Heaving a sigh the slime mused softly. "Seems all the barking turned her deaf..." Turning her gaze sideways at Judith the slime bounced once into the air, taking her humanoid form as she continued. "What Judith so kindly illustrated to you just now is the fact that our guild master has no need to abandon her peaceful ways. Although she is capable of taking action when needed, the guild members are all more than capable of answering a threat to its people or the guild."
Seated on the throne Esperia's gaze turned toward the half-oni as she spoke. "It is for that reason a lot of the guild members tend to go from one job to another, often remaining in the heat of action and only return when they require rest or tending to their wounds."
Yet the earlier assumption of the half-oni's speculation that there was none of the guild's members around amused her. An assumption she intended to correct. "There is a member of Fairy Tail right in front of you. Although I usually only get called upon when shit hits the fan so to speak. The reason being that I am among one of the stronger mages of Fiore's population."
As if on cue her gaze sharpened a little as she hummed softly. "By the way~ You're still on top of the table~"
It was at that time the slime decided to use the power of her throne. Neither gesture or magic circle hinted at what was to come. Instead she had manipulated the density of one of her spells, a bullet-shaped projectile that had its velocity and pressure altered to ensure that rather than piercing, it would serve like a bludgeoning effect. Aimed straight at the half-oni's torso, said Finger Assassination Bullet spell would carry enough force to knock even a trained warrior off their feet, and due to the nature of the spell armor did little to hold back the power of the spell.
Whether it knocked the half-oni off the table or not didn't matter to her, as long as she realized that the mages of Fairy Tail should not be underestimated. Stifling a yawn with her hand Esperia turned her gaze from the half-oni toward Judith. "By the way Judith, we need to talk later~ I got some reports about some stuff that happened in Hargeon that demands your attention."
Indeed, it was clear that the slime girl was not taking the hot-blooded taunts from the half-oni serious in even the slightest. Perhaps because she already knew the difference in their strength? Unlike some, Esperia certainly didn't mind putting a hot-blooded newcomer in their place if they deserved it. And from the looks of it this one certainly deserved it at the very least.

Mostly for reference, this is the spell Espy used to try to knock you off the table:
Name: Finger Bullet Assassination
Rank: S
Mana Cost: 1000
Requirements: Osbornes, the Blue Slime Queen
Type: Offensive
Element: Water
Range: 25 Meters
Cooldown: 5 Posts
Duration: Instant
Effect: The user holds their arm out straight, makes a finger gun with their hand, and, through the liquid from their body, compresses a drop of water in their index finger, firing it with tremendous force and speed similar to a gunshot — enough to easily pierce through armor. The bullet is quite small and is a perfect sphere with a diameter of 2 centimeters. Finger Bullet Assassination does not create a magic circle since it is not an actual spell, moves at double the regular spell speed, and inflicts full damage to both the target and their equipment. Though, in return, Finger Bullet Assassination cannot be affected by magic enhancements and mana reduction. This cannot be nullified.
but she used her throne's effect to make it happen without any gestures:
Emperor's Command: As long as the user is seated on the throne, the user may activate their spells without any casting motions. At most, the user may cast 3 spells within the same turn without casting motions.
