as a rule, jura did not get involved in the feuds his friends were indulging in. it was their business, not his. thus, he did not mind the blonde's presence in his office, though he was surprised by it. "in what kind of function are you here today, lucy-san?" he asked as he raised an eyebrow. "as a journalist or as a mage?"
of all the members of the magic council (take… whatever version they were on this time, maybe three since she had first joined fairy tail?), lucy had to say he felt most comfortable around jura. perhaps it was just the way he seemed to exude a calming influence, a skill he had possessed even back when they had first met back when they were hunting the oración seis. and so, when the chance to go speak to him for a story came up, she had jumped at it.
“a journalist, mainly, if you don’t mind?” her notepad and recorder was in her bag, ready to be pulled out when necessary. “although the story i’m looking into here does interest me as a mage as well? i’ve heard rumor that it could be easier soon to find work as an independent mage, outside of the guild system?”
something that she just knew that the readers of sorcerer’s weekly would like to know. there had to be other mages out there that didn’t want to be forced into a guild just to make a solid living. sure, lucy had loved her time in fairy tail, but the disbandment had hit her hard and she didn’t want others to have to go through the same thing.
but that was work, and jura had been a good ally, so the blonde was perfectly happy to let business wait. “but first, how have you been? asking as a former ally, not as a reporter.” a smile was given, hands resting gently in her lap. “it must be crazy here, with all the drama from other guilds. or is it calmer without natsu and fairy tail making a mess all the time?” // @rulesearth
