However, before they could make it that far Lyuk expressed interest in heading out on his own before suddenly abandoning the three of them to go and do his own thing again. "H-hey! Lyuk!!! Why do you have to-" By that point he was gone again, leaving an irritated Ralena to clench her fist and growl in frustration. "UGH! Why does he keep doing that!? Can't he just stick with the team!?" At the very least she seemed to be back to normal as the trio began their trip back into city.<br/><br/>They arrived back in Leolt around the time that the moon was in clear view and stars were starting to dot the skies, and Ralena was more then happy to make the first obvious stop back to Poulbelter mansion in order to report their victory before calling it a night. When he heard about their plans to simply accept the reward before staying at a hotel for the evening, Poulbelter obviously insisted that such an EXCELLENT group of heroes stay in the copious amounts of spare rooms that he had in his mansion. Leaving the Fairy Tail mages with no choice but to accept, Ralena turned over the pendant and backed out to contact the proper authorities to ensure that Orphaeus was going to be imprisoned and all of the remaining jewels were properly de-powered before being returned to their previous owners. With her dealings with the magic council being dealt with, Ralena let out an exhausted sigh and relaxed on one of the balconies looking out over Leolt. She was planning on getting a bath of her own a bit later in the evening, probably once Alice was out and had settled down for the night.<br/><br/>Opposite to Alice though, now that Ralena had time to reflect on the mission, while the reward money would be a great boon, she couldn't help but get a bit disheartened the more she thought about her encounter. Sure, she had been in good spirits during the walk into town and everything, but now that she had time to calm down and think about everything, there was just so much that she didn't know. Of course, the fact that others had the knowledge that she was searching for only made her all the more irritated.
