Quinn shook her head in turn and Igneel huffed. "Alright I'll purchase some in the station." He muttered as he continued walking. Compared to the other two surrounding him, Igneel looked like he should be a popsicle. Bare chest, sleeveless overcoat, baggy shorts, he wasn't even close to dressed for the weather. But yet he wasn't shivering or appeared to be cold at all.

Hale chuckled. "That's probably for the best," she said. She's seen him without meds and it wasn't pretty. Granted, she'd also seen his father travel and that took things to a whole other level, so she supposed she should count herself lucky he hadn't inherited the full extent of it. She didn't, mostly because she was too busy being generally tickled by the whole thing.

Igneel nodded and smiled as they continued walking, looking around slowly. "Awful quiet right now... even being a bit nippy." He said. There weren't many people out, and no one in a group except themselves.
Quinn looked around and nodded slowly. "That's true..." She said worriedly.

Azeal looked around them, frowning. "Yeah," he said, studying the streets. "Probably nothing though, right? It's cold out and not everyone has a human fire walking around with them," he said, using his head to indicate Igneel. "The guild will notice, too, surely." It was clear that he didn't want to slow down, already set on doing this job as quickly as possible.

Igneel nodded slowly, shrugging it off and then walking onward with Quinn quickly following. Once they made it to the train station, he let the fireball vaporize at it was nice and warm inside the building. After quickly getting some motion sickness pills he walked back to the others. "Alright shall we get the tickets?" He asked.
Quinn nodded and pointed at the ticket booth. "Hey Azeal you still have the poster with our destination?" She asked, turning to him.

Azeal fished it out of his pocket and brandished it like a weapon. "Cirrane Town," he read, holding it out for the others to see. "Two hour train journey," he continued, now reading off the nearby signs.
"I'll get us tickets, then," Hale said, already walking towards the ticket booth. "The rest of you should find us seats." With that, she turned to the woman in the booth, chattering warmly while they exchanged money for tickets. The whole thing was rather uneventful, and so she walked to find the others only a minute later, tickets in hand.

Igneel had already ingested a dose of motion sickness pills and they were looking for a mostly open car, Quinn having summoned a small rapier in case of anyone who might try anything.

Hale found them quickly. Quinn's sword was hard to miss. "For you," she said, handing the tickets to her friends as she fell into step beside them. "One-way. I didn't know how long we'd be gone."
Azeal accepted his ticket, tucking it into the same pocket as the job listing. "How about this one?" he said, pointing in through an open door to a car containing only one other passenger - a balding man who appeared to be rather ordinary, if a little fascinated by Quinn's weapon.

Quinn looked inside the car and, seeing the balding man, frowned softly and made her sword vaporize. "I don't know... Are there any others?" She said, but it was a moot point as Igneel was already up the steps and about to open the car door.

Hale had been following Igneel up the steps, happy to take the first car that was at least almost empty, when Quinn protested. "We'll keep an eye on him," she said. "And you're armed. What could he do?" They were all armed in their own way. That was her favourite thing about magic. She was never defenceless, meaning that she didn't have to worry too much about other people or their intentions. She took care of herself.

"Unless his magic is blocking other magic." The young girl retorted in a mutter as she followed them on. Igneel stepped into the car, nodding to the gentleman and sitting down a ways away fro the man, with Quinn soon sitting down as well.

"Then we'll have Azeal's incredible hand-to-hand prowess to save us," Hale said, grinning. Azeal, apparantely, did not find it amusing because he jabbed her in the side with his elbow. Hale simply brushed him off, still grinning at her own genius.
"Too soon, Lockser," he muttered, finding his seat.

Igneel rolled his eyes and chuckled. "Oh come on dude that's so fifteen minutes ago." He said as he relaxed and yawned. "So how are all your families doing?" He asked as he tries to strike up a conversation.

Hale shrugged. "You know dad. He's just as bitter as always. And I never could tell how mum's doing, she's so all over the place all the time. Still, I think they're good. Dad's gone out on some new job so I haven't heard anything in a while, but I'm used to that." Her parents weren't together anymore - whatever it was they'd had hadn't lasted through the pregnancy, even - but she was used to getting info on her dad through Juvia anyway. He'd always been busier than her. "What about yours? Is Natsu out with dad?"

Ah))
Igneel shrugged and looked around. "Probably, though that means mom is probably with them too." He said as he looked out the window. Seeing everything moving so quickly, Igneel instantly refretted that and looked at the table, covering his mouth with a fisted hand.
Quinn rolled his eyes. "Don't you ever learn Ig? Don't look outside!"

Hale couldn't help but laugh even as she patted Igneel on the back comfortingly. "Seriously, you'd think you knew better than that," she commented, looking out of the window herself. There was something about seeing the scenery speed past that was both beautiful and terrifying at the same time.

Igneel rolled his eyes. "Ah shut up." He muttered quietly.
Quinn rolled her eyes again and smiled softly to herself. She was more on the quiet side, and was also inquisitive. So currently she turned to look around the car, seeing if anyone else got on the same car.

"Never," Hale promised with a grin.
Azeal had leant back and closed his eyes, wanting to make the best of this time and get some rest. He'd learned a while ago to filter out the sounds of chattering, growing up in a guild meant that there was never a shortage of noise. He peeled one eye open now, raising his brow and looking at the others. "So, do we know just what those outlaws are doing?" he asked, glancing between them before closing his eyes again.

Quinn looked over at him with a 'Really?' Look on her face. "The details are on the back of the flyer. The one in your pocket. That you've been carrying the whole time."

"I know," Azeal responded, impossibly leaning further back. "But all it says is that they're 'an annoyance and a disruption of our town's day to day life' which doesn't really tell me anything."
"And it told us more?" Hale retorted, to which Azeal only shrugged.
"You're the one who reads between the lines all the time."

Igneel rolled his eyes. "It can't be too bad given the poor payout. No worries." He said as he leaned back and tries to get some shuteye.

"True," Azeal allowed with yet another shrug. Still, he wanted more. But he realised that nobody in the car would have answers, so he resigned himself to sleep. "Hale, wake me if something fun happens, yeah?" He didn't listen for an answer and she didn't give one, just poked his knee with the toe of her boot to signal that she'd heard him.
