Aura was brought up short in shock by the revelation that Pollux was retiring from his position as Fairy Tail's Guild Master. He had been the master as long as she had been here, and indeed he'd already been in Fairy Tail for a long span of years when she arrived. However, really, what right did she have to be selfish and beg him to say? He'd been willing to take her in as a member of Fairy Tail when she was still young and weak. When it still took Aura's most intense concentration to requip even a basic weapon, and she could barely manage a half-way decent block, she'd been welcomed into Fairy Tail by the master. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't be as powerful a wizard as she was, in fact she may not even be a wizard at all.
However, he had also said that this woman, Charlotte, was to be the new guildmaster of Fairy Tail. While Aura didn't know the woman personally, she'd heard more than a few tales of the Saint of the High Seas. Frankly, Aura wasn't sure how to feel about this, not at all. One one hand, they were losing Master Pollux, and he was simply irreplaceable However on the other, they seemed to be gaining an equally powerful master, and if Pollux was to be believed, and Aura always believed him, she would be every bit as good of a person as him. Though her eyes grew faintly misty, she did give Master Pollux a small smile and a nod of faint approval.
"You deserve a happy retirement Master, but you are wrong about one thing. You won't be losing your children Master, you'll always be welcome in this Guild Hall, and you'll always be a member of my family at least." Aura said this all slowly, and then she added "I won't tell anyone about this Master, I think you'll want to make the announcement yourself. When that time comes and you tell the others about this, I'll stand by your side if you'd like." She then slowly thought and said slowly "Master, if you wish for me to do a recon for information about these missing children, I can assure you I won't be discovered. Even if I am, I can claim to simply be wandering on a day off, and what choice will they have but to accept that?"
