To Talk of Tongues and Tails

Lucy's P.O.V.

The first to arrive were Levy and Wendy, with Carla close at heel.

"Love what you've done with the place." Levy comments offhandedly, having noticed the changes immediately. The tables had been moved so a rough circular area around the bed. The books and the bookcase had been dusted, the floor swept, the windows polished, everything remorselessly cleaned.

"Thanks." Lucy says, if only by reaction. "Your the first people to get here."

"So how is (M/n)?" Carla asks, equally impressed by the change of manner. "How is he at being a house guest?

Erza walks over to the group, having been in the other room, noticeably close to the kitchen door. "Actually, he did almost all of the work himself. Voluntarily, at that."

"Yeah, he seemed eager to please." Lucy says, awkwardly smiling.

"Wasn't that nice of him."Levy says, sarcasm evident in her voice.

Before Lucy can ask about that, a knock sounded from the door, and Gray and Laxus enter, setting down their bags down near the others.

"Hey." Gray says, before noticing that one person was missing from the reunion. "Wheres (M/n)?"

Your P.O.V.

After hearing Lucy and the others exchange pleasantries, you remembered that you had promised to make a dinner of sorts, so time was waning. You look back at the options you have. Spices, assorted veggies and fruit, rice, so you had plenty of choices. You see strawberries as well as basic cake mix, and based on how she had acted that morning, Erza had no small affection for cake. So that would earn some manner of trust.

And to start, a few sandwiches should suffice. You didn't need to go overboard the first night. That would seem desperate. 

As you were about to start, there came a second knock. Assuming that people had traveled in groups when you had split up, then everyone was accounted for. So it would be a good time to make your presence known.

As you walk into the main room, indeed everyone was here. Gray had a blue short sleeve on (probably not for long), a white jacket, and black jeans. Laxus, on the other hand, had a black sleeveless shirt, lined with fur, and a violet pair of pants. He was lacking his usual coat, but you didn't think that would be a problem. Levy had an sleeveless orange top on, with black leggings. And finally Wendy, with a jade dress that was styled into dragon scales, along with Carla, and everyone was here.

"It's a regular reunion special." You say, letting a grin come into play, ignoring the looks of distrust from Levy and Erza. "So. Where would you guys like to start?"

"How about some basic information." Levy starts, before Erza continues, "Where are you from?, Who are your parents?, What made you join the guild?"

"I'm from a large city/town, where it was always crowded. My mother was an actress of sorts, and my father was a blacksmith and both could use magic. And I wanted to join the guild to expand my interests." You answer quickly, and was mostly truthful. If you did it much more, it might become permanent.

"Something I want to know," Gray says, having been waiting for a chance to speak."Was how you hit Natsu with his own attack, without directly reflecting it."

You had to admire his attention to detail, so it was so he deserved a truth. "All things require energy, even magic. I just re purpose that energy to my skills. I can even channel it to other people so they can use it. I'm basically a multi-tool with a soul." A simple explanation, for a skill that was anything but.

"Oh, so you are a sort of Support mage?" Wendy asks, her face lighting up. Ah, youth, you think to yourself. So eager.

"Almost. I take an opponents attacks, take the energy powering it, and shift it into an allies attack." You say, explaining the method you had used in earlier times. "It has proven a useful weapon countless times. Gotten me out of rough spots most others wouldn't have had a hope of escaping."
