"Thank you Erza, but I can handle this." Celeste said. "Now if anyone wishes to protest my actions, you are free to take a sabbatical from the Guild for however long you feel you need to deal with this fact. I will gladly welcome you back with no ill will." She said. "Now if you'll excuse me. I am returning to my office for work. If you want to take or complete a job, take it up with Mira, unless she leaves, then talk to Kinana. Get it, got it, good." She said before heading back to her office.

Erza
"......"
The redhead remained silent through Celeste's final speech, her gaze turning at the others assembled in the guild hall, to see their reaction to the guildmaster's words. To see who would leave, and who would stay.

There was murmuring among the group, with some leaving to "check on him." Lisanna, Gajeel, Wendy, and Gray among them.

"Well... at least this goes to show he still has friends looking out for him", the redhead said with relief, sitting at the counter close to Mira. "...Okay, now I definitely need that sundae we were talking about, please."

Mira nodded and set down the sundae for you.

"Thanks. Gods, I needed that", the redhead said in relief as she sat down to eat it.
'Your world is crumbling around you. Soon, your friends will leave you as your guild will come undone. It would hurt less were you to surrender your body and soul to me', the voice in her head said.
'Shut up. You don't know that', she retorted mentally. 'And even if that happened, I'd still not surrender myself to you that easily.'
She sighed, finishing her sundae before getting up. "Thanks Mira. Delicious, as always."
She then headed over to see how Celeste was doing.

She arrived to find Lucy rubbing her sister's back as the later screamed into a pillow.

Erza
The redhead froze in hesitation, staring at the scene.
"...U-Um... should I... return later?" she asked nervously.

The greenette lifted her face. "No... I'm fine... I'm fine." Celeste said hitting the button. "Mira... I need a bottle of the strongest stuff you got."
"Alright if you insist." Mira said.

"O... kay. So... I did as you requested. Needless to say, he... wasn't exactly happy about it, but he did decide to leave without a fuss in the end", Erza explained somewhat bitterly. "And... some of the others have left to see how he was doing. Lisanna, Gajeel, Gray and Wendy, among others. Just... so you know."

"I see. Well it can't be helped." She said taking a bottle of liquor from Mira, and chugging the whole thing down in a few gulps.

"...Yeah", the redhead admitted. "Careful, Celeste-sama. You're a lot lighter now, so you might get drunk more easily", she pointed out.
She then turned to Lucy. "...I told Natsu not to return to your apartment from now on... and I doubt he will after this, but just so you know, you're always welcome in mine, whether you wished to head back home right away or not."

"I can handle it." She said.
*Five minutes later*
"WOOOOOOOO I feel funny!" Celeste cheered red faced as hell kicking away her shoes and putting her feet up on the desk.

"...Sigh. Well, that was predictable", the redhead remarked. Luckily, she was quite aware of her own weakness to alcohol, and was sure enough not going to drink with a god-slaying entity sharing her body. "That's probably enough for now, Celeste-sama", she said, taking away the bottle to put it away in the nearest fridge.

The bottle was already empty by that point.
"Okay... I think I'm full anyway." She said. "Ummmm... How do you use the bathroom?" She asked.
