Following closely behind Sting through the streets of Crocus, people pushing to the sides, allowing myself and the five around me to continue to trek our way through the streets. Their whispers all the same, even for my average hearing, they aren't whispering more like talking in hushed voices. Dragon Slayer duo. Sabertooth. New girl. They'll win. All causing me to internally roll my eyes. My arm receives a light nudge causing my eyes to lock with Rogue's for a second, his head dipping down before looking straight again.
I release a deep breathed sigh. At Stings side are our three exceeds. Frosch jumping along, Lector grinning proudly towards his partner as they exchange words and finally, Violet, walking closely beside Frosch with her arms crossed over her chest, from my angle, seeing her eyes narrowed and darting around. With them ahead, at my side is no-other than Rogue. His eyes staring straight ahead but glancing between Frosch and me from time to time.
Clicking my tongue, we abruptly stop. "Pfft, they aren't that strong." I raise an eyebrow as Rogue and I take a step back. Eyes staring straight towards us as someone steps forth. Roll my eyes at the attempt of power this civilian has, shows weakness due to the slight shake of his arms and legs along with the tweak of his eyes. The crowd that gathering slowly beginning to chant the repetition of the word "Fight." The three exceeds coming and standing off to the side as Sting quickly and swiftly knocks the challenger to the ground. His arms raised in victory before stamping his foot onto man's face, holding him down.
"We always have to be stopped during a stroll... Hmph... It's beginning to become irritating." I mumble lightly, glancing at Rogue from the corner of my eyes seeing him nod lightly in agreement. "You!" I slowly raise my head, only to tilt it to the side. "Natsu Dragneel." 'Fairytail... Core members...'

"They've supposedly returned." I raise an eyebrow. Taking deep breathes as we sit in the outskirts of town, the wind picking up harshly around us, whipping my hair back and forth causing the strands to become more frizzy than usual. "So Sting will be more of a handful?" He shrugs his shoulders. Frosch and Violet sitting on my lap, my arms around them holding them in place as the bobble their heads proving them to be a little sleepy. "Are you happy for their return?" He shrugs his shoulders again.
"Mhm... You know why." I peer down at the exceeds in my lap. "I guess I do. Although, that still doesn't answer my question Rogue." He sighs lightly as I slowly shuffle closer to him. "Perhaps, your confused by it all?" Slowly placing Frosch into his lap as he wraps her in his cloak. Myself doing the same with Violet. Nodding lightly at my question. He stands up, lending me a hand before pulling me up. The clouds above look soon to open up. Both of us slowly beginning to walk back into the town, the late night causing the streets to be emptied as small splashes of cold water lands on my cheeks, trailing down and leaving slimy trails along my skin.
"So, you're in the games this year?" He nods his head faintly, his posture stiff with an expressionless mask covering his eyes like a cloud, making his piercing red eyes seem dull. "You?" I shake my head. "I don't want my magic to be known, and besides, Jiemma didn't put me up, nor do I want him knowing it." I roll my neck, hearing a faint crack before relaxing it. "You know that I hate my stay in Sabertooth. I'd be gone if it weren't for the jewels." He nods lightly.
"Let's get this over with."

I shake my head faintly. Ignoring the flashback that crept up into my mind. Looking down I see Violet staring up at me before pointing straight up. Catching her drift, I nod, herself knowing I wasn't listening to the conversation. My eyes catching sight of two humans from Fairytail and an exceed. Nodding in her direction, I step forward. "Sting. It is time to return back to the inn. If we walk now, we will make it back before the designated time. Besides. If we hold back the little Fairy's any longer, even if they run, they will be disqualified for not being back at their inn in time as I'm pretty sure their inn isn't on this side of Crocus." I keep my voice masked with an icy hint, my eyes clashing with their own before I turn around. "Till the games, Natsu-san!" Passing Rogue, I pick up Violet. Being closely followed and mirrored by Rogue.
Internally laughing as I hear them three yelling before sprinting off in the opposite direction. "Can't wait to fight him!" I raise an eyebrow as Sting stands on my left, Rogue on my right and closer to me than Sting. "Is it to prove your strength, Sting?" I ask, with a monotone voice. He nods, a smirk plastered on his face, "I'll prove my strength and keep my promise." I nod faintly, not too sure from the last piece of the sentence.
We arrive at the inn with around 10 minutes to spare before the midnight rule. Sting wandering off towards the room the contenders share as Rogue follows me towards my own. Entering the room, I see my suitcase planted on the bedside, my smaller bag on the counter. The bathroom door slightly ajar as I set Violet on the bed. Frosch being placed beside her. "Yes, she can stay here tonight. Lector can as well if needs be." I quickly state, raising my hands before he speaks.
The corners of his lips twitching up before I lightly pat his shoulder before rubbing a thumb over his cheek. "Win." He nods as I place a key in his hand, closing his fingers over it "For when you and Sting are finished. Come and get the two as you probably will want them back." He nods again, rolling his shoulders before trekking out of the room. Waving at me before closing the door, hearing a click, I sigh. Fixing two of the four pillows on the double bed before gently laying the exceeds on the pillows for comfort. A knock causing my head to slowly tilt towards the door as it opens slightly, Lector stepping in before closing it behind him. I nod to him, before he climbs onto the bed, struggling before I lift him up, placing him beside the other two.
Opening my suitcase, I pull out a wool woven blanket embedded pieces of black materials over it. Opening it up, tucking it over the three who have 'dropped dead into a peaceful sleep.' A bright light shining through the window as I fix the blanket. The same mascot of the games appearing in a hologram in the sky. 'Don't wake them.' I internally groan. Opening the balcony door, I step out, closing the blinds which blocks most the light, beside the small rays that seep through the cracks in the blinds before closing over the door, stopping a draft from cooling down the room.
Placing my hands on the railing. I glance to the side. The rules being announced. Sabertooth's team standing at the ready, with steps in front of them towards the elimination round that has appeared in the sky. Sky Labyrinth. "Yo, Is Lector with you!?" I nod lightly. "He's inside. Sleeping." Keeping the same voice I normally have. He nods before glancing ahead again. The group of five setting off in a quick sprint forward up the steps.
Rogue's eyes locking with mine, nodding his head before I hold up thumbs and index fingers forming a W by pressing the tip of my thumbs together and holding it up. His head turning around and his body pushing himself further from my sign. Rogue, Sting, Orga, Rufus and Yukino, one of the guild's newest members in the past few months. If I heard correctly, she's a celestial wizard with... Three gold keys? Mhm. Not a clue. Their bodies vanish into the labyrinth.
Stepping back inside, I lock the door, laying down on the bed, I sigh, not bothering to cover myself with the covers. "Revelli?" I tilt my head to the side, seeing Violet sitting up. "Yes, Violet?" I asked in a hushed voice. Her paws rubbing her eyes as she sits up, Lector and Frosch stirring lightly. "You should be sleeping." She shakes her head. "I should be asking you the same." I sigh. "Well, I can't. I'm waiting for Rogue to return." A faint smile graces her lips before she rubs the teeth that peek over her mouth. "Have you both made it official between you both?" I shake my head.
"We can't. You know if news gets out. Jiemma will most likely shred us both, well, most likely me." She sighs before laying back down. "Maybe one day we can, Violet... But, it will take years for that to happen. Maybe even centuries."
