@lorefated asked: " Someone broke the ladder in the library and now I can't get the second book of this series!"

She only earns further amusement from him with that. Though sympathy is definitely in order considering the very real struggle, Elfman seldom had this issue; always being taller than his peers, easily towering over everyone discounting Master Makarov under Titan enhancement. By contrast, Levy was always on the shorter side; barely scraping the one-and-a-half meter mark.

He couldn't help himself; containing an escaped laugh followed by a snort. "O-Okay, a Man will help ya..." His hand reached, barely with any effort, to bring her the book she wanted. Whoever put that up there (probably her) never accounted for such a mishap. He'd make mental note (definitely to be forgotten later) that they need a new ladder, or that he'd have to help a bit more around the library. She could have easily asked for Lucy's help too, or anyone else more books-y.

"...Pipsqueak." Elfman could allow himself the leeway to tease upon the very real problem. Was he even a little salty that she somehow got picked to become an S-Class wizard more times than he was? Perhaps. Maybe this was his silent justice.

@lorefated asked: " You.. seem to have a lot of beef with them. Is everything okay?"

A Man should keep to Himself. That was a code by which many lived, it was something most men were raised upon as a principle; an unfortunately crippling mindset that keeps men in check, to sort their own problems by themselves and reject outside help. The consequences of such would come and prove humiliating at times, if not fatal at the worst. But even then. Opening up problems and personal issues doesn't come by when things get, well, personal.

"It doesn't concern you, Levy." He uttered, somewhat spitting. If he could, he'd keep her out of his issues. But by his admission, whatever that man was doing was wholly Unmanly. "It's somethin' fer me ta figure out. Ya got yer own stuff to worry about, so leave this to a Man!" A Man has to settle the score here one way or another, anyway.

@lorefated asked: “ i can look after myself, you know. but… i do appreciate you stepping in back there. you saved my life. “

For him, it's all in the day's work. A big lug like himself's mostly good for taking hits, if not for slugging it out. The direct opposite of her. In fact, "Heh. Don't need ta brag! Levy's really small but I know ya can handle yerself. Yer a Man when it counts!!" There may have been a small jab there, pardon the pun. "Any closer than that and ya might've lost an arm."

“ Come on! We are going to me late!”

"Don't worry, Levy! I'm almost done!" She was putting the finishing touches on her face makeup, spraying her setting spray before she'd move onto her hair, opting to put it in half pigtails and straightening out the pieces that were left down and she'd slip her shoes on.

"Ready to go?"

@lorefated asked: “ i thought i might find you out here… this must be your favorite spot, huh? it’s nice! “

THIS   PLACE   WAS   WELL   KNOWN   TO   THE   GUILD.   but often not one that peope visited.   a hill close by to the guild,   but had an amazing view of the ocean even better when the sun began to set for the night.   wendy often visited this place to reflect on herself.   her life,   everything that she has done to this point.   she was happy to return to the guild during her time off from school,   but sometimes scary memories resurfaced that she wished to forget,   souring the once peaceful mood within the dragon slayer.   wendy sat in the grass with her knees almost covering her face.   even though she was deep in thought she can sense the footsteps of a familar bookish mage behind her.   if anyone was to visit in the moment,   she was glad that it was her.   she lifted her head to look back at her as she walked up a smile on her face.

❝   you were looking for me   ??   i'm sorry if i made you look for me.   ❞   it wasn't like she didn't want to be found.   but only people who actually paid attention to wendy would know this is where she would hide.   old habits die hard,   huh   ?   wendy didn't want levy to worry about her,   so she looked towards the sky in front of them enjoying the beautiful reds,   pinks,   and oranges.   ❝   yeah.   i like the quietness and the view is really pretty at this time of day.   i like to come here when i want to get away from the loudness of the world.   ❞
