It was subtle enough, that for a few moments she hasn't noticed it, absorbed in her own world of sounds and sensations.

“Ah, yes...”

She looked up at the blonde and smiled lightly. She could say she missed him when she was away in Iceberg, yes?

“Hello, Laxus. How have you been?”

She watched carefully from behind the bar as the party raged on once more. It wasn’t the first time a Blue Pegasus party got out of hand, and she was quit sure it wouldn’t be the last time. With another soft sigh escaping her lips she grabbed the broom as she watched a beer glass fly across the room. Carefully she pulled the cardigan off her arms and rolled up the sleeves to her button up. 

As she finished rolling up her sleeves she walked out from behind the bar. “W-watch where you g-guys throw things... I won’t b-be here to clean up your messes a-all the time.”

The soft stutter escaped her lips as she cleaned the glass off the floor. She paused looking over to the corner of the room. She noticed the larger figure knelt in the corner. It wasn’t long after the thunder legion and Laxus had joined the guild, but it still made her wonder what the blonde man was up to. Setting the dustpan on the bar and setting the broom against it, she slowly made her way over to the man and softly put her hand on his shoulder.

After half of an hour spent in the noisy guildhall, Laki was sure that the guildmaster was pulling a tasteless prank on her. Why was it absolutely necessary for her to wait there if he was still going to be late? She could have waited in her own apartment just fine and return the mission report the next day. No need to rush. And since when the guildmaster did the paperwork so diligently? Suspicious.

Whatever that was, if it had been somebody of lesser authority, she would have walked away without any remorse whatsoever. At that point, politeness seemed like a form of masochism. Damn you, etiquette lessons.

When Natsu let out a particularly loud scream, Laki whimpered pathetically and covered her ears, silently praying for the guildmaster to finally enter the guild (or someone to gag all present people).
