Holding Somewhat Still
Bastion had caught what Kelica had said about not being helpful and she frowned at the blonde, "Have more faith in yourself, you think anyone else could handle a manticore and a wolf so easily? Besides healers are rare and hard to find you know?" She sighed a little, of course she understood how Kelica felt, both of them were only C rank mages...one just not strong the other incapable of controlling her magic, so she had immediately felt a sort of connection with Kelica anyway, just over that, though she was always worried she would hurt those in the guild for her lack of control. She simply smiled a bit when the girl started to lean against Bastion to rest, muttering something about not putting the meat near her, not that she really minded the smells of the stuff just made her a little sick but once she got used to it she was fine. "Don't sorry it's not that big a deal I just get a little sick....besides I'm more worried about the puppy anyway."
She smiled gently when Kelica mentioned how crazy it was that she had brought the wolf in today of all days, responding with, "Maybe it was just fated to happen today. I have to believe in fate to some degree or else how could you explain my ending up here?" With the girl nodding off on her shoulder Bastion did her level best to stay still, it wasn't something she was used to doing so very carefully she lifted the bottle and then the cub from the woman's lap and cradled it a little. Just as gently she used her other hand to pull Kelica's head in her own lap, despite her height and build her thighs were surprisingly soft and acted as a decent pillow. Now that she was more comfortable she took over feeding the small animal, once the milk was gone Bastion sighed and laid the wolf on Kelica's stomach, "It's not so crazy when you think about it. Anyway rest well." Bastion placed one of her large hands on her head and lightly petted the girl's hair letting her sleep like that with the cub curled up on her stomach.

The Forest Mage's eyes drifted up to peer to Bastion's face gently and gave him a wiry smile. "Well the wolf is easy because I know he isn't going to kill me... the Manticore..." Glancing over sideways as the beast had finished it's meat and faced away from her to curl up again in the corner. "To be honest it lunged at me. I can't seem to talk in it's head like I normally can with animals, it's like it doesn't want anyone to help it at all.. I managed to push Noah and Timothy out of the way but..." Her eyes drifting lower sadly. "I only managed to calm him because of the bottle that Timothy gave me, some magical portion that subdued him... He would have killed me or worse still, them, without it...heh resident beast expert and couldn't contain an angry kitty... pretty great Forest Guardian right?" @Zareh Her voice trailing off again. As much as she tried to think of her powers as useful or handy, they still seemed very mehish to her, and not very useful. What if a huge army came through and attacked all of Fariytail? What if they had to do some huge line of defense? What would she do?... make a flower? The mental image was laughable and a hollow chuckle escaped her lips though she didn't bother to explain it to Bastion.
Of course when Bastion mentioned fate a bemused smile crossed over Kelica's face. Her eyes drifted away to peer to another portion of the hall and where Noah was standing with Chris, Lavender and now a Clair wandered over before Lavender disappeared into her normal kitchen. She thought about how he had simply appeared after all these months, the day before Christmas. Fate was a pretty weird thing wasn't it? @Embaga Elder @Isune @Britt-21 @Mr Swiftshots Kelica didn't protest as Bastion lifted the bottle and the pup from her grasp because another even bigger yawn escaped her lips, sliding downwards to have her head resting on the man's rather nice and soft thighs. She murmured a fraction as she turned her head more to face the back of the booth seat, and in no time she felt the warmth of the wolf puppy slip back onto her lap. Naturally Kelica's arms wrapped around the wolf cub and her fingers rubbed the back of his ear and down the back of his head as her eyes blinked slower and slower till they closed fully. Tucking her legs up and letting her knees fall to the side to rest against the side of the seat, keeping the pup warm and secure in her lap. That was when Bastion started to pat her own head and another loud yawn escaped.
It didn't take very long before the slow rise and fall of Kelica's chest indicated she was fast asleep. And the pup had the same soft, small breaths as she did.
