[colour=Gold]“No, I think I’ll manage, thank you,”[/colour] Luka replied to Torie with obvious amusement as Iggy barrelled out of the carriage ahead of her as if propelled by some explosive force. The fact that he immediately seemed to turn on Luka and Torie with some apparent notion of retribution made her laugh out loud. Taking hold of her staff Luka carefully climbed out of the carriage and took a moment to dust herself off. [colour=Gold]“Cool it flame brain,”[/colour] Luka said with no real enthusiasm and took a moment to stretch with a satisfied groan. Ignoring Iggy she quickly surveyed the town and almost at once felt a disquieting sensation that something was off. Not least the fact that from appearances there was absolutely no way in hell that this town could pay the kind of reward that they had offered. The welcoming committee did little to alleviate her concerns. She sighed and rubbed her head, feeling a headache coming on.

[colour=Gold]“My name is Luka Magnolia. These are my fellow Fairy Tail guild members, Iggy, Karn, Mimi and Torie,”[/colour] Luka said in a neutrally polite tone as she motioned to each of the wizards in turn, her intent being to dispense with the pleasantries as soon as possible. She offered her hand to the man in a polite gesture. He would feel a slight but harmless jolt emanating from her skin. Harmless but attention focusing. [colour=Gold]“Now, since we are here, perhaps you could elaborate on the…finer details of this request. The reward was very enticing to be sure. I'm sure you can understand that we might have a few concerns about that?”[/colour] Luka said with a gentle smile that possessed something of a sadistic quality to it. He would find that her grip was surprisingly firm for someone of her delicate features.
