Flower Power!!!

The morning had gone by smoothly, with everything according to plan yet it was still late afternoon when he had begun to finish up in the flower filled greenhouse, with the ship to be docking to Crocus in a few days the man knew how soon their streets will be filled with students, tourists and citizens exploring every nook and cranny of the ship, festives would fill the streets as craftsmen would set up stalls to sell their goods and children would be sent out into the crowds with baskets of treats. The greenhouse now cleaned and pristine would awe every visitor as they opened the doors only to be surrounded with the rich scents that the air held. He stretched back, letting the warmth of the sun relax his muscles as it charged through the windows, feeding its light and energy to his precious children the sun was welcomed by the male who’s face soon wore a casual smile. With everything running reasonably smoothly at the moment he felt a little useless, all of the teams had been sent on missions, members partnered together and training had been set dates. Yet for the past while he had been working within the guild, just in his own little group with the exception of sharp, but she didn’t really count much. Yes, perhaps it would do him well to write another name into his contact book. Perching on the edge of a small wall surrounding a little fishpond Lester rummaged around in a small bag at his feet. iLac and drink bottle in hand he set to resting, perhaps there was a job he could take on, maybe just something small to meet some other guild mages, whilst he adored the members that had gathered under his wings there was a slight need inside of him for a fresh perspective on life. Fingernail slightly tapping every so often as he scrolled down the list eyes glazed over, killing a big evil demon, protecting important people, he wasn’t really in the mood for something which would give him no return on emotional investment.

Saving animals from poachers? A slight smile flickered across his face as an image of Val came to mind, she had lived in a forest once. There were lots of places in need of help, yet with animals there was a certain connection you formed after saving them. It would be a nice job, A rank, not easy by any means however the great profit and knowledge that poachers were stopped would be nice. After a few moments of scanning once more over the information he sent a brief message outlining his interest in the partnership, yet he hardly had a moment to finish his drink and put the technology down before a reply lit up the screen. Meeting by the portals at five, they weren’t too far away, he could leave in the morning with plenty of time to spare.

The next morning had gone as normal, a gentle wake up call from a certain sloth as well as the sounds of nighttime critters hurrying around for their last meal. He hadn’t skipped a single process in the morning ritualistic schedule he kept, each flower was replaced with fresh water sloshing into the vases left around the Guildhall. Two notes written, one left under the door of Rin for her and theo, the other had been placed under a small paperweight on the upstairs table. He would be gone for the day, possibly returning tomorrow late into the night at the latest.

White cloak swirled around his shoulders as the male wandered towards the portal door, there were a few small groups gathered nearby, clearly this was a commonly used transport portal, finger faintly brushed against the small bag and staff that sat snugly on his back under the cloak. He was a little early from the looks of it, however that accompanied with the fact that he hadn’t a clue what this other person looked like Lester resorted to sitting on a bench close to the portal, next time perhaps it would be good to ask them if they had any striking characteristic or clothing, without it all seeming like a romantic question of course. Unless this ‘Rina Everglades’ from Fairytail happened to come across him soon then perhaps he would have to go and ask everyone if they were who he was supposed to meet with. Not to mention that if she took too long the Cornish pasties in his bag for breakfast would go cold.

He had been about to wander around in search of the individual when his ilac had pinged slightly, the screen lighting up with the message from the other as he  pulled it out of his pocket showed briefly. The thought crossed his mind as well, before typing out a quick response, it was an odd thought, yet there were bound to be people who didn't know him. 'No worries, I should remember to ask that as well next time. I will be there in a moment.' With the message sent he roused himself and departed the current area, eyes casting across each bench for a lone mage. With the bag of Cornish pasties in his hand the male approached someone with a Fairy Tail guild mark on their hand. "Rina? Nice to meet you I'm Lester Drynedi." With a slight wave of the hand he introduced himself, carefully opening the bag he slid out one of the two large Cornish pasties in his hand, offering the second to the female whom he would be working with on the job. "Cornish pasty, I figured that everyone likes them and food is a good way to meet someone." They were both vegetarian, but the place had been popular so it was likely they were good at making the breakfast treat.

It would be a bit useless to sit around too long, hands clutching the pasty he wandered towards the portal, it was close to where Rina had been seated but he still managed to take a chunk out of his second breakfast. It was nice, the pastry of the outside had managed to contain all of the flavours of the vegetables. It tasted rather nice indeed, juices from broccoli and carrots, little peas and the nibs of sweet corn. Twisting around slightly before he stepped into the portal Lester glanced to check that the fellow nature minded individual was still intent on entering the area. The world was beautiful., forests, mountains, rivers cutting apart the lush green. A mountainous area in the distance which looked like it would hold glaciers and snow capped peaks. "So Rina, where do you want to start? We could free some animals first then deal with the smugglers. Or go straight into the smugglers." He had learnt in the past that his personal syle or prefence rarely mattered due to his supprotive magic.
