You watch as the train rolls in from the station. Lucy by your side.

Erza
The redhead stood still as she waited somewhat nervously for their guildmaster, biting her lower lip as she awaited the newly green-haired woman's arrival in her usual Heart Kreuz armor.

Soon enough she comes out in a shin-length strapless black dress with a tan band around the top and arms with 4" high heels.
"Hello... I have returned." She said stepping off the car... and promptly tripping.

"H-Heeh?!" the redhead let out, moving to catch her without hesitation. "...Why in the world are you wearing 4" high heels? Even for us, those are not easy to wear", she pointed out. 8 in Agility to react and move fast enough to catch her.
4 in Strength to do so fairly effortlessly.

"But they were so pretty." She whined before shaking her head. "What the hell am I saying? It's not like I had a choice, these are the only shoes in my size the Queen had for me to wear with this dress." She said.

Erza
The redhead raised an eyebrow at Travis' initial response, but she didn't say anything about it as she lowered her back on her feet.
"I can requip just about any other shoes right on your feet if you want", she pointed out. "But more importantly... what are the news? What's going on?" she asked, also unsure of what she was willing to discuss in front of Lucy.

"No. It's fine. I'm no one's charity case." She said. "Listen to me carefully. Both of you... From now on my name is Celeste Heartfilia, and Travis Howlet was merely a fake name, and illusion I used as part of my undercover work." She said. "Do you both understand?"
"H-hai Oni- I mean Oneesan." Lucy said.
Celeste glared at her. "Lucy... What are you hiding from me? Turn and face me." The greenette ordered.
Lucy remained silent.
"Don't make me force you to turn around." She said. "Let me see it." She said.
Lucy turned her head to face the greenette and take off her glasses even with the makeup the bruise was still visible.
Celeste shook in anger. "That... I... I'm gonna take these heels... And jam them RIGHT IN HIS F***ING EYEHOLES!!!" She roared. as tremors began shaking the town slightly.

Erza
"Understood", Erza stated without hesitation at Celeste's initial request. Then she listened to the exchange between the two, leading to the results she was expecting.
Still, she calmly nodded, her arms folded. "...While I wholeheartedly agree that Natsu deserves what's coming to him, and that said consequences should be fairly severe given what he did... if you actually did something as barbaric and insane as jam heels in his eyes, we would lose a second guildmaster in less than two weeks to legal troubles and imprisonment, and in case you're forgetting something, that would cause a LOT of problems for some of us", she pointed out, shaking her head. "So please take a few deep breaths and think this through before you do something we will all regret. Let us deal with this situation calmly and objectively, yes?" she insisted. 7 in Social Skills to try and calm Celeste down before she ends up in jail for the next two decades, possibly causing the end of the world due to my inner companion down the line.

Celeste calmed down as the tremors subsided. "Inform that... pathetic excuse for a man, he is no longer welcome or allowed in my Guild EVER again." She said. "Now if you'll both excuse me. I have work to do."

"As... as you wish", the redhead said, somewhat bitterly. She was well aware that given the situation and Natsu's actions, while harsh, Celeste's punishment was relatively reasonable as opposed to her previously stated one, and as such, she had no real, solid grounds to argue with the guildmaster on it. Yet still, Natsu had been her friend, and Lucy's, for years, so expulsing him from the guild would leave a horrible taste in her mouth. Worse still, she would have to be the one to do it. If Celeste herself did it, things would go ugly lightning fast, an opportunity Celeste might not be able to resist taking. And as if that wasn't enough, given their recent interractions... it was even possible that things would go ugly even if Erza herself was the one to do it.
Sighing, she just nodded. "Very well. Let's... talk later when you have a chance. I still have other things to discuss with you", she stated, as she headed back with her and Lucy.

They arrived back to the guild with no problems it was full and lively, luckily it didn't seem like he was there.
Everyone looked in confusion at the strange woman who entered the building.
"I'm gonna make the announcements. You go, and find him, and bring him the news." She ordered you.

"...Very well. If... you need some backup to convince them, as I said earlier, Mira knows about the change, so speak with her", she recommended. "I... will return once I've told Natsu the news."
She left the guld behind a bit grimly, heading over to Natsu's home for starters. She expected him to either be there, at Lucy's place, or on his way to either of those locations, or the guild itself. For his sake, she hoped she'd find him before Celeste would. 7 in Intelligence to look for Natsu.

You find him sitting alone in Lucy's apartment, taking a nap.

She moved to his side, frowning as she patted his shoulder.
"Wake up", she said simply at first. "...You often sleep without permission in the houses of girls you punched in the face?" she asked somewhat dryly, still quite a bit angry at him for that part, at least.

"Ah s***, she told on me." He groaned nursing a headache as he got back up with Happy.
