Reared hand kneaded briefly against the sweaty forehead, beads of sweat tumbling down a perfectly unscathed face as slender fingers gently clawed through loose and misplaced strands. Eyes that could match the allure of the ocean or sky - peered off into the distant village, surrounded by towering mountains and beautiful wood-land. She remembered this place clearly, just like she had remembered every other village, town or city. But, this, was a place she could truly call home. Before the humans betrayed her, and before she understood what darkness lay hidden in this broken world - the Mountain people had been like family to her. "Would you like to remind me why we came all the way out here?" irritation tinged in the voice below her feet, orangey glaring up at her with those large red eyes. She didn't say a single word, but, motioned the adjustment of her cloak, continuing onward into the entrance of the once tiny and overlooked civilzation.

Before, this place was nothing. There was no tall wooden homes or stores selling bread, meat or sake. This all began with a family. A group of people that came together, lost and afraid of the world, and looking for a place to feel welcome. To feel safe and secure. Natsu recalled she was just like them, and how right they were about the theories of the future. Although not everything was precise, their dreams of making this hidden home a place for many more to live in had most definitely come true. Thump thump thump. Booted feet loitered through the still dusty path, barely evading the traffic of people as the scent of food and the voices of people flooded into the air. Something alien-like stood out in the village. Something she had not seen before. As if a castle, the Midi-like structure glimmered in a flurry of eye catching shades, hesitantly pulling her forward, a strain in the neck composing. Is this a guild? Lashes fluttered downward to the entrance, unsure of what would await inside. A thousand questions stirred within her mind, and instead of finding the reasons on why not to go within the grand building - she sauntered in without a single word. Orangey padded out infront of her, fluffed nine-tails convulsing slightly - as if at amuse by the place they were suddenly in.

alright

As ocean blues - tinged barely by lavender - wandered over the inside of the tower, a sudden voice caught her off guard. She turned over into the direction of the one who spoke, obviously grasping all of her attention as he walked over with an almost enticing semblance that wavered around him. It wasn't the way he looked, or dressed. It was just the way he carried himself. Confusion briefly teased at her features before her nose twitched against his own scent, also finding it slightly familiar. "You.." a pause, "Were you also apart of Sabertooth?" despite the almost dull tone of voice, no friendliness made way to those large captivating eyes. For such a pretty girl, it was a shame she chose not to smile. Natsu was so used to hiding her emotions and putting up a mask, that she had forgotten what it was like to truly be herself.

After all, the cold deameanour had not originally been her in the very beginning. She was a curious, kind and welcoming girl. And now, all positivity had been reduced to a persona so cold that the room seemed the quaver against the tone of her voice. Quiet like snow. Kurama frowned up at Ardere, a low growl rumbling in his throat as he showed off his perfectly white teeth - long fluffy tails raised out behind him. The fur on his back bristled, and the vermilion haired girl raised her foot casually off to the side, as if "mistakenly" stepping on one of his tails - a loud yelp shrilling into the air. "You can call me Evelyn, and this is Kurama," lifting her foot off of the tail, orangey now twitching in absolute pain against the wooden floor - she continued, "Pay no mind to him, he just doesn't like humans." emotionless gaze loitered into his direction once more.

"I came to visit." she deadpanned, a single hand itching at the nape of her neck, "This village used to be my home, so, I wasn't really expecting a guild to be formed here." it was uncertain as to wether she was irritated or not. Someone without so much as an expression or tone to the feelings that lay locked away within them - became a rather frustrating issue. Even the little demon fox knew that well enough after only a month of traveling with her. "It makes me happy, to see this place is doing well." happy? Kurama looked up, one crimson eye twitching. If you're happy then smile! Dropping her hand back by her side, she sauntered just by Ardere, peering off and towards the stairs that lead to the second floor. "Mind telling me more about this Infinity Hydra?" looking over her shoulder, the demon-fox barely seized the twinkle of curiousity that dashed across her eyes. It was so utterly fleeting, that he could clearly compare it to the falling stars that lit up the night sky. Tch! So annoying!
