Respawn!
Noah nodded his head as Kelica poked a hole in both of their ideas. Her reasoning for keeping the manticore here made perfect sense. But when she cried and stormed off, all the other feelings he had quickly faded away as his heart sank. He didn't understand this feeling he had in his body, it was completely new for him. As Noah stood there conflicted with himself, Chris ran over and tried cheering up Kelica. Noah was completely and utterly confused. He didn't understand why he was feeling this way. This wasn't his first time seeing a girl cry, but for some reason seeing Kelica break down broke him. Noah started to walk towards the kitchen but he stopped when he saw her moving. She filled a vase with water, which he guessed it was for the manticore, he turned and looked back at the resting beast. A couple of seconds he noticed Kelica walking over towards the beast, where she checked his heart rate. From what he could tell the beast had a pretty steady heart rate. Noah smiled lightly as Kelica made her way over towards him.
[SIZE= 16px]The weird feeling in Noah's body went away when Kelica asked to go for a walk with him. Finally, things have calmed down enough for them to actually be alone. Noah smiled and nodded his yeah. Yeah we can go for a walk, and I'll tell you everything I did while away. But before we go... Noah looked at her attire and his realizing neither of them were properly dressed for the cold. We both should probably change. with that being said Noah used transformation magic to change his entire clothing attire. [/SIZE]I'm sure you have a room here in Fairy Tail right? I'll wait here while you change.

Chris sighed as Kelica said that she essentially wasn't her dad and that she was too soft. "You're not too soft, and you're not your dad. You're Kelica Zefara, and it's time you recognize that. You will never be your father, you'll never be your mother, but the one thing you will be is you. Strive to be different, not just a carbon copy. While you may not be the same as your parents, and while you may never reach their level, you'll surpass them in ways you could never imagine. Everyone has different response to situations, your response, and you're father's response are two very different things. You have to make something of yourself, copying your parents is not the way. Be who you want. That's honestly all I can say." Chris lectured as he held her by her shoulders, looking her square in the eyes. It hurt Chris to see Kelica think like that, it really did. And right now, it was his job as a friend to try and help her through things like this. This way, she grew stronger. Not physically, not mentally, but emotionally.
A grin somehow found a way onto Chris' face during this entire thing when Kelica reached over and began to rub the back of his ears. It had been so long since he had last felt a loving touch like that. He almost didn't want her to stop. His enjoyment came to an end as Kelica mentioned them not talking as much as they used to. To this, Chris' eyes merely looked down at the floor as he simply shrugged. "Yeah, guess not." Was all he had to say in response to this. As she brought up Noah, Chris couldn't help but joke. "Maybe he came back for you," Chris said while nudging her slightly "I would....you know what I mean."
When Chris was asked to watch over the manticore while Kelica and Noah went out for a walk to catch up, Chris simply nodded as he followed Kelica to fill up a vase. He took it and placed it down next to him when Kelica told him that he was the best friend anyone could ask for. He was rewarded with a small kiss on his cheek. Chris however, returned the favor by bringing Kelica into a hug. After a few seconds, Chris released Kelica and said,"Thanks, don't really think anyone's really ever said that to me before. I'll make sure to watch that manticore, be careful out there."
And without saying another word, Chris picked up the vase and carried it out to the manticore. He gently placed it down out of its reach and sat down with it. The manticore still seemed rather ditsy seeing as how it was tapping the wood with its paw without a care in the world. Every now and then, it'd roll about but always end up in the same place. It wasn't as talkative as before (although Chris couldn't blame it seeing as what it went through not too long ago), but Chris didn't mind. He offered the vase to the manticore, and was surprised to see it walk over and begin lapping water from it for a while. Once it had its fill, it turned around and plopped back down on the ground. What were they going to do with this thing.

The Forest Mage peered up to Noah with a tilt of her head. She couldn't help it, if he smiled, she did to, it was almost addictive in a way and it was completely uncontrollable. It was like her face would move of it's own accord even if she tried not to. He seemed to like the idea of a walk and her hands lifted up to clasp at her chest and you could almost see her start to bounce on the spot. Of course he stopped and said before they went, that was when she watched his gaze drift towards over her frame before it lifted up again to her face and the second his eyes returned he might have noticed her cheeks were burning to the point it was fairly obvious against her green eyes and blonde hair. She lifted up her hands as it try and rub rub rub in a fast pace on her cheeks as if to try and smear it away like dirt, but it wasn't working and that was pretty much obvious.
Of course she realized the real reason he was staring at her. Not her body specifically (or maybe he was? who knew?) but her outfit or lack there of. So she hooked the end of her tablecloth dress around her fingers and nodded enthusiastically. Even before he had mentioned her room, she had already turned and was running across the Guild Hall with a flurry of her blonde hair. She disappeared for a few long minutes, before the girl bounded back down the steps and ran back towards Noah. She skidded to a stop before him, bent over and huffing and puffing before she caught her breath and stood up straight. Unusually she had let her long bouncing hair kept down when normally she would keep it in a ponytail, letting the long blonde curls weave and cascading around both shoulders. One green clip with 4 seeds still pulled a tiny portion of her hair away from her face.
Now nice and toasty warm, the girl couldn't help but be reminded of Chris's warm embrace moments ago as he hugged her, it felt so much similar to her normal fur lined jacket that she glanced over to spot him sitting by the Manticore as it was pawing the ground. The beast would be fine, surely? And Chris should be more then capable to over power him if he flipped for whatever reason. With that knowledge, her gaze turned to Noah as she fully drunk in his own warmer clothes and her eyes squeezed up even more. "It's weird seeing you in normal clothes now...." Poking at his chest for a moment before she laughed and entwined her fingers into his own as she had done many times before.
With that the girl was already half jogging, yanking him along behind her like a hyperactive kid that couldn't sit still. And almost the second they had left the Guild Hall, Kelica kicked up the snow with her feet and let go of his hand to twirl a little and make funny pictures in the snow as she kept a general forward pace. She wasn't sure where she was headed, just that she was heading somewhere with a man she was convinced she would never see again. She stopped her weird twirling to face him but continued to walk backwards, moon-walking so to speak. "I didn't expect to see you today... or any day really! I was convinced you were a illusion or something... You appeared in front of that train to save me, then carried me all the way to the base... you took me to the trees to save me, and then stopped that fire ball that Lucian shot towards me... and then, when I woke up from having been passed out, you were just gone! Voiped! Disappeared! And now... on Christmas Eve... you came back?"
Here she stopped her odd walk and stood before him, in the middle of his path causing him to stop his walk as well. Her face growing slightly enigmatic, which was a sight to see on a girl who only ever was happy or sad. "....just why did you come back, anyway?" She whispered softly.
