_{“Suits fine by me.”}

_{≺ ϟ ≻ ——-   Not that optimum predilections were rendered, nay vivid frazzle was taking over his somatic condition. The thunder mage would estimate the munificent proffer that came straightforward from the padparadscha haired female, yet— in a wordless mode. Customarily, he wouldn’t consent someone’s offer—- precisely, if the individual would be unfamiliar in his eyes. Yet, there are those scarce times when he should abase his pride, hauteur, and display an amount of tranquility, amalgamated with benevolence. Regardless the fact that such particularities, aren’t accustomed in his personage, in this situation, it couldn’t be helped. Otherwise, he would be wandering around, and perhaps—- provoke suspiciousness round his environs. The fact that somewhat he outpointed a merit of her conviction was evoking enough of positivism. And let’s face it—- creating actual combats out of the blue, for almost no reason at all, would conclude to crucial consequences, from both sides.}

_{≺ ϟ ≻ ——-   Something that created a query upon his brain, was this; How was she able to put an amount of alliance in him? Regardless if it is gargantuan or not— Opus so verity, Laxus’ individuality, couldn’t be considered as trustful, of course, this is due to his nay boorish comportment, and the haughtiness that he values in a great extent. Other than that, he was confirmed to be one of those few people that would show no demur to put their own life at jeopardy, in order to earn the insurance of those that are valued. After all—- as stated, he’s the kind of persona who would divulge his prepositions with his transactions, instead of mere words. Perhaps this nearly pretty female, with a peridot nuance in her stones, had sensed something? And thus, more questions will be formed. Nevertheless, he would have enough time to have them answered. Of course—- provided that would be with all the squareness. Otherwise, nearly opprobrium it would have, had his mind been filled with nothing but lone mendacity. What was deteriorating? He had nothing in knowledge in this locality, so overtly— he would show trust in words that would be declared from the feminine figure. Nonetheless, he had faith that he would go in such situations.}

_{≺ ϟ ≻ ——-   As a beck divulging flippant exhaustion, he would allow a deep breath to be exhaled. Seemingly it the sky was gonna take the complexion of a dark sapphire color. It was apparent of course. Hands would cover themselves right on the pockets of his leather pantaloons. His precious garment would bestir with lingering motion, due to the feathery wind that was blowing against them. Even in the air— he could sense the difference between this place, and Fiore— precisely Earthland itself. It was like, as if he bestowed his foot in a whole other different world. Apparently, this world is full of surprises. And this was only a demonstration. Of course— it is unforgetable the occurence with the parallel universe, so called Edolas. Maybe he didn’t took part in this, since during that time he was in exile, yet, after his return, he was able to hear everything from his comrades. Another happening—- the reputed appearance of those seven Dragons. Seemingly, they were coming from another time, another dimension.}

_{≺ ϟ ≻ ——-   Regardless, should he render his magnitude to the pinkette? Most likely. Setting his structure into abatement was what he needed at the moment. And a comfortable place to stay, seemed a good concept. There was some luck, beholden he was. But knowing him— there was no way in hell he would express such sentiment. Of course, that depends on the atom that would stand right on his way. Had it been someone that he’s close to, things would have took a different shape. Yet, to a stranger, creating such impressions, would be a disadvantage— maybe in personal terms. And thus, to break the silence, with tranquility anointing his expressionism, here comes his deep voice.}

_{“Should we keep goin’?”}

    ^{Genuine graciousness caressed poise countenance as the male continued his speech. Vision never faltering, smile still in tact. Perhaps such an encounter wasn’t as bad as what Sakura thought of it to be after all. Unlike the others she met before, trusts were instilled within the medic from this meeting. Anything that Laxus may or may not wish to initiate, she would trust him without any hesitation no matter what any of the choices unraveled. It wasn’t something she would regularly do, because after all, this was Konoha. Not many people, especially the majority of her comrades couldn’t even bear to trust newcomers so hastily. Caution and staying alert were inevitable around the village. When it came to foreigners sauntering within Konoha boundaries–everyone had to keep a keen eye out for any of those who dared wish to set foot through the village.}

   ^{However, she was surprised that nobody caught sight of Laxus yet. They’ve been here for quite the amount of time, so it was a bit.. surprising. Nonetheless, Sakura’s sure that once she introduces him to her comrades and what amenities the village has to offer, everything will work out perfectly. Or in her eyes it will, at least. Delicate tiers managed to crack a gentle; upwards curve, eyelids slitting toward a content closure once her lips parted to speak. “M-mm! Let’s go.~” She instructed, palm motioning forward in his direction. It was only a matter of time until the two finally rummaged their way through the vacant streets. The surroundings seeming eerily peculiar, considering that nobody was at sight. Perhaps it might have simply been the hour of day? People did tend to have duties to complete during such a time, so maybe that was the reason. Either that, or they could’ve been doing their daily tasks they usually perform at home. Lucky for Sakura, her job finally left her some leisure time for the remainder of the day. And with Laxus being around, today was the perfect day to have some time off.}

   ^{A large breath of fresh air would be inhaled, small tinctures of pink gracing the bridge of her nose and allowing her smile to lift a bit further in size. After moments of walking, what better to do than to strike up a simple conversation? “Ne, so tell me..–” She paused herself for a moment, gaze traveling back toward his form, brows furrowed prior to reach. “Is it usual for you to set foot in other territories while walking aimlessly? I could only imagine how annoying it could be, considering that you live such a far distance.” A chuckle was emitted, footwear slapping against the solid pavement in pursuit. Somehow, the roseate found it somewhat hard to believe that he traveled this far by foot. Considering that Konoha was such a far distance from his hometown, she was only assuming that it could’ve been from that reason, or from the said quality he mentioned earlier on. Magic.}

   ^{Granted, she hadn’t even expected him to hold such a trait. With Sakura herself, to acquire medical abilities and perceptive insight, she finally came to a conclusion of how she truly felt about Laxus. He was kind, determined, and seemed to genuinely hold amiability, albeit hidden. It was all too clear to her that he held such traits, and she knew for a fact that he wouldn’t wish to start any mayhem to breakout through the village. Any fool being the epitome of idiocy could even realize that, despite them only crossing paths for about a good hour or so. With a sigh of content exiting her lips, she merely bestowed him a brief dip of the head. Arms traveling behind her svelte frame while allowing digits to link together in the process.}
