Obviously, she didn't listen to a single word of it, and she didn't even address him until the two of them were in front of the request board and she let go of his wrist. At least when she spoke this time, it was with a more normal volume and with a slightly more understanding look in her eye. "C'mon, there's no reason to be like that, Luca. I mean, you're a Fairy Tail mage! Why reject the opportunity to fight alongside an ally? Besides! You and I have never teamed up before, I barely know anything about you other then your name! The members of this guild are my family, so like it or not, I wanna get to know you a little bit better, even though you like being shut off and being left all by yourself."<br/><br/>She smiled energetically, putting a hand on Luca's shoulder as she offered him a bright, eager smile. "And trust me! Missions are WAAAAAAAAAAY more fun when you're doing them with friends. Just try it this once, and I promise that you'll never want to go back, okay?" Well, at least Luca couldn't hold her lack of honesty against her, Ralena was one of the most honest and genuine people in the guild, and a massive part of her desire to team up with Luca did appear to be driven by a desire to show him a good time, along with the merits of working with friends. Either way, once she was satisfied that he was okay, since he had resolved before that he<em>was</em>willing to come along, no matter how reluctantly, Ralena would rest her back up against the corner of the request board before grabbing one with a respectable looking reward. "Lookie here! Check this one out, looks pretty easy. Apparently some fat cat in a nearby city had some sort of family heirloom stolen, and he wants it back. That's a mother lode of jewels on the line just for roping up one petty thief. It'll take us, what? Like, a day or two?"<br/><br/>Ralena then turned towards Luca, that energetic spark showing up in her eye again where Luca would have an<em>extremely</em>difficult time telling the black haired girl 'no' and getting the answer to stick. "I know! Let's see if anybody else wants in on this! The more people we have with us, the faster we'll track down our thief, and the faster we get to payday! Besides, like I said before, missions get more fun when more people get involved!"
