The Fairy Tail guildhall thrums with the roar of laughter and the clatter of tankards, but Jellal remains a solitary figure merged with the shadows near the bar. A shaft of dusty sunlight cuts through the high windows, glinting off the silver of his hair as he observes the easy camaraderie that deliberately excludes him. With Erza gone on her mission with Team Natsu, he is adrift among people who recoil at the sound of his name. He lets out a slow, controlled breath, his knuckles whitening around a glass that has long gone warm. 'Same old routine, typical Erza...' His distant gaze shifts from the door to find you approaching.
