Ibara's appearance in Magnolia was somewhat bizarre and had trended over the past few days. In fact, he had worked up quite the reputation for himself as an egotistical mad-man with a fiery temper. Obviously this was quite the contrary with Ibara aside from the fiery part, in fact Ibara valued his calm collectedness at the worst of times, he prided himself on it. Today was not the day for being calm nor collected. Any man, woman or child whom dared gaze at Ibara this late in the day would meet a rather shocking sight, in fact, I don't think anyone had seen anything quite like it. From head to toe, Ibara's body was charred, his hair was in cinders, blackened at the tip while his clothes were torn to shreds from the sheer heat that Ibara's body had undergone in such a short expanse of time.

"Perfect for you, they told me. Damn those Sabertooth Wizards, they think they're so damn funny. I'm just as stupid as they are for complying with a job they gave me without even elaborating on what I was doing. A human furnace, perfect for me, you'd think.. I wish I'd seen the damn size of the furnace before nonchalantly strolling into the jobs with my arms behind my back! Grr..“ Ibara's grumbling attracted quite the attention while he hobbled up the street, half-naked and steaming. It was getting late and Ibara desperately wished to return to the Guild not only to payback those who tricked him but to receive a well-deserved shower too.

Ibara was so preoccupied with his own self-pity that he didn't even notice the onlookers whom he passed, nor those that were on a predetermined crash course that could only result in one outcome.

"Ooft!“ was the sound that Ibara made upon colliding with a complete and utter stranger in the middle of no where. He'd really done it this time.

"Hey! Watch where you're~“ Ibara stopped himself mid-sentence only to realise this collision was entirely his fault. It took him a moment to actually conceptualize what happened, clearly posing as a human furnace had taken a lot more out of him than it should have as his already slow comprehensive ability began to dissolve alongside his sanity. Ibara's firm hand positioned itself firmly against his facial features in a rather hearty facepalm before he slowly rose to his feet, readjusting his disassembled clothing so that it covered the essentials once more.

"That was my fault. I'm usually not one to apologise but considering the bizarre events of today, I can say without regrets that I'm sorry. My vision is kind've hazy at the mo~“

His sentence was cut off by the boy's comment on his eyes. Setting aside coincidence at the similarities between the two statements, Ibara had learned to be slightly intolerable when it came to remarks about his appearance. Dropping the attempted façade of an apologetic nature, Ibara stormed up to the man regardless of how harmless his intentions were by the comment. His hands furled themselves into fists while his eyes emblazoned themselves with miniature flames, whether they were real or not was up to the beholder to decide.

"Listen buddy. I don't take comments about my appearance lightly, in fact, I inherited them from my step father, y'know? Y'better watch what you say next unless you want a fistful of flame!“

Ibara regretted saying that to an innocent bystander whom had merely been on the receiving end of his extremely hot-headed nature but Ibara couldn't help who he was. Comments were comments no matter how light-hearted they were, he would deal with them all the same way.

Ibara detested his attitude towards strangers sometimes. He hated himself for it. He'd lashed out at an innocent person for getting in the way of his blazed stupor and then proceeded to suffer the consequences for it. The young wizard shook his head vigorously and placed his hands on his hips. His eyes diverted from the now apologetic man towards the sky this time. His eyelids closed in on themselves and he breathed a heavy sigh of relief that the man had taken his comment as rather jovial rather than seriously. If he'd responded arrogantly or rather aggressively, like any other man would have if they weren't mildly in check, then this situation would have definitely erupted into a fight.

"I'm the one who should be sorry. First off, I shouldn't have bumped into you, doing so many things at once really gets to your head and let's just say I was a little off track. Hell, I don't even live here, I should be back at Sabertooth by now. I'm sorry you had to witness that, I know my step dad wouldn't be proud of that attitude. Let's start fresh, I'm Ibara.“

He introduced himself shortly after Keiji began his rather apologetic rampant. Maybe he was intimidated by Ibara's attitude or his appearance, that tended to throw people off at the best of times. He dismissed the thought and listened intently to the man's words. Though still consistently in a daze from the aforementioned job, a few words still managed to collectively gather in his head so he was able to deduce what the man was ultimately trying to say. A place to stay, a lack of hope and the man's name.. Keiji Kato.

If it weren't for Ibara's previous experiences of Magnolia from other jobs aside from this one, he would've already been on his way by now but having noticed Keiji's pretty desperate plea for help at the predicament he found himself in, Ibara was obligated to help, especially after the events from before. To make matters worse, Keiji handed over a gift, a multicoloured rock which was the epitome of beautiful to behold.

"You're a nice guy, Keiji. Keep the stone, I don't deserve something like that. Besides we'll be even when I help you out of the little hole you've found yourself in.“ Ibara grinned and began to walk in the opposite direction of where he came. He had a vague sense of where he was going and could only hope he'd ultimately end up in the right place.

Naturally he expected Keiji to follow as they both arrived at an inn only a few hundred metres up the street from where they'd originally encountered eachother. "This is the place, hotshot.“ Ibara had scrounged the nickname from the various taints of red that dotted Keiji's features. He was proud of it as he stepped inside the inn. His gentlemanly side shown through as he held the door open for Keiji and gestured with a sweeping arm across the interior. The building was simple enough, a bar lined the back wall while tables and chairs dotted the area infront. At the corner of the room, opposite the bar, stood a spiral staircase which presumably led up to rooms for guests. A few eyes trained themselves on the newcomers while the owner of the inn gave them a hearty smile. Ibara only hoped this would be enough to repay him for the predicament from earlier.

Keiji made himself at home with both the inn and Ibara in a matter of seconds. Not only had he strode into the institute with great confidence but he'd also dragged along Ibara with him which required an incessant amount of bravery seeing as Keiji had already previously witnessed Ibara's hot-headedness at a moment's notice. Luckily for him, Ibara didn't take it as much and was dragged along with Keiji into the inn. However, he promptly shrugged off his grip upon entering.

His glance circled him in a 360 degree motion. Analysing every inch of the area before him. The place was relatively deserted, as he'd noted before, only a few tables were occupied (even so with only one or two people) and the rest were prepared, ready and set as if the inn were expecting a great many more visitors than they'd actually acquired.

Ibara didn't really know what to do considering his circumstances. He'd been dragged into a predicament he hadn't realised he'd caused with an over-friendly young mage. Not that he particularly minded Keiji's company, but he was rather uncomfortable with it all considering his relatable past of solitude which, all in all, amounted to a very awkward situation for him.

Seeing as he was here to stay, judging by the attitude and demeanour which enshrouded his new-found friend, Ibara decided to take a seat on the bar while Keiji was seemingly enthralled, his position still firmly steadfast in the doorway. He gestured in a two fingered motion for Keiji to sit at the bar with him so that the two could indulge themselves with a drink.


"Well, I might as well make the most of this, right? Let's have a drink before I go..“ Ibara had already slapped the jewels on the table which were sufficient for the two to have a few drinks to their name. Clearly, Ibara wasn't feeling charitable enough to sustain Keiji for the entire night especially considering his lowly mage-like financial circumstances.
