Coffee, Donuts, and Lots and Lots of Teasing. :3

[celestial_wizard]

Date & Time: March 6th, the afternoon
Location: Somewhere in the city MY, "the city", and ending up at a coffee shop most likely!
Characters: Lucy Heartfilia, Natsu Dragneel, Blaine Thorps
Summary: What happens when two mages encounter a troll who found it way too fun to tease them? ... a helluva lot more teasing, that's what.
Warnings: Probably none!


Morning training was always brutal on poor Lucy's body, especially considering it was Erza who was putting them through those drills. But it would be worth it in the end, even if she felt like she couldn't move afterwards. So immediately after training she'd informed her friends she was going back to her unit to have a shower. After that was done, she then decided to head outside again for a walk and possibly get a coffee and donut from a shop nearby. She'd meet up with Natsu again later (or sooner than she thinks), but for the meanwhile, coffee and donut was on the agenda. Also meeting certain trolls that teased her the other day, but shh, she didn't know she was going to run into Blaine yet.

Comments

[celestial_wizard]

Catching sight of Blaine paying for the food, Lucy reached into her wallet to take out some money. "Thanks. How much do I owe you?"

What - she couldn't just let him pay for her, that was datelike! "Oh, well, a little physical training to build up my muscles, and training for my spirits- meditation, mostly, to increase my stamina. Natsu and Erza are usually sparring against each other, so sometimes I watch them."

[strategic_guile]

"Don't worry about it," he said, waving a hand dismissively at her wallet.

"Your spirits? I have a feeling you don't mean alcoholic spirits." If she had to train for that, he wasn't sure what to think.

[celestial_wizard]

"Eeh? No way, I can't let you pay for me...!" But she's distracted from the protest at that latter comment, laughing as she reached for the creamer.

"No no, I mean my celestial spirits. They're friends of mine, who fight alongside me in battle."

[strategic_guile]

"And meditation helps you train to fight with them?" There are stranger things, but he finds that interesting as he sips his tea. He totally ignores her attempts to pay.

[celestial_wizard]

"It's part of it," Maaan. If this was a proper restaurant she could ninja a tip there or something. She'd have to even it up somehow. "Meditating allow me to be able to increase the magic energy I use to summon them- the more magic I have, the stronger my spirits are."

"But what about you? How do you do your training?"

[strategic_guile]

"So you're a mage? Ahhh, more people with magic. I'm really feeling left out, here." He says it playfully though, and lifts up his arm to flex, yeah look at that muscle. "Just physical training using resistance, some weights, and a lot of running."

[celestial_wizard]

"Yes. Everyone in Fairy Tail is - that's myself, Natsu, Erza, and Juvia." And Natsu was pretty ripped too. Actually so was Gray - they destroy the trope that mages were physically weak. Even Erza, who wasn't overly muscled, was ridiculously powerful.

She pauses to take a sip of the coffee, thoughtful. "If you need someone to spar against, I don't think Erza would mind training with you, or even Natsu." Because it'd been at least what, thirty seconds since she last mentioned her friend?

[strategic_guile]

"I think Erza would beat me too badly," he laughed, lifting his hands in a fending off motion. He had talked to her once before, and threatened him about using her nickname. He hadn't used it, mostly because he hadn't talked to her again since. "A woman called 'Titania' may be too fierce even for me."

"I may give Natsu a try. We can battle it out for your affections~"

[celestial_wizard]

"Oh, you've met Erza? When?" She wanted to hear about this! Though she giggles a bit, nodding agreement, "There's a reason she's called Titania. She's one of the strongest mages in Fairy Tail, with her requip magic."

And smiling, "I'm sure he'll like that; he always like having strong people to fi-" She promptly CHOKED on her drink, grabbing a napkin to quickly cover her mouth lest she accidentally spit it out again.

"M.. My what?!"
