What. That - totally making up rules now! Oh well, Lucy would learn from this - maybe. Justyne, meanwhile, meandered off of the 'playing field' so to speak, occasionally glancing around to catch sight of her brother or Natsu, wondering where either of them had hidden.
Occasionally, when Natsu lured Herb away from Nev's hiding place, he could hear Lucy laughing, "Herb, what are you doing, you silly dog -? Come back here -!" Honestly, she checked that spot five times now and Neveren hadn't been there. Althoooooooough that lump of leaves was suspiciously lumpy, even for a leaf pile.
Her suspicions were proven when Herb charged back towards her, and without Natsu to lure him away this time, he made a flying leap into the pile. Leaves EVERYWHERE. Lucy yelped in surprise, but burst out laughing when she saw the boy who had been hiding under all of that. "Neveren! Look at you, you're a mess!"
A mess, but he was proud of himself. You're proud too, right Natsu? Right? See, they're clever bitties.
