don't get caught, or we can find a secure place and hope Elfman can wait a little longer. God dammit I don't want to wait!. "The captain himself said to stick to the alias, and a model standing in the middle of the street with a large group and a girl using sky dragon magic. That is not exactly unnoticeable" Laxus finished.
