fulmen—s:

_{“Precisely— a city.”}

_{≺ ϟ ≻ ——-   Solely annotating her descant, concerning the locality that abides in—- mere contemplations would suffuse his mind for a split second, before wizen away. Solicitousness whether matters are alright or not. Knowing that this locus would constantly be in jeopardy. Needless to say, Fiore in total. Innumerable were the times when mages from official Guilds would purvey their succor, in order for the optimum result to outcome. Precisely— Fairy Tail would be the first option, having in mind the many potent fissury figures that lodge in. Laxus transpire to be one of the strongest individuals— even across the whole country. He had demonstrated nay confoudedly a sufficient merit of his stupendous virtue that he has in frabjous mastery. And overtly, no hesitance on displaying it, to whoever would inquire it—- or mostly, to whoever would have enough of guts, to garble the thunder mage as an opponent to have an actual combat with. Huge mistake.}

_{≺ ϟ ≻ ——-   Being the abridgement of omnipotence, it is apparent that he shall extinguish from existance anyone who would beget to impugn him or something the deteriorating— Fairy Tail. And everyone is awared of such prospect, in the world where he comes from. First and foremost, from the reputed battle of Fairy Tail that was created, during the Festival Days before the Fantasia Parade would take place. Alongside with the squad he had created— the Raijinshuu, it was a way to demonstrate his Dragon Slayer powers. Regardless the fact that in the end, it was his loss—- it was a good way to strive for amelioration. Secondly, during the infamous S-class examination that took place in the holy island named Tenrou, Laxus was capable enough to provide his assistance by shielding his, then, ex-comrades, and fighting in equal terms their enemy. Eventually, with Fairy Tail strike, the victory was earned. Thirdly— the infamous Grand Magic Games. Not only he was able to fight an abominable man, known as his father, and crush him, with his.. pets— He was capable on obtaining victory against a superior opponent. What could be optimum than that? Hadn’t his comportment being nay curmudgeon, he would have earned the title of a Saint Wizard. Alas, further liabilities than the accustomed ones, wouldn’t be an exhilarating introduction upon his schedule. Already, after the conclusion of this competition, the meaning ‘rest’ had macerated his mind. Rather toug asks would postulate him, to fulfil them. Thrill in his life, was a positive contributionary factor, in his life— but abatement held almost coequal importance.}

                          "..-- Tell me, what strengths do you possess?"

_{≺ ϟ ≻ ——-   Her query stuck in his mind. A suspiration would evade his delicate lips. A masculine arm would heighten—- congenial movement by amalgamating a set of annulets with his citrine spikes, as he allowed it to plonk. Such inquirement could take him hours to finish his rebutter. Truth to be said—- rather consious he was. Unveiling any information to the unbeknown individualist might result to fatal consequences. Not that apprehension had stuck him. Merely the concept of fighting— dullness had suffused him, had he to avow. Impressive enough for her, understanding his potency— knowing that she does not possess any magic within her.}

_{“Does it matter?”}

_{≺ ϟ ≻ ——-   Tranquil vox would resonate the ambiance between them. Nothing but a simple traveller he was— seemingly having lost his track, ending up in his locus. Perhaps the vintage rosette was either curious— or suspicious over him. Can’t put any blame on her. Had Laxus been in the position that she is now— he would have done the same, and something the deteriorating, if needed. “I see no benefit to outcome by tellin’ you.— But we can do this;” An offer he shall declare—- for both of them to gain merit, equal profit for it.}

_{“— Give me directions to get out of this place—-”  A gaze onwards the sky— about to get dark, overtly. “— Or most likely, for a place to stay for a night, and i’ll answer to your questions.”}

^{“Interesting.~”}

^{|☽❀☾| A soft chuckle was found to the surface, filling the air around them–audible enough for just the two of them to hear. Naturally, whenever the roseate came across newcomers, particularly someone such as Laxus himself, she couldn’t help but to be entirely skeptical about them. Second guessing if they actually were troublesome for her to come across. She was a ninja, after all. And she truly wouldn’t allow herself to fall for whichever traps they might wish to initiate. However, the male before her didn’t seem like that at all. Not even the slightest. His essence was kind and completely unharmed. She could even tell because of how maturely he handled this whole situation earlier. At first glimpse, most would probably think of him as abrupt, perhaps ill-mannered even. But did Sakura reckon him in such manners? Of course not.}

"Does it matter?"

     _{The more he didn’t answer her queries, the more he edged Sakura to press further in her endeavors on what qualities he genuinely held on the inside. After all, the quicker he told her, the better. Though, just by looking at him, she could make an effortless assumption that gaining information regarding such wasn’t so simple after all. But he was right, maybe if she did find him a place to stay for the night, then she could finally get the answers she desired. However, the real question was: just where on earth was he going to stay? Surely, if it were at Sakura’s accommodation then she would have to get consent from her parents. That is, if they are home, of course. But if she doesn’t recall clear enough, she does remember them telling her that they were supposed to arrive  toward a mission for a good week or two yesterday. They weren’t in the village this morning, so she was only assuming they must’ve left for their journey already. So if he did manage to stay the night at her home, then it would make everything even more easier than is. But alas, if he does so–then Tsunade, the Hokage of Konoha would have to give them both permission. Not to mention that Laxus would probably have to clarify to her whom he was and what town he originated from. Just so she gets a full gist of his personality and who’s actually setting foot in Konoha boundaries.}

      _{Vision was focused upon his stature for a moment, palm sprawled beneath the base of her chin, once brims parted to speak. “Alright, I suppose you could stay for the night, if you’re comfortable with it in my house, that is. Since all the hotels here are booked this evening.” She stated simply, a solemn nod in reassurance dipping her crown in pursuit. Despite the words she spoke and since he was new to the village, Sakura doesn’t think that he would actually agree to stay at her home for the night. After all, they did just cross baths between one another. So to step foot in her home, especially since they both barely hold any knowledge of one another, the situation would be entirely awkward–to say the least. Perhaps if they continue further in conversation, then they both would have at least a shed of information on any aspects in character they carried. Maybe a few negotiations could even be made.} 

     ^{A sigh lingered through the air, causing her poise; feminine visage to remain composed. Any sort of insight placed upon the situation would prove understanding; there was simply no way everything could be logically explained. Though calm, concern isolated itself beneath her semblance, the pink-haired teen wished for no turmoil to come from this situation. She was a natural pacifist―she wished neither to start any confusion nor have any confusion. If he felt more comfortable, perhaps a different alternative on where he could stay would be a better choice.} 

   ^{"–That’s if you’re alright with it, of course.“ She continued onward, voice woven with traces of reassurance. "I could always persuade the desk-workers to book you a night, despite some of the rooms being filled."}
