Spending too much time worrying and thinking and overthinking and planning considering alternatives to alternatives was ... not really healthy for a young girl like Lucy, who's been stressed and upset over the entire scenario with the Hands of Decay - not to mention the other reports she's seen over the network. But with the Master of Fairy Tail having been ...unavailable to say the least, for some time, most of the responsibilties fell to her and Natsu.
And that was fine, because at least she knew they could get things done. But Virgo and Loke had insisted that she needed to take a break and get some fresh air -away- from Fayren for at least an hour or so, and though Loke would have -loved- to escort her, Lucy was equally insistent on going with -her- partner. She needed to relax, and she always felt at ease and calmer with him. Plus, she knew her spirits were right - she'd been feeling burned out and frazzled lately; enough that Virgo and Loke had actually agreed to stay in the guild with Bridget to stand guard. As much as she'd have liked to ask Levy to stand watch too, her friend was not..really meant for battle.
In any case, she did reluctantly march out of the guild and past the barrier that had been erected by Loki, making her way towards Nova City with Natsu in tow (or vice versa). "Let's get something to drinkn from that coffee shop first," Lucy suggested to Natsu, "Then we can start checking the stores I guess. I don't know we're going to have any luck here, but it's better than nothing.." And the fresh air was helping. Little did she know it was the same coffee shop that Weiss had gone into - but their conversation was bound to be interesting one!
Action to the Coffee Shop with Weiss, Lucy and Natsu!
