It was a gorgeous day and the cheerful purple haired woman took that as a sign that she was making the right decision. She had been travelling from one town to the next for what had seemed like an age but given her dislike for vehicles, walking was the only option, not that she minded that much. There was so much more to be seen by foot anyway and the slayer had experienced her fair share of close encounters during her trip, both friendly and otherwise. It had all been great fun but Ashaiya had come to the conclusion that it was finally time to commit herself to a guild and what better one to join than Fairy Tail? It was the most well known and even Vesta, her mentor and mother figure had known of it, which was saying a lot. So, she had packed up her gear and started her long journey, which had finally led her to Magnolia.
A smile would cross her features as she made her way through the town, occasionally having to move out of the way as children ran past her, playing and having a good time. The town gave off an incredibly friendly vibe and the mage was already feeling at home, even if her smile did briefly turn wry as one of she shopkeepers decided to make a pass at her as she headed for the guild hall. It didn’t bother her and the blue eyed woman took it as a compliment, laughing and giving him a wave as she continued on her way.
Her keen slayer senses guided her well and she soon found herself standing outside the guild hall. It didn’t look quite as grand and prosperous as she’d expected but looks could always be deceiving and with a simple push, she opened the doors and entered. The moment she did so, she felt a few pairs of eyes turning towards her although their gazes were more curious than ones of dislike, which soon helped her to settle. Her eyes would quickly hone in on to the bar at the back of the room and she couldn’t help but wonder over and take a seat.
“Never seen you before,” the barkeep would say cheerfully, walking over to her, “New to the guild?”
“That’s right,” Ashaiya would answer with a grin, “Travelled a long way to visit here.”
“In that case, this one’s on the house,” the friendly figure said in response, placing a glass in front of her, “Make yourself at home.”
He would then leave in her peace, while Ashaiya took a sip of her drink, turning a curious eye towards the patrons. She didn't feel any feel nerves at all and seemed to just blend in to her surroundings. It was something that she'd always been pretty good at.
