"Oh, and are you taking credit for that?" She smiled. He should, he encouraged her every step of the way. Well, there were rough patches when she had been selfish and a little whiny at first - but even those moments were few and far between. Though thinking of that, Lucy couldn't help but think back to Luna, the daughter from the... future? Alternate world? She never did clarify that... she glanced at Natsu out of the corner of her eye, but before she could say anything, a newly recovered Mira approached with Regine, clutching the other woman's arm excitedly, "Sorry about the delay you two~!" Ah, they're so cute she can't handle iit. "And Regine knows so many of our usual recipes. Even new ones - she promised to teach me."

Lucy grinned, "I'm glad she's a help for you. Where's Master Makarov?"

Mira put a finger to her lips, "Actually, the Master was called away just recently, with Gildarts. They'll be back in a week or so. They'll be so glad to see you - together!" eeee!
