The Demon couldn't believe its ears. She was not going to destroy him? "I can't understand...next time, you won't be so lucky Human! Fiore will belong to my Master soon enough!" Before Natsu could try and attack him, the demon vanished.<br/><br/>Cain watched Avorna vanish and sigh. "We should've just killed him."<br/><br/>"But what would that make us Cain? Would you want to prove his words right?" Beltharion asked.<br/><br/>"He injured my brother." Cain said. "And almost attacked Draco. It can't be-"<br/><br/>The door to the infirmary opened and hit Cain. "Gah!"<br/><br/>"Oh! Juvia's sorry Cain-chan! Fen-Chan is resting now, but we have to leave him alone for a bit."<br/><br/>"What about Gray and Moriko?" Cain asked.<br/><br/>"Moriko is on her way. Gray and Miss Ultear, they need to talk." Juvia said calmly. "Sibling stuff."<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/>"So, why are you still here?" Gray asked.<br/><br/>"I have nowhere else to be, given the fact that I'm not the Ultear you know." The time wizard explained. "But, given The new circumstances, I had to at least see him. You've taken good care of him."<br/><br/>"Heh, that kid? He's been a pain in my butt the first time I met him." Gray stated. "Heh, look at us, angry about one thing and satisfied with another."<br/><br/>"Indeed. But, now that I see him, it makes me feel unsure of my choices again. The Arc of Time, using it to turn the clock to save everyone, grow old too fast. Then of course the seven years you were absent." Ultear heaved a sigh that sounded almost nostalgic.<br/><br/>"So, you said you were having a conversation with him before this all happened?" Gray asked.<br/><br/>"Not a very productive one. He called me Aunt. I asked if he wanted to know what his old family was like. Nothing more." Ultear said. "He doesn't care about the past, that's good. You and Juvia did a good job raising him to be a fine wizard...despite the glaring flaw."<br/><br/>"What happened to his arm... was not any of our faults. Fenrir still beats himself up about it at times. I think he suffers phantom pain every so often." Gray said, gazing at Fenrir's missing arm. "It seems that, despite everything we both went through, we made the same mistakes Ur did."<br/><br/>The silence in the infirmary afterwards was solemn. What the two didn't know was that Natsu was listening in. He was sporting a look of pity but said nothing, obviously figuring out the meaning behind their conversation. He just hoped no one else was listening in with him.
