A Day We Spent Alone [Gil]

[syana]

Walking slowly into the guild hall was something Syana enjoyed greatly ever since she was given the power to be second in command. As the doors opened and the sight of the hall caused a sense of warmth to fill Syana's system. Standing there, she marvelled over the fact there was indeed barely anyone there. Looking around, she listened to the faint sound of rain hit the walls and windows and a hushed echo within the building. As the doors slowly closed and removed the sound of the rain that there was behind her, she moved down into the seating area and found a table to make herself comfortable on.
It's not like she didn't mind the quiet. It was just boring when you were the only mage in the hall. Looking around for something to do, Syana watched the barmaid work on cleaning the glasses and fixing up the bar in preparation for the night visit. Syana's lips formed into a warm, relaxed smile as she listened to the sound of the rain. 


Taking off her long pink shawl and folding it into a pillow she placed it down on the table and rested her chin against it. Realising just how soft and sweet it smelt was enough to cause her to exhale deeply. 
"Syana, do you know where Kasumi is?" The voice caused Syana to turn her head to face the barmaid. With a silent shake of the head, the barmaid frowned.
"Well, I need to talk to her about stock. If you see her, let me know." Nodding her head, Syana watched the barmaid as she turned away humming. 
Sure, Syana was the vice Guildmaster and it wasn't a secret, nobody really relied on her because she was more fill-in until Kasumi returned from her journey. From what Syana recalled all the business things were given to Kasumi so the girl was always such a busybody. She'd have to treat her best friend to some rest and relaxation when she got back. Looking at the empty mission board caused Syana to curl her lip. She'd done quite a few missions and her power had evolve greatly as a result of that. 

Looking at her pale palm and examining it back and front; her lips formed a smile and she closed her eyes dreamily. It was nice to be a part of a family guild where everyone seemed to get along. Sure people liked to get drunk and reckless when they felt like they accomplished stuff, but Kasumi was so careful that a lot of people had feared her. Syana on the other hand would often just watch from afar and enjoy the company. Sometimes guild members would come and talk to her and just relax, others would offer her drinks and watch her fall asleep after a handful.

Rain… Why did it have to rain? There was not even a decent storm to make being out and soaking wet worth it! Gil was thinking as he was making his way to the guildhall, he had finally decided to officially enrol after putting getting his stamp off for a few days to go and explore the town. It also didn’t help that Gil lived on the complete opposite side of the town and got distracted by things whenever he tried to get to the guild hall. There was one good thing, Gil’s unusual enchantment meant that he could keep most of the raindrops from getting near him and he could dry himself off if he got splashed.

The young man was nearly to the guild now; he had used his usual approach to foot travel of keeping off of the main roads as much as possible and as close to the sky as possible. Leaping from roof to roof rolling through puddles as he lands, the young man finally had to stop at the edge of one house because there was a large jump between it and the Guildhall.
“Okay Gil… You got this.” He took a few steps back and one deep breath “Gust control max.” He muttered before running at the edge full speed. Once he got the edge he threw his arms down as he launched himself with a little bit of help from his magic. In seconds, he was high in the air and in the middle of a large arc and feeling the best feeling he had felt in days…, which came to an abrupt ending as he started to fall.
“No no no no no no!” Gil shouted before thrusting his arms forwards trying to use his magic to slow the fall. There was a sudden gust of wind that hit the floor and the young man did slow down enough to make some sort of a safe landing…somewhat being a keyword in this situation. There was a resounding thud just outside the guildhalls doors as Gil landed and tolled into it , blowing it open with his magic and rolling straight into the hall. ”That… could of gone better.” He said once the roll had stopped and he was laying directly on his back staring into the sky.

A few moments passed where no one knew what to do at the sight of this young man just tumbling though the door soaking wet and then his comment on top of that. “OH I LIKE THIS ONE!.” One of the few members that was already there shouted out before laughing his ass off alone in the corner. The few others that were dotted around the hall joined him in his laugh and then so did Gil as he slowly sat up to look around.
“This is a big room… phew.” He added as his laugh died down and he inspected the hall properly.

[Rii]

Syana found herself drifting in and out of consciousness. Her body was completely chilled out and relaxed. Her cheek pressed to the shawl while she held tightly onto the sides of the shawl. Slowly lifting her head up at the sound of doors opening and people walk in, some of the much more familiar members entered the guild hall become a lot livelier. Syana's eyes drifted around the room as the mages gathered into the room with cheery, successful smiles while enjoying the achievements they had accomplished from their missions.
"Hey, Syana," A mage sat down next to her and prodded her cheek softly. "Why don't you come join us? We're celebrating the succession of a week mission we did. I feel so rich with all these jewels." 
Syana shrugged and shook her head, leaning up and watching the mage carefully. Seconds seemed to pass and Syana found herself picking up on an interesting magic. Something different to what she's usually used to.

The doors burst open and a person rolled in and landed with a thud. Looking in surprise, everyone seemed to gawk at the being who rolled in; they all began to laugh and he joined in. Syana slowly sat up straight and gazed over at them in confusion. Her green eyes filled with interest at the white-haired male who rolled in.
"This is a big room… phew.” The boy spoke and Syana's interest piqued. Slowly sliding off her chair and making her way over towards the boy who had made such an entrance. Leaning down slightly, she held her hand out towards him and gave him a small smile.
"The door isn't meant to be rolled into..." 

[Gil Gusterson (Gaz)]

"The door isn't meant to be rolled into..." a fine female voice said as a delicate looking hand was offered to help the young men. With a smile still platered onto his face he carefully grabeed it and shook

“You don’t know until you try. Besides I think that is a good rolling door…” He said before quickly slapping his freehand to the floor and pushing himself up, with some help from his magic of course. A gust of air got under Gil as he pushed himself up and in turn, the wind lifted him up and into a decent standing position.

“Hey. My Name is Gil and I am the new guy… I came to get my stamp.” He said with confidence and a grin, his hand still holding the delicate one that was first offered to help. His eyes moved to scan around the room, a few people were here and drinking already, there was a barmaid and then this woman in front of him. She seemed different from the others but he just could not quite put his finger on it.

Despite being out in the rain for so long he was relatively dry which was an oddity in rain as heavy as this, his white hair was a mess but that would be a standard for the air magic using mage. His pale red eyes seemed to be the oddest thing about him though. “So where would I get this stamp?” He asked before offering a slight cock to the side making his head lean and his smile had calmed down to a slightly happy looking curl in his lips. This was all a new experience for the lad and it would be the one that would make him or break him as a member of the guild; though what he has seen so far, he likes it. The big guild hall was really the main selling point so far.

It was now he realised that he was still holding his hand and in a single flustered movement he pulled his hand away causing a wind to blow from the back of the hall towards the door and slam it shut, which should of taken any attention away from his slightly rosy cheeks.

[syana]

Syana stood there with her hand held out and her green eyes focused on the boy who had rolled in. He looked up at her and their hands made contact, the contrast between the two skin colours showing his to be a snowier white and hers a porcelain white. Her fingers barely reached his finger tips, but she clasped her hand around his palm and beginning to tug when a sudden gust of wind caused her to stagger backwards at just how light this boy was and how quickly he had gotten off the ground. Her eyes filled with surprise as he stood there with a confident grin and the tail of the breeze making itself known as it bid goodbye.
"Hey. My Name is Gil and I am the new guy… I came to get my stamp.” Stamp? Syana mentally slapped herself. He meant the guild crest. He wanted one? Was he joining the guild? That was good news to hear and Syana just nodded her head to this. He was here to join Fairy Tail which would explain the magnificent entrance. Yup. He was definitely suitable for the guild. She watched him as he examined the room before looking towards her, their eyes meeting and she cocked her head to the side with a warm smile.


Upon closer inspection, Syana realised he wasn't wet. He was dry. Leaning close for an in depth examination, she found herself puzzled and baffled. His eyes were a magnificent shade of red and it certainly matched his overall appearance. Syana already deemed him a worthy mage just from his entrance, she began to grow curious. Like most times, she closed her eyes and focused for a few seconds. Suddenly opening them again, she found herself watching the magic stream within his body sway in vivid grey colours. Yup. She definitely recognised that, he had the exact same element to the magic that Kasumi did. As she relaxed her eyes and chased away the usual dull pain, she began get much more excited. This boy was a wind mage, but what kind of magic did he use his wind magic for? It would explain the random gust of wind before. With the smile on her face widening, the boy seemed to look puzzled. "So where would I get this stamp?”  Good question. Syana didn't really know herself. Looking around towards the other mages for hope they new, the barmaid heaved a sigh and gestured with her hand towards a small stamp on the corner of the bar. 
"There," Syana pointed over towards it with an incredibly confused expression to accompany it. The sound of skin hitting skin caused Syana to shift her gaze towards the barmaid once more being completely puzzled.
"The guildmaster puts it on," The barmaid explained before watching Syana slowly nod her head.
"I see..." 
"Syana!" The barmaid exhaled and she folded her arms. "Kasumi's not here right now, so you know what that means..."
"We wait for Kasumi to get back?"
"No, Syana. Please don't do this. You must apply it! You're the Vice Guildmaster, the assistant guildmaster! You have just as much power as her! You can do it! I know you're still adjusting to this all, but it's not rocket science." The barmaid cocked her head and frowned at the light mage before shaking her head and going back to cleaning glasses.


Syana's eyes moved slowly towards the boy and she took note of his face turning a shade of red. Did he have a fever? His magic stream shown no signs of illness. That was when she felt the warmth in her hand vanish and the doors magically slam by themselves. Realising he had removed his hand, Syana just gave him a reassuring smile; not entirely sure why he had grown so red and took his hand once more just to lead him towards the bar counter and take the stamp.
With it in her grasp, she examined him. "Where should I place it?"
"Well, where does he want it?" The barmaid piped up, clearly interested herself. 

[Gil Gusterson (Gaz)]

There seemed to be a bit of confusion going on, the barmaid had the stamp, but the guild master had to apply it and the guild master was away and the girl who was stood in front of Gil was the replacement? Everything was being strange and an entire conversation took place In front of Gil before all attention was turned back to him after leading him towards the bar of course.

"Where should I place it?" Syna asked with the stamp now in hand.

"Well, where does he want it?" The barmaid piped up straight after the question was posed.


The young man would just shrug. “Where ever is best really… My shoulder? Or does it have to be somewhere everyone can see it?” He asked before looking over to the clearly more experienced person here. As he did, he lifted the short sleeve that was on his right arm so his shoulder was visible, his eyes still on the barmaid the whole time.

“It doesn't really matter where you put it, but it is easier to prove you are with us if the seal is somewhere visible or easy to show.” The lady said with a confident smile filling Gil with it as well. She quickly placed her elbows on the counter and leaned her chin on them to watch Syna do her work as the Vice guild master.

“Yeah Okay, On the front of my right shoulder then. I can pull the sleeve up and if I really need to take the shirt off.” The young mage said full of confidence his face back to its usual pale complexion as his eyes moved back to Syna and the stamp. This was it, the moment he would be marked as a member of Fairy tail, a guild that his old friend and mentor mentioned all the time, a guild the entire town had heard of. It felt good to follow in the sprites footsteps, even though she had left the guild a long time ago.


Once the stamp was pressed to his skin and removed all that was left was the guilds mark, just as white as his hair it was just there on his skin. It was not on his chest but just above it where his arm and collarbone met. “Huh that didn't hurt…. If I see Sammie again I will tell her she is a liar.” He said whilst examining the white mark, the mention of the name Sammie would most likely raise a question or two so before the girls in front of him had a chance he answered it. “Sammie used to be a member along time ago; she said she left before I was born…. About 20 years ago now. Do you know her?” He asked with a voice full of happiness and a smile on his face, not knowing that these girl probably never heard of the takeover magic using wind mage.

[syana]

"Where ever is best really… My shoulder? Or does it have to be somewhere everyone can see it?” His response caused Syana to give a small look of wonder. Shifting her gaze down to her own dress, she looked at the collar which covered a majority of her shoulders and revealed none of her chest. Her mark was always hidden and she began to feel bad about that. Perhaps she should discuss with Kasumi about there being an emblem on all the pieces of clothing. 
Nodding to her own thoughts, Syana adjusted the sleeves on her clothes and fixed her collar.
"It doesn't really matter where you put it, but it is easier to prove you are with us if the seal is somewhere visible or easy to show.” Giving the barmaid a grateful look, she shifted her gaze towards Gil once more with her lips pursed.
“Yeah Okay, On the front of my right shoulder then. I can pull the sleeve up and if I really need to take the shirt off.” Gil spoke up and Sya's gaze shifted slowly down his arm and up to his shoulder blade. 
Deciding best to usually staying quiet, her pale lips stayed pressed in a straight line and her green eyes filled with wonders of the world. Looking at the stamp in her grasp, she moved the stamp close to his body and placed it down on his chosen spot.

"Huh that didn't hurt…. If I see Sammie again I will tell her she is a liar.” As Syana moved away and placed the stamp down carefully and then exchanged a look of confusion with the barmaid.
"Sammie?" The barmaid asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Sammie used to be a member along time ago; she said she left before I was born…. About 20 years ago now. Do you know her?" The barmaid shrugged and Syana just watched.
"I'm afraid not. I only recently joined on the previous refurbish," looking towards Syana and then back towards the newcomer, the barmaid folded her arms and looked up towards the ceiling questionably. "Syana and Kasumi are both recent members, sorry."
