the dragon slayers so far were all so ... young. laxus was young, too, he supposed when he became one when ivan made him one. but even with that, he was older than little wendy was. and more outgoing. it didn't seem like wendy was introverted, just shy. ivan tried to be gentle with her. with how young she was and how her life had already started, there was enough grief and failure of adults around her — he was going to make the best attempt to ensure he wasn't on that list.
natsu and mother were off towards dahlia and ivan was left with babysititng duty. it was easy enough when his charges were zilla, who was quiet and currently napping and wendy, who was also quiet. both were overall well behaved and he was thankful. he found wendy up in the tree outside which was not a surprise, he noticed she liked to up high. both young girls did, now that he thought about it but wendy he presumed was due to her predisposition to be in the sky.
"wendy." his voice was soft as he didn't need to higher it much to get her attention with the heightened senses. "i am going to make lunch soon, do you have any requests?"
