The city of Magnolia truly was a beautiful place. Sea side and with plentiful blessings that Sol had allotted to it natural beauty, Seika could truly appreciate the amount of time, effort and work that it had taken to build the city itself into one of the major commerce areas in Fiore. It was beautiful enough that Seika had even considered bringing Hitomi one day, the demure Joyan woman definitely would've enjoyed this more than their excursion to Oak but that was outside of Seika's hands if he were completely honest. Still he would have to make it up to the woman after everything was said and done later, maybe some jewelry? He'd ask Khalfani later if the boy ever stopped for two seconds from scheming about this, that or the other.
Regardless, the large man had been dispatched to aid in assisting Eastern Fiore and bolstering their numbers. As a Captain-Commander he was tasked with overseeing the various companies beneath him and since he spent most of his time in the North with his own company and squads, a visit to the East to at least ensure that they weren't goofing off was in order. Thankfully for the men and women of the Eastern company had kept their routine up to snuff, or at least made the image of such for Seika's arrival. The large man was notoriously hard to please, or at least that's what they had heard from their northern brethren. The inspection had taken most of the morning, but unfortunately for them, Seika had deemed it necessary to stay within the area for the next few days to properly assess their readiness and ability to keep Magnolia as a whole under wraps. Of course that was the official reason. The unofficial reason was the reason he now stood before the illustrious and infamous guild house of Fiore's most prominent and rowdy legal guild, Fairy Tail.
A hefty scowl crossed the large Knight's face. The deep brown creases detailing his face in such a way that his displeasure was not only known, but could be used as a useful deterrent to keep stupid inquiries about things like his day from the mouths of others. The civilians kept well enough away from his presence, and most of the mages did the same. It wasn't as if he was trying to be overly antagonistic, but when he felt strongly about something, it tended to override even hardwired common sense.
Stepping into the building, he was immediately greeted with the sight of party streamers and guild members moving about to prepare for some sort of celebration. Clearly there was some sort of festival coming to the guild that they were preparing for. Among the various individuals gathered there, at least two stood out to Seika. One a relative newcomer to the scene of high ranking mages. The recently discovered Dimensional Dragon, Kaito Todaro. The name itself hadn't been making waves in terms of take downs or bounties captured, but the boys strength was something to be respected, considering he held the same rank as Seika at nearly half the age. The other needed almost no introduction however. The current reigning guild master and Celestial Wind Dragon himself, Kazimir Seiryu. Now if there was someone that Seika could hope to recruit to his side, it was that man. Of course that was probably after he had petitioned to have the man's guild demoted to Independent status, but that was with merit and any who knew of Seika's reasons agreed with it, they just also agreed that Seika took a far too harsh of a stance on the matter.
Scoffing at the thought, the large man would enter the guild hall properly, walking up to the two mages while ignoring the smaller lesser known individuals around him. Keeping his sight trained on the Celestial Wind and the Dimensional Dragon, the large knight would stop relatively near to them before finally speaking up, "Good day to you all." He would begin in Fiorian, reminding himself to stick to the language of the natives, "Just stopping by to pay a visit. I will be in town for the next few days as to observe and examine the Rune Knight garrison stationed here in Magnolia. Figured I'd announce my presence since you lot are the go to mages in this region." His statement could have been construed as backhanded, but he truly didn't care. For now he would play nice and observe, if there was something of worth from these people, he would act accordingly, but until then they were still pretty high on his shit list.
