He raised his hand suddenly, 
as though to silence someone. 

      ❝ Calm, E.N.D
                 you cannot go out yet,
        How long did Natsu say he’d be gone? ❞

    Leaning back he then explained.

       ❝ Go only when that time has come,
          even though it would be better to
          return when the slayer has fully succumbed
          to the demon powers.
          Natsu was one to

                                         keep
          his word, so you must stick to that. ❞
