He frowned, eyes taking in the scene quickly. The rest of Team Natsu had gone their separate ways once they’d entered the bar, and although Lucy could handle herself, the two drunks currently edging closer to her didn’t seem to be getting the hint…

Oh how she was wishing she had taken Gray up on his offer to go swimming, she had outright refused at the time considering it was so cold but now she would have much preferred exactly that.
All night guys had been hooting and hollering at her, trying to gain the slightest bit of attention from the blonde but she wouldn’t give them a bar of her time, it wasn’t that she was being a snob or anything of the sought, she just wasn’t there to ‘hook up’ as Loke so often called it.
It wasn’t until the two morons started closing in, however slowly, that her nerves began to grow as her hand went straight for her whip. The last time she’d been approached by two guys Loke had saved her, restraining them before they could do anything, and while she had the utmost confidence in herself, drunks were unpredictable.
Another whistle in her direction and she lost her patience, a dark aura floated around her as she glared and shot off a remark about how she wouldn’t touch them with a ten foot pole when the blonde Dragon Slayer stepped in.

“— Thanks Laxus… You’d think they’d have taken a hint…”
