Fate Decides

Lucy the Bold

Lucy tapped her red nail on her lower lip, her other hand at her hip and she scanned over the board. "Hah!" Her face lit up and she snatched a flier down, eyes re-reading it just to be sure.

Recovery of porcelain doll requested. Stolen by dark mage. 200,000 Jewel plus silver key. See Hespia Rowland In Oshiban

Perfect, even somewhat low rated. The reward amount sort of surprised her but 2 months rent plus some extra for food and maybe even a new bathing suit since swimming season was coming and a silver key? Hell yeah.

Lucy carried the request to Mira and plunked it down looking around the semi quiet guild. It was less busy than it had been this morning by a good bit. Cana was tipping back something but otherwise the bar was deserted.

"Huh...where do suppose Levy is?" She asked, usually the little script mage would be sitting somewhere reading. Lucy knew Levy had gone to check out a couple book stores that were supposed to have gotten some new books in but that was hours ago.

The Eclipse was due to start darkening the sky around 4 and it was almost 2 now. She had planned to see if Levy wanted to join her on the job but shrugged it off. Levy was good at getting wrapped up at bookstores.

"So Luce...I saw tall dark and metallic follow you out this morning...anything steamy to report?" Cana asked, giving Lucy a sly smile.

Lucy smiled to herself, eyelids dipping as she recalled kissing the Iron Dragon Slayer in her stairwell. Holy sweet Mavis that had been hot.

The mans lips were something else...and he tasted so damn good. She'd hand her hand cupping that impressive...

"Oh girl if you don't tell me what that look is about I may have to resort to violence, I am not kidding." Cana said breaking Lucy out of her instant daydream.

The blonde shook her head with a smirk "Sorry, I've been having as many wet DAYdreams as the ones I get at night recently...especially since I got a taste of Iron in the stairwell outside my apartment..." she said slowly.

Cana grinned "Yes! Fuck! Maybe the cards...well no, shit he's not who I had in mind though... oh who the hell cares...how much of a taste?"

Lucy sighed "Not much, he had Lily with him, they were heading out for a job, but he gave me a kiss that curled my toes before he left, kind of promised we weren't done...but he's going to be gone for....shit, however long the damn mating season is I guess..." Lucy sagged on the barstool, Fuck my life she thought.

Cana cackled "Well damn! Still it's a start, he is so not who I would have picked for you either, crazy! But you get you some of that muscle-bound metal as soon as he gets back. I think Levy said it would be like a week or so...wonder where she is anyway, she said she'd be back a little after lunch..."

Lucy shrugged "She was going to check out some bookstores that got new books in today, you know how often that means she will lose all track of time. I'm sure she'll be back before the Eclipse."

The blonde looked up at the clock over the bar "Crap, I need to make the train, I want to get to Oshiban tonight. Say Hi to Levy for me, tell her I'm sorry I missed out on watching the eclipse but I have to get rent money!"

With a parting wave and a smile to Mira Lucy hopped off her stool and shouldered her bag before hurrying from the Guild Hall. The train she needed would be coming in minutes so she broke into a run as soon as she got outside.

Lucy was still trying to catch her breath when she plopped down on the cushioned seat of the compartment she'd managed to get. She was hoping to catch a nap, she hadn't gotten much sleep the last few nights, waking panting, screaming, moaning and all together worked up hot and bothered every night for nearly a solid week now.
