Aura, when summoned, nodded and followed Mary back to the Master's position at the table, commenting "I'm doing well, however, y Sou needn't bow to me Mary, I'm no different from any other member of the Guild aside from my power and the requests I may take." She then carefully made her way to the table, taking the seat that the Master had indicated. She gave a light smile and replied to Pollux's greeting with a "I'm glad you are feeling better Master, you worried us." She then listened to his words and carefully looked over any papers within her eyesight, frowning as she did. The fact that kids were going missing was worrying, especially when considering the link to the Dark Guilds. She narrowed her eyes ever so slightly, commenting "Master, is it possible that this is a deliberate bait? They know that the Fairy Tail guild notices when things like this happen, and I don't think they'd return to human sacrifice, or rather, if they had I feel like we'd have known before now." With that, she gave a soft "Hmm" sound as her left hand floated to her chin in thought. The fingers of her right hand slowly tapped on the table as she thought, and then she pointed out "Why would the council forbid us from interfering? This particular set of incidents is unlikely to lead to any city, and thus not likely to any more collateral damage, so why stop our guild from trying to intervene? I don't like the way that sounds." She looked over at the two departing on the job then, adding "If you get into any trouble, try to let us know and I'll come aid you. I'm sure that I can arrive fast enough to aid you with my Armor of Heaven." With that, she looked back to the master and requipped into the aforementioned armor to demonstrate. She then added "Should the council choose not to allow us to intervene, master, then perhaps a lone, concerned wizard of Fairy Tail could investigate. As an individual and not a representative of the guild, of course." She lightly tapped the the thin breastplate of her armor to demonstrate, saying "After all, the children of this town are part of the future of our guild, not to mention their complete innocence. regardless of the council's word it is important that we protect them."
