Frankly, after that suffocating adventure on Tenrou Island, one would be inclined to think that the Fire Dragon Slayer of Fairy Tail would be content to slither back to Magnolia and hide in the comfort of his own home for the coming weeks as opposed to throwing himself at the very next adventure that was to come his way. That was not Houren's way though, and as the group recuperated for a bit in Hargeon after landing there and saying goodbye to Captain Seagull, the Fire Dragon Slayer headed off towards another exciting adventure before making his way back to Magnolia.
It was unfortunate to say but he didn't have much time to explore when they first came here from Magnolia. After all, they spent most of their time looking for Captain Seagull and when they had finally found him, it was already time to head towards Tenrou. They didn't even so much as have a nice and simple meal in one of Hargeon's many fine establishments before heading off, and to the Fire Dragon Slayer of Fairy Tail, that was truly a waste, much too great a waste to be taken lightly. That's why, now that their little adventure in Tenrou Island had concluded, the Fire Dragon Slayer made sure that sufficient time was allocated for them to actually be able to enjoy Hargeon in its glory instead of skipping it by.
After all, who knew when was the next time they'd be here?
Maybe it'd be soon, maybe it'd be later but they almost certainly would not be together and frankly, that was just the way the Fire Dragon Slayer of Fairy Tail liked it. Whether they wanted to recuperate before making the long journey back to Magnolia, or eat, or see the sights like Houren, he didn't really care. He had heard stories of the ghost ships that could sometimes be seen from the lighthouse and that was his main interest today. It was a slight shame that it was not yet dark out, but the Fairy Tail mage decided not to let that bother him. True, his chances of actually seeing something spooky would be much lower, but he was just as interested in learning about the lore of the people as he was interested in actually seeing something supernatural.
The Fairy Tail mage looked out to port, noticed that activity there wasn't really all that busy right now, so thinking that perhaps he would be able to get inside the lighthouse, he knocked on it. Rather than waiting for someone to open the door, and mostly because the door had opened by itself after the Fire Dragon Slayer's first knock, Houren peered inside and had a look around. The interior of it reminded him of a comic strip that he used to read about a boy who lived in a lighthouse with his alien friends, but of course, the lighthouse in the strip was a lot more cozy and inviting; this place was anything but that.
