The usual chaos.

Look out Magnolia!  The most destructive member of the notoriously off-the-wall guild Fairy Tail was on the prowl for some food.  With Happy tagging along, the pair casually strolled down the street- following Natsu's nose in search of a place that served both a good meaty meal, and the raw fish that Happy had insisted upon

The water mage tipped her head out from the fruit stand she currently toddled behind, mostly hidden but not well.

It was a hot enough day that she was starting to drip, but when she glanced up at the skies above they were bright and clear, the sun a blinding glare of white-gold, so she was happy.

The loud one usually interacted with her Gray-sama, so she was letting him lead the way.

As Natsu was too preoccupied hunting down lunch, it was Happy that noticed Lluvia first. He had to look twice, but that was definitely someone recognizable over there.

"Lluvia!" With a cheerful greeting, the feline gave away the mage's "secret" hiding place.

With a look back over his shoulder, the dragonslayer was quick to give his nakama a big grin. "Hey!" One hand gave her a half-wave, as most of his mind was still focused on food, food, and also, food. "Wanna find something for lunch together?"

The invitation was offhand, but sincere. He didn't know much about Lluvia, aside from her rather strange way of acting around a certain ice idiot. Since she was a member of Fairy Tail though, he figured it was a good idea to do some bonding.

If she offered to pay for lunch, that would merely be a completely unexpected bonus.

"Mm."

Lluvia gave a curt nod of her head, hiding the slight blush that colored her cheekbones at the prospect of making new friends.

She wanted to fit in with Fairy Tail--it was a good guild with members like Gray-sama who took care of their nakama.

She fell in line behind the pair, silent aside from the clip-clip of her boots against the smooth, dry cobblestones underneath.

After a while she ventured, "Lluvia cannot locate Gray-sama...?"

Had he gone on a mission without telling her? She guessed he didn't have any obligation to make his whereabouts known to her.

Hearing anyone add that kind of honourific to the name of a guy like Gray was jarring to his ears, but Natsu decided to forgive Lluvia. Once she got to know him better, she'd come to her senses and drop the formalities.

Waving off her problem casually, he gave the answer that he reasoned would be the most reassuring, "Don't worry about that guy. I haven't seen at all yet today."

Moving on to the situation at hand, he pointed toward a kiosk that was selling kabobs of some kind of meat. "That place looks good!" Not taking a vote, he headed for the vendor, eying up the food for sale.

Happy began to run after him, before adding to Lluvia, "Gray usually shows up some where! Even if we're not looking for him!"
