It was a quiet day at the guild (for once). Natsu had left on a mission with the rest of team Natsu except for Lucy who had sprained her ankle on the last job and had to wait for Wendy to come back from her mission to heal her. Everyone looked up as the guild doors opened and in came a group of cloaked figures who were immediately recognized as Crime Sorciere.

"Welcome." Mira called. "I'm afraid that Erza isn't here. She left on a job a few days ago and isn't due back for a week. Y'all are welcome to hang around here until they get back if Y'all have the time."

Jellal drooped. He was hoping that he would get to see her.

"Sure. We need a break anyway. Ever since we were pardoned by Princess Hisui, we've been bombarded with missions from the rune knights."

They spread out around the guild hall. Racer went over to jet to see about setting up a race, Jellal went to go sit in a corner and plan where they were going to head once they left the guild (or in other words, mope because he didn't get to see Erza), Angel went to talk fashion with evergreen, Richard went to talk to Reedus about commissioning him to paint a picture of his brother so that it would be easier to find him, Midnight went over to sit at the end of the bar and sleep, and Cobra went over to sit next to Lucy at the bar. They had somehow struck up an odd friendship over the frequent visits to fairy tail.

"What's up, Bright eyes?" he said. "Whose fault was it this time?" referring to the multiple visits where she was injured.

"it was both this time. Gray shot ice at one of the bad guys. Natsu roared at another. I was in the middle fighting my own. I had to scramble to get out of the way and slipped and sprained my ankle bad. We lost half the reward and got back to find that Wendy had just left a few hours before to go on a mission so now I must wait for her to get back to be healed!" Lucy ranted. "you would think that I would be used to it by now, but it still pisses me off that they don't take their surroundings into consideration before attacking. On nearly every mission we take, we get less than half of the original reward because of the property damage that they cause. And Erza isn't much better."

Cobra just let her rant. After the first few times, he learned to just let her get it off her chest at the beginning or they were going to be talking about it for the entire time. "anyway, enough about them before I explode. What's new with you? Anymore embarrassing moments I want to hear about?" Lucy prompted with a grin.

"well, Jellal walked into a lamp post on the way through town because he was distracted by thoughts of seeing Erza. A few weeks ago, racer ran into a wall because he wasn't watching where he was going. Angels favorite outfit got destroyed by a pervy dark mage that we were fighting and she kicked him so hard that he will certainly never have kids. Other than that, it was normal. I swear, I am the smoothest person in the guild." Cobra said with a smirk and Midnight began cackling at the end of the bar.

"did you forget all of your misshaps." He wheezed out. Cobra turned to glar at him. "Don't you dare." He threatened.

"He walked into three different walls and tripped over multiple different 'invisible rocks' because he wasn't paying enough attention." Everyone cracked up laughing.

Cobra blushed as he shot up and tried to get to Midnight who had taken refuge behind Mira. "I am going to kill you!" he shouted.
