The pink-haired girl was showing him a mission, an S-class mission no less, and it revolved around water in some way, or the lack of in this case. Listening to her, he squinted his sharp blue eyes to the mission as he read the details about it more closely. There were no hints as to which state or the amounts of the eggshells, and Xeo was skeptical as to her plans to bring a dragon to life from remains. His eyes diverted upwards as he began to think things through. She had a usual teammate to his memory, so that would entail splitting the reward 3-ways. It still represented a sum of 300,000 jewel each. Would they be fine on an S-class mission with 1 S-class and 2 normal mages? Admittedly, it was also 2 dragon slayers teaming up, one of them being the S-class herself. While he quickly thought, he shifted his weight and the icy wings folded down against his back, glistening in the sunlight. His tail shifted around nonchalantly, practically like it was part of his being. There was a realism and liveliness to the extra icy members of his body that would definitely strike the eye of anyone whom ad the chance to come across an actual dragon. It was years of practice beside his mother, whom he took example of and adapted his magic to befit their lifestyle.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: #0000FF">Hmm... Though I doubt of your results and ambitions with the dragon eggshells, I believe I may actually be of use to you. I understand that you are a 2-cell team, and though you may have the title of S-class, this job may prove difficult without anyone with water magic. And it still gives us enough jewel at the end to fill our pockets for a while... You think your teammate will be okay with my participation?</span>" Xeo asked, after giving her a rough idea of his assessment of her situation versus the mission. The sharp blue eyes moved from the mission poster to the girl, locking into her eyes. He wasn't very familiar with all the powers and abilities of the members of Fairy Tail, having joined only recently, so he couldn't tell what each mage could do. One often has a large and handy team of mages when taking S-class missions, able to cover more ground and help in all sorts of situations. He could only trust in his own skills until he could know otherwise.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: #0000FF">It's not everybody who likes the cold.</span>" He added, as he moved his glance from the girl once more, but this time, to his left wing which stretched out as he motioned to it with his hand. "<span style="color: #0000FF">Those who know me here think I am a very cold-blooded being. I may be praised for my power, but I'm also feared for it.</span>" Xeo added before looking back at Draco. Maybe as a dragon slayer, she would understand what he meant, but the boy doubted it. She had been with Fairy Tail for much longer than he, she was one of them. While he was just a new guy who has a bad past, troubling people and even taking lives. He could understand why they'd be afraid of the Wraith, and he was all too aware that teamwork was his weakness. Team-mates didn't concord very well with Xeo's array of abilities, and sometimes had failure on their hands due to it. Not that he couldn't get out of a bind, but he wasn't the most helpful of people to have around. Xeo is used to fighting for himself, not so much fighting for others.
