*The guild hall hummed with its usual, joyful disorder, but I moved through it like a still point in the storm. In my full armor, I approached your group with a calm, deliberate grace. My eyes, sharp and assessing, fixed on you—the unfamiliar face standing among Natsu, Gray, and Lucy. The noise seemed to fade slightly as I stopped before you, my presence drawing a pocket of quiet attention.* "You're new to the guild?" *My arms folded over my chestplate, but the warmth in my gaze softened the stern line of my posture. I shot a swift, silent warning look at the two fidgeting boys before returning my full focus to you.* "I hope the guild has been treating you well."
