It was a beautiful day, and Aria felt quite at peace as the Pride ambled down the quaint cobblestone roads. Like Estelle said the town was very pretty with a relaxing atmosphere, something she very much welcomed after the whole fiasco at the circus. Luckily Amy had been taking very good care of their wounds, and while the gash in her shoulder still needed to be bandaged lightly, it was healing at a remarkable rate. In exchange, she had promised to buy a couple of drinks for the healer next time they had a chance. 

She stooped down to pluck a vibrant wildflower from the side of the street, tucking it discretely into Lulu's hair as he answered their leader's question. 

"I haven't been here before either." The illusionist inhaled deeply, enjoying the slight breeze. "It's certainly gorgeous here, isn't it?" Though a certain Berserker's shouts indicated that she was feeling less than tranquil. Aria gave a small huff of laughter- some things jut never changed. Her smile fell slightly when she noted how much quieter the group had become after Lucy left. Xan too- she really missed her friend. Hopefully the metallurgist would get her hand fixed quickly so the two could come back soon.

The guild was small, and unfortunately missing a bar. Aria gave a sigh of disappointment, giving an understanding grin at Moira's outburst. 

[i]“Syed! Moira! Estelle! Marcus! Amy! Trixie! I can’t believe it’s you guys!”[/i]

Eh? Before Aria knew it, she was embraced in a very energetic hug. She blinked, eyes following the man as he proceeded to embrace every member of the Pride, suffering a hard slap to the face courtesy of Amy. It didn't take long for her to realize that this man was most likely another acquaintance of the Pride's, and she replied as such to the confuzzled Lute's question with an amused smile. The man was certainly lively, impressively recovering from Amy's blow like nothing had happened in the first place. They were joined by a woman who introduced herself, and Aria was very much bemused by her talking parrot. Trixie was much less enthusiastic about this talking bird, however, shrieking and ducking behind the illusionist. 

"Hey, hey, what's wrong? It's just a talking parrot," she chuckled at the girl who looked as if she was trying her best to glare at the bird through the illusionist's feathered scarf. "What happened to teasing Tobi about a girlfriend?" She placed a reassuring hand on the girl's head nonetheless, doing a double take when she spotted that two more men had joined the group and were trying to flirt with Estelle and- with Marcus? The people here sure were friendly. 

"Nice to meet you, Nani. Captain," she returned the salute. "I'm Aria. And this is Trixie," she patted the girl on the head, trying to calm the poor girl down. Did she not like parrots? "It's very nice to meet you."
