eve enjoyed a good joke but really, sometimes, things were just taken too far. and when that happened, it stopped being funny. and things were only funny as long as everyone was laughing---and he had not laughed from the start so. ugh. bracing himself, he looked at lyon and mustered his best apology expression. it was not very good; he rarely had to apologise because he rarely overstepped boundaries. right now, he deeply regretted that he had not stopped the civilian recruits from poking and prodding at lyon, it was just not . . . nice. '' i should say that i'm sorry on their behalf, '' he said quietly. awkwardly.

lyon: i've already sent good vibes your way… they’re coming. there’s nothing you can do to stop them. 
 sting: this is the most threatening way i’ve ever been cheered up.

lyon: *gets down on one knee*
 erik: oh my god, it’s finally happening.
 lyon: *falls over*
 erik: the poison is kicking in.

Mary: I am not out of control! I'm a law abiding citizen! Lyon: Really? Name one law Mary: Don't kill people? Lyon: That's on me. I set the bar too low.

hibiki was in the middle of drinking a nice iced coffee (he seemed to get those more around lyon — probably the overall chill of the other) when he, so casually, made the comment. thanks to years of training, hibiki did not choke on his iced coffee but he did have an internal battle with his esophagus as he almost indeed did.

got a new kid. how does one ... get kids so easily?! there was supposed to be a process behind it, no? unless, of course, the child in question was from some fling. still. so casual. hibiki knew he had one older one that, as far as the archive mage knew, has never seen the light of day. which was probably a good thing, having famous parents or guardians can’t be all that neat. (look at laxus dreyar for example.)

and...screaming for food. hibiki has never been near many kids or younger ones, but he was sure from what he’s heard it’s the norm. but normally it’s just crying. unless the baby in question was colicky. according to his aunty mom—hibiki was one such baby. throwing on a charming smile and hiding the inner duress, hibiki tipped his iced drink at the ice make mage.

❝Nah, nah! This is just how ya do shit, trust me. Works like a charm. I do it all the time!❞

He can understand why Lyon would back away at the sight of Gajeel raising the speed on the electric whisk. Yeah, batter’s tricky and all that, but he’s done it a million times.

He turns to Lyon then. ❝The secret is to just not lift it wh─❞ Except he does lift it, because he’s not looking. And indeed it does get everywhere - mostly on Gajeel’s hair and torso. He takes one deep breath, and turns it off, glancing down at the damage.

❛ aw, did you miss me? ❜ / from wintrhaven - lyon @ gray ; )

Scowling, Gray slumps his shoulders into his coat before squaring his posture. He's always been resistant to expressing his affection, and now's no different.

" Quit goading me. Magnolia's not big enough for two ice mages. " He retorts, voice bordering between irritation and exasperation. Although, admittedly, he enjoys Lyon's company from time to time. There's nostalgia behind every exchange; the way brothers always seem to have friction between them, but friction can be familiar and warm in its own right.

༄ ❚❙❘ Lips thinned into a line, a bad attempt to hide her disappointment. Rayne was not one to argue, everyone was entitled to their opinions after all. It was the response that dampened the conversation to her though. To be so stubborn, how dull.
