For a split second everyone in the hall froze, and Alumina took the small pause to sweep her one visible eye over everyone. There were several Mages here, and she could feel plenty of power coming off of all of them. But there were a few she could feel immense power coming off of, and she quickly made a mental note to try and not piss those few off.

The pinkette suddenly had a very haunted look in his eyes at the mention of Lucy's murder, and Alumina flinched at the sheer horror she could feel coming off of him so suddenly. He blinked a few times and returned to his suspicious feelings toward Alumina, and she stiffened when she saw his nose twitch and his eyes narrowed.

"You weren't anywhere near Lucy when she died." He growled. "I would have-"

Alumina raised a hand and gave him a sad smile.

"You would have what? Seen me? Scented me? Followed my scent because your first thought would have been, that I was Lucy's killer?" Alumina asked him and the pinkette faltered for a minute, as if he wouldn't have thought she would figure out his suspicions so quickly. She was aware of Loke glancing at her in surprise from the corner of her eye.

"I-I didn't.." The pinkette stammered and again Alumina cut him off with a shake of her head, still smiling sadly at him.

"You didn't have to. It's alright anyway, Loke thought the same thing too, so I don't blame you. It's only natural for you all to be suspicious of someone who shows up with all of Lucy's keys, not knowing who I am, or why I have them." Alumina told him. "It's ok for you to be wary of me, all I ask is that you listen to what I have to say."

Everything in the hall went deadly silent at her words, everyone's eyes were narrowed as they thought about what she said. Alumina noticed Loke cast a surprised look at the pinkette, who she could see was looking a little disturbed by the sudden turn of events.

But she looked away from the Lion Spirit toward the balcony hanging over the bar. She couldn't see anyone, but she had the feeling that there was somebody there. She looked ahead when footsteps echoed around the silent hall, and the crowd parted to reveal a small very old man walking toward her.

He halted just a few paces in front of her, and looked her over slowly with a neutral expression and arms crossed behind his back. Alumina looked down at him calmly, while everyone around them watched in utter silence, thy wanted to know what the old man was going to say.

"I don't hear any lie in your voice." The old man said at length. "I hear only honesty in it, and I trust that Loke has good reason to accept you as his new Master. He is a member of my guild, and I owe it to him to listen to your story." The old man told her and Alumina nodded stiffly, as he waved a hand to the side. "So tell us your story." He said and Alumina took a deep breath.

She began to retell everything that she had already explained to everyone of her newly contracted Spirits. The reactions around the hall were mixed, and she could see the genuine shock when she told everyone Mavis had been speaking with her. The reaction to Mavis' name was so extreme, Alumina had to pause in her story.

"Why does everyone look so shocked when I said Mavis?" Alumina asked.

"Only people who bear the Guild's Insignia should be able to see and hear her." A red-head told her quietly, where the armored Mage stood at the front of the assembled crowd. Alumina blinked in surprise, and cast a quick questioning glance at Loke.
