natsu could hear wendy before he smelled her, though she was very, very quiet. and it reminded him of her theory — she had the better smell and he, the hearing. they would have to ask gajeel if he could taste better or something. since it was wendy natsu had no issue continuing to enjoy a bath under the sun because she wasn't the type to try anything when it was a peaceful vibe they were having. she was even genuinely supportive of his post-lunch sun bath.

oh? he smelled something floral and sweet, different from wendy's scent with her but it was light. her hands brushed up behind his ear and he knew by the texture and smell it was a flower now.

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.

he’s often asked what his Favourite guild is, and he can never answer that question. the most popular guilds (Fairy Tail, Lamia Scale, Blue Pegasus, Sabertooth, Mermaid Heel etc) are of course the top of his list but he could never pick between any of them as he loves aspects of all of them and thinks they’re too different to be compared. His way of appreciating something about everything carries through to a lot of areas in his life, he rarely has ‘favourite’ anythings. 

whenever he takes a photo of someone (or group of people), he always gets them to review it before it goes any further. if they’re not happy with it, he deletes the pic then and there and will take as many photos as they like until there’s one they’re happy with. he Never keeps or uses photos of people without their permission.

when he’s writing, especially interviewing someone, he prefers to record the meeting as well as make his own notes. because he has to keep up with what the person is saying, he writes in his own form of shorthand. it looks like a jumbled code to anyone else but makes perfect sense to him!

his sunglasses are prescription lenses for helping with his distance vision, he relies on always having them with him because he misplaced the non sunglasses pair at some point, so these are all he has (because he never has time to go get a new pair).
