@atherissquamigera asked: Aya fussed with the hem of her top as she looked up at Gaj. "I know you jus' got home---but we gotta talk. Lily already said he'd look after Daiki while we talk but its important---"

Having just taken his coat and boots off, he'd pause and loft a brow. Aya was acting odd, which was concerning to the Dragon. He'd lean down and scoop her up into his arms before walking to the couch where he'd rub her back and play with her hair to help her relax a bit. His travel bag lay near the entry to the house so he wasn't too worried about it, he could move it to the bedroom after they talked.

"What's wrong? Yer actin' kinda weird, Aya. Ya okay?"

He asked her, his voice remaining low. He'd lean down and nuzzle her softly before kissing the top of her head, then her forehead and hum softly. If he needed to, he'd sing to her to help her relax so she could talk to him about whatever was bothering her.

@atherissquamigera sent: “   there’s  a  killer  storm  going  on  outside ,   so   unless  you  want  to  disappear  under  mysterious  circumstances ,   i  suggest  you  get  comfortable .   ”

"A storm ain't gonna really make me vanish, but I get yer meanin' I ain't that fond of bein' out in storms anyway."

Gajeel didn't MIND rain, but he didn't fancy the idea of getting home looking much akin to a drowned rat. So he was just going to move to take a seat somewhere before pulling a small notebook out of his coat pocket. The small woman who had spoken to him, likely realized at this point that, if she'd spoken to him before they didn't know one another that well.

"Ya just tellin' people that so they don't wind up sick?"

@atherissquamigera asked: why are you staring at me? something on my face? (Erik)

"No, yer smellin' more and more like Gaj the more time passes,"

He'd squint at her, his eye looking her over and noticing her skin was a bit more green than usual. That was odd, he'd go back to staring at her for a few moments before humming as f discovering something.

"Interesstin', yer aware, yes... since yer a 'makka' and all that?"

What could he possibly be referring to? Well, Aya would have to ask him to get him to say what it was, of course, but the question was, would she ask him or just keep letting him be vague?

@atherissquamigera asked: "Lilllyyyyyy dont be mad----" The shifter gave the exceed a small smile as she was holding a box that was...meowing

Panther Lily looked up from the kiwi he'd been enjoying as Aya approached him. His expression would remain neutral even after he heard the telltale noise of, kittens. He'd place the kiwi down and pad over to where the small woman was with the box.

"Show them to me."

He's now holding his paws out expectantly. Perhaps now would be a good time to send Gajeel to the store for food for the little balls of fur.

It was another successful trip without foreign lands to collect those in need among other refugees. This was merely his promise never to abandon those who have been abandoned and forgotten by the world. He owe it to those children that had been slaughtered in his name that he proceeded right by them, to ensure those sacrifices were not in vain. Sinbad was on the ship as its captain, disguised as a merchant of course, there was no reason to have these people know he was the king Sindria, the very country they were going to see within a few moments now. “How about you? Have the passing nights have been alright for you?”

Ling stumbled through the streets of Central, eventually ducking into an alleyway so he could catch his breath. He was starting to regret taking control of his body from Greed, but he couldn't risk the Homonculus getting into another fight like the one with Wrath. He wasn't in the right mental state to be making decisions for them.

Leaning against the wall, Ling slid to the ground and closed his eyes. They'd just made a whole bunch of very powerful enemies, they had nowhere to go, no food, and... He wasn't alone.

Ling opened his eyes, forcing a smile when he spotted the girl - Chimera? - next to him. He should have made sure the alley was empty, but it was too late now. He just hoped she was friendly.

"Ah, hello there..."

@atherissquamigera / Ja'far

Ja'far isn't one for parties. With Maharagan in full swing down below, Ja'far has taken a moment to slip into the outskirts of the festivities, seeking out a quiet place along the palace grounds. It's not that he doesn't enjoy the celebration, he simply finds the sounds and sights a bit out of his comfort zone. Even if he had been the one to slay the sea creature serving as the party's source.

He had spent much of the day following the creature's attack overseeing the festival, ensuring everything went smoothly. And so after Sinbad's speech and the General's appearance, he had slipped off for some peace.

And it seemed he wasn't the only one staying out of the limelight. When he saw Ayana, he approached with his hands folded in his sleeves.

"Are you enjoying yourself?" he says, smiling politely. "I hope you've had a chance to get something to eat, there is plenty to go around."

OKAY SO these will all be Chimera verse cause im not entirely sure how Aya and Elias could really interact outside of his Chimera verse? Mostly because main verse Elias really wouldn’t have taken an interest, and his involvement in the Chimera Experiments for his main brotherhood verse was very limited despite the knowledge he had regarding the subject.

1. So the first thought that comes to mind is the raid, maybe Elias helping Aya escape it if she’s present at the time? They could either escape together (with maybe a few others), or Elias could guide her out of the nest before trying to go back to rescue more nest members. 

2. I could picture Elias inviting Aya to come watch him start practicing his alchemy again in this verse. Maybe even offer to try and teach her how to use it himself once he starts getting the basics down again. Let him make her some nice things out of alchemy like a trashy charm bracelet, or fix the holes in her clothes without actually needing to sew them.

3. Someone needs to help Elias actually pick out clothes that aren’t a tanktop and military pants. So maybe Aya could help him with that? 

These are all kinda small plots but once I have a grip on a dynamic i swear its much easier for me to come up with things lmao

-- Even with two already proving to be fairly reliable, he couldn't help but worry. Coming from a stranger's place, one that actively went to harm his friends - his sister moreover - and acting like all is dandy and well. Even if the rest could easily shrug it off, he couldn't accept it himself just yet. Not until he experienced it firsthand, anyway. And judging by current states...

"..." Now what to do in this scenario. For the moment, the hulk remained still, giving the stranger a stare from across the crowd; singling her out from the rest of the passerby's. Contemplating first off, whether or not it was even worth fretting over. After all, it was just another member.

...One he had barely seen before, but still just another member. -- Before he knew it, Elfman's stare turned into a scowl of sorts; lingering for much longer than it should have initially. If his senses were picking up right, this girl he'd locked on so impulsively must have been from Phantom as well - which by itself was no issue. But getting chummy with his older sister like that... His worry was fully justified, in his mind.

@atherissquamigera asked: [ COMFORT ]  sender discovers receiver brooding and quietly approaches to carefully hug them from behind. 

He did genuinely look like he was brooding, not too shocking when anyone thought of how the Dragon tended to keep to himself. He was quiet, often sitting alone in dark areas in the guildhall when he was there, among other things. However, Aya found him sitting on the roof of the guildhall this time, clearly deep in thought for one reason or another. He looked like he was contemplating something major.

As soon as her arms went around his torso he instinctively flinched though it was brief, and he'd relax as soon as her scent hit his nose. Her presence wasn't what caused him to flinch, nor had her touch. Perhaps it was to do with him having made himself scarce shortly after arriving at the guildhall on this particular day and having been left to his own thoughts for so long?

"Sorry 'bout flinchin' Aya, yer fine and thank ya for comin' and findin' me. Ain't sure I should be 'lone right now. My thoughts... they ain't... they ain't good ones."

Whenever he was idle for long stretches of time, if he didn't do anything with his hands, dark thoughts tended to consume him. He'd spoken to her about them once but it was a long while ago now. A few years, at the very least. The Dragon would sigh.

"I need to find somethin' to do."

@atherissquamigera asked: The shifter sat on the floor beside Natsu and wordlessly shoved her head against his side. A silent request for attention from her friend---also using him for sensory input.

He grinned slightly at her bumping him with her head, he'd chuckle there after before wordlessly hugging her. He knew she liked his warmth and he was happy to supply her with it, especially as it was starting to cool down outside. He was EXCITED to see Aya again, of course, but seeing that she was okay was all that mattered to the Dragon.

"It's nice to see you again, Aya."

He'd only hug her and supply her with warmth if she wanted. It'd been a while so he wasn't sure if playing with her hair was okay or not.

@atherissquamigera asked: Aya shifted as she woke up to the sound of the front door of Gajeels home opening then shutting; looking blearily out the window to see the position of the sun---it couldnt have been more than an hour or so since he'd left. Why was he back so soon?

With a groan she crawled out of bed and wandered into the living room, eyes still half shut and rubbing her face tiredly. "Wha happen? Yer never back this fast---," She was interrupted by a yawn. "ferget somethin'?" She blinked the sleep out of her eyes before processing who she was actually looking at.

It must be one of the other 3 brothers. "Gajeel isnt here---left lil while ago" (for Gajeel)

Gajeel had headed to his oldest brother's house to grab something the older slayer had planned on giving him. It was a book, so whenever Aya stumbled, half-asleep into the living room, while wearing one of his brother's shirts as a nightgown he'd pause, and look at her.

"Interestin', wasn't fuckin' told there was a guest here."

He'd look her over, once more taking in the fact that she was wearing one of Gaj's shirts. Odd, but okay. Maybe she was the older dragon slayer's mate? He wouldn't know unless he asked, of course. His brother was fairly secretive, so him having a secret lover or mate wouldn't be too far fetched.

"Gonna guess yer Gaj's mate?"

While, visually he was quite similar to his oldest brother, he wasn't him. Their tattoos were different among other things. He was also slightly shorter. He'd turn back and go back to looking on the bookshelf. He'd eventually tug a small book free and tuck it into hic pocket.

"Well, now that I grabbed what he told me to, I can get outta yer hair, miss."

Dol leaned on the bar, fidgeting with the edge of his keikogi due to boredom. It had to be at least another hour before the Nest opened, leaving him with ample time to waste.

He glanced under the bar, quickly flicking him eyes back up. Yep, still there. Underneath the bar sat two apples in a bag, fresh and bright red. Dol had bought them the day before when he was on a grocery run, unable to stop himself from buying them. They were on sale and he knew someone in the Nest would like them.

And speaking of the person who would like them...

"Aya!" Dol called out, catching a glimpse of her in the doorway to the bar's main room. "I got somethin for you."

How do you feel about Ayana?

Ayana? Did they mean Aya, was that her full name or had they simply gotten mixed up?

"You mean Aya, she.. she's nice. I really like spending time with her, never feel any pressure to talk or do anything you know and look while I don't dislike anyone at The Nest it is nice having someone closer to my age,

never thought I'd miss goofing around but with her I feel like I can, I guess this is what it feels like to have a friend and I'm starting to feel maybe I could.. could tell her about well,"

He flexed his gloved hands, yah maybe with her it'd be alright to take them off for a little while
