….Ahh, of course. She pursed her lips, trying not to pout too hard as he flung it away. So he hadn’t even realized. Still, that side of her beloved Gray-sama was unexpectedly cute. “Juvia thought as much…but it just means she has to try harder!” She clenched her fist, nodding a few times. She wasn’t about to let a little misunderstanding get her spirits down. After all, she’d still had the good fortune of being able to run into him like this!
“Juvia wanted to get more sewing supplies, since she’s out of a few colors of thread and needs more material.” It was her way of relaxing between missions, or whatever trouble their guild was getting into. “What about Gray-sama?”
Don’t try harder! He wanted to shout, thinking of the times she’s gone over the top. Like trying to shove a body pillow of herself in a bikini at him. He really didn’t know how to deal with her at times. Or ever, really. But those kind of protests only fell on deaf ears so he decided to sigh and leave it at that.
Did he want to know why she was getting sewing supplies? Gray was dithering in between being civil or just as cold as usual but thankfully her next question was a nice subject change. “Nothing, really. Running an errand for Mirajane.” Well, it was mostly from the headmaster but that’s where he’d picked up the job from. The mage folded his arms as he squinted at the city. He was still trying to find his way around.
“They were talking about maybe trying to see if this place would be willing to put out guild requests.” Not such a bad idea when he thought about it. Speaking of which, he still had some flyers he was supposed to tack around on billboards at important looking places, but when he patted himself down he realized he was missing them... and the coat they were supposed to be in. Hell, he was missing his shirt too. Damnit.
“... And now I gotta go. See ya.” He waved a hand and pivoted on his heel to begin the search for wherever the hell he’d decided to strip so he could retrieve his belongings. At least he’d kept his pants on this time so there was no worry of being arrested.
