Christina moved over from the bar where Pan now sat, his belly stuffed with peanuts, and towards the request board. She couldn't afford to go another day without work, and she recalled seeing a job that would suit her perfectly. She reached her hand up to grab the request, but was surprised when she found that it had already been taken. She clenched her fist in the air and let out a long sigh. This was her punishment for over sleeping. Near her she could hear Fisk and Aura talking to the new members about taking on a request. A rescue mission for a young girl kidnapped by bandits. Her eyes widened in realization. That was the request she'd set her sites on. She could have really used those 40,000 jewels. Sucking it up, she walked over to the group. They could probably use the money more than she could, and it did seem like a good request to take the new members on. Approaching them, she flashed a smile at the new members.
"Well, aren't you two just adorable. I trust Fisk and Aura are making you comfortable?" She gave the two mages in her guild a quick, stern look. The reputation of her guild was everything to her, and she expected them to uphold it. "My name is Christina Montgomery, I've been here for a long time so feel free to ask me anything these two can't answer." She gave the group a quick nod before staring at the job request. She wanted to cry, seeing it someone else's hands. Ignoring the 40,000 jewels that had just slipped through her fingers, she stared at Fisk and Aura once more.
"I know you want to help these two get the hang of taking on jobs, but I suggest you guys leave now. Who knows what they might be doing to that poor girl." She patted them on the shoulders, wishing them luck before heading back to the bar where Pan was taking sips of ale from an oblivious mans pint. She was about to scold him, but then she realised it would just be a waste of efforts. Scooping him up in her hands, she headed back to the request board where Elijah was asking about Dark Guilds. She didn't know why he kept taking requests involving them; she did her best to avoid jobs like that. There was always a chance she'd run into members from Black Knight whenever she took one, and if they revealed who she was to her guild mates they would surely turn against her.

"You're already looking to take another request Elijah?" Christina said as she walked up to the board, scanning for another well paying job. There was one involving translating an ancient text for 8,000 jewels. That was a task she could get done quickly enough with Velpecula, so she tore it off. The text was attached to the back of the request, so she'd be able to do it from the guild. "Well, if you feel like taking a break for today I wouldn't mind going to get some coffee after I finish this request. Perhaps you should ease up a bit and join me?" Christina had no interest in dating anyone at the guild, and even though Elijah was quite handsome the only motive she had for inviting him out was to stop him from taking another request chasing after dark guilds. Every request he took may involve him running into Black Knight, and the fact that Christina had abandoned them to join Fairy Tail meant that they wouldn't hesitate to reveal her to anyone from Fairy Tail. She couldn't have that. She stared at Elijah, awaiting his response to her request.
