Lucy sighed, walking out of the grand golden palace that held the most powerful spirit which was the king of the realm. The one she praised and practically worshiped, taking her job as the Bearer of keys seriously. But to give away even one golden key? 
She sighed again, looking down at her starry dress,"Well you look depressed,"Lucy turned her head to see one of the zodiac, one of the strongest to be exact.
Loki walked up to her,"What happened?"he asked, placing his hand on her bare shoulder.
"I have to go down to earth land to give a celestial wizard two of the zodiac keys. I'm a bit nervous, I mean... I have a hard enough time with the air there, and now to give away something so precious-"
"Lucy, stop worrying. If the king picked the person then you shouldn't question his decision,"Loki spoke, slipping some hair behind her ear.
"I am not questioning his decision, I'm questioning the person. I know next to nothing about this... Yukino Agria girl,"Lucy crossed her arms,"What if she is-"
"-Like Karen?"Leo finished for her,"The King wouldn't choose her if she was. You have to trust his decision."
"Will you assist me, Leo?"she asked.
"Of course, I promised I would since the day you saved me,"he took her hand and kissed it.
"I couldn't stand back and have you be destroyed, when in truth you had done nothing to 'kill' Karen. Please tell me you are still not blaming yourself for her death, are you?"
"No, not anymore. There's no worry needed for me."
"I believe you. Now I assume I should not be wearing such... 'flashy' attire?"she held onto the skirt of her dress,"Unfortunately, I do not have any clothes from Earthland to match their simple styles of fabric."
"You can talk very elegantly when you wish too,"Loki chuckled a bit.
"And what is wrong with that?"
"Nothing is 'wrong' with it, but I suggest you don't speak of high class as much down in Earthland. People do not usually speak in that formality unless they have been adorned with a rich family. But a lot of people believe the rich to be snotty and their children to be spoiled."
"I believe you forget that my father was from Earthland and was a man with great wealth,"she pointed out.
"Yes, I remember. But you were not raised from a rich status, you were raised in this realm to be a great celestial wizard."
"I know that, but speaking in a different form may prove to be difficult. I am not someone who can easily blend in with a crowd."
"You will do just fine,"he put his hands on her shoulder,"And for clothes, I will get you some back in Earthland."
"Can I trust you to pick something that will not be so revealing as that dress you had given me from Earthland after going out with your... Multiple girlfriends, you jigalo~"
"They aren't my 'girlfriends', they're friends."
"'friends'."
"I will get you for your teasing," he stepped forward.
"You wouldn't hurt a fly~"
"No, but you're not a fly-are you."
"No, but-" she squeaked as Leo's hand took her hand.
"We'll leave for Earthland tomorrow,"he let go and began walking away.
