Nostalgia Strikes Back [Jellal & Ultear] - Part 2

Hearing the teasing about her past tendencies only resulted in a sigh and shift of her stance. “Scheming? No. Reflecting and observing? Definitely,” she answered plainly while walking over to join Jellal by the window. He would never let her live it down that she had almost destroyed the world on multiple occasions via her manipulation and plotting.
“Just wondering if you were thinking about the tower yet again. You always get this look on your face when you start to think about it…” Her expression changed back to the smirk and amusement she held before, wondering if he would ever feel like he could move on and let it all go. They had done plenty of hunting and defeating of dark guilds, but their work was never done. Not as long as there were Zeref sympathizers and extremists still roaming about.
Jellal could not help but chuckle softly some at her response, in some ways Ultear did not change since their council days together, trying to out manipulate each other back then aside. But he could sense the shift of the atmosphere between them as she walked closer to him, she could already guess what he was thinking with just one glance, and so he wondered how his face could be such a open book to read that easily.
“I suppose the eyes are the windows to the soul after all, but then again, it has always been hard to hide anything from you, Ultear.” He closed his eyes and smile gently at the fact, she saw right through him as always. “I was, every time we take down another dark guilt, I am reminded of the tower I made the others complete for my ambitions back then.”
To this day, he did not blame Ultear for manipulating him the whole time. For her to be able to do that, he had to also agree with he deep down, that was how he was rationalising things anyway. “I assume you do not, you played a minor role in that after all.” Jellal added with a faint smile, he would not blame Ultear for his own actions, but was not as ignorant to say she played no part at all.
