ERZA'S POV

We all got back to our ship and decide to bunk in for night. Wendy used a bit of Troia to put Natsu at ease.
I fell asleep immediately. I was only woken up a bit later by the wooden floor creaking. I checked to see who was not in their beds, for me to see Gray was gone.

I walked out of the cabin and out on the deck to see if he was still within eye sight. He just got off the ship and was now at the shore.

What are you up to?

I followed Gray around for a couple of minutes, I was a bit confused as too why he circled back to an area where he had already been.

He then reached a tree overlooking a cliff. Gray walked over by the cliff side and sat down.

"You can come out now" Gray said in my head

I walked over to him

"You knew I was following you?" I asked

"I had a feeling" Gray said

"Why are you here?" I asked

"I don't know. There's just something about this place that calms me down" Gray said

He was right, the view overlooking the cliff was breathtaking. The sea was very still and had a reflection of the moon and the stars. The cool gentle breeze from the sea was blowing against us. As the wind blew the leaves of the tree behind us were falling. The only sound that I could hear was the wind whispering in my ear.

"Don't just stand there. Sit" Gray said

I sat down next to Gray
Both of our feet dangling, swinging, and swaying by the cliff side

I looked at Gray and giggled

"What?" He asked

I pointed above his head
As he tried looking up there was a Curily on his head
The Curily went down from his head and landed between us

"Hey there little guy. I haven't seen you in a while" Gray said as he patted the head of the Curily

"Hmm? Wait a sec" Gray muttered

He reached for his pockets and got a nut from his pocket

"Here" He said handing over a nut

"You understood him?" I asked

"To an extent" He said
