@ofsavior said: There's something horribly regrettable about the situation as Gray drags his feet across the guildhall. He harbors no bad blood against Rufus, but there's something very permanent about the idea: a memory mage never forgets. That thought alone has the ice mage's features burning (a very rare sight). Yet, he's no coward. Gray has every intention of seeing this through, which is why he forcefully grasps Rufus' by the coat lapels and pays no mind to the shameful wrinkles now plaguing said coat. No, Gray's mind is narrowed to one thought — get this done and over with in swift gesture. A swift kiss, rushed messily but surprisingly precise, pressed to his counterpart's lips. And just like that, Gray sees himself out.
"Do us both a favor and try to forget about that one." He calls, back now turned to Rufus.
“ Gray. The winds are most - No , are you alright ? “ Rufus’s usual eloquence gets cut in favor of looking at the other mage with concern. He’s bright red for one , and he can hear how different the heart rate and breathing pattern are compared to normal. The moment new information arrives he cannot help but to memorize it. And yet there’s also that stubborn fighting spirit he couldn’t help but to admire in battle both as opponent and someone who has fought beside him. How strange.
“ Ah ? “ He does nothing to hide the surprise when he finds himself being grabbed by the Ice Make mage. After all , he has no memory of something that would provoke a reaction like this. Especially when he’d just been on the way to his usual spot for some reading.
And yet the surprises tumble after each other like a pebble starting an avalanche. First Gray’s appearance at this time , then his appearance , being grasped , and now kissed ? It’s as far as the thought goes as reality sinks in. Concise yet messy and all entirely rushed in a way that is both drawn out and over in a split second. Contradictions that threaten a headache if his shock wasn’t so great.
In a second Rufus was as red as his coat and beloved hat , lost for words on how to react and scramble to make some sense. He’s not frozen but he certainly feels stuck as his brain struggles to grasp the scenario. “ My Forget does not work like that. “ He manages to respond more from it being a familiar phrase than conscious thought. Still , he opts to let that moment rest rather than interrogate or chase after Gray. So he tugs his hat down slightly as he pivots on his heels to continue to the library whilst smooth out his coat.
That was definitely a new memory. No one had ever attempted such a thing before. How does one forget that even if they didn’t have Rufus’s memory skills ? It’s not like Gray would be able to if someone did that to him. Probably. No , no. Enough of that he had books to memorize. That’d help.

instrumental inspired starters - @blaschoice (Gajeel) Instrumental Piece 42. LISTEN
“ Though I sought , it seems our favorite Ice-Make mage is nowhere to be seen in these celebrations. But fortunate winds seemed that it was fit to have brought a dragon to my path. “
Rufus’s eloquent voice carried easily through the celebratory feast despite the fact he did not raise his voice against the volume. Whether it was through magic or simple efficiency of volume that he could be heard , only the Red Minstrel himself knew. But why be quiet on a day of celebration when the latest foes had been defeated and the guilds having drawn closer together yet again.
Despite his rather composed and elegant appearance , knowing smile ever in place , Rufus was glad to see so many people celebrating together. But that didn’t mean he wasn’t curious or that his thirst for knowledge had decreased any. Instead he eyes the dragon slayer curiously.
“ Your magic would be quite difficult to replicate in many ways from what limited chance I’ve had to see it. “ He remarks casually. “ Though Dragon Slayer magic is notoriously difficult and quite different from other forms to replicate or combine. “

@ofsavior said: Gray asks, "Oi Rufus! Are you tryin' to become an ice mage or something?"
(SEND YOUR MUSES REACTION TO SEEING MINE IN THE COLD WITHOUT A COAT)
It was a rare sight to see the Memory-Make mage not smiling. But he definitely wasn’t smiling now. In fact , he looked quite miserable. He clutched at himself , shivering violently against the winter wind , head tilted upwards as if puzzled over the fact that he was also there.
At the voice , he spun around , immediately lighting up at seeing a familiar face. He quickly made his way over to Gray’s side , shivering the whole while and quickly shook his head. “ No. Although I would like to get better at ice magic , I hardly think this would be a good means to achieve that. Nor my primary magic. “ He managed to speak more-or-less steadily despite how much he seemed to tremble.
“ I was practicing a new kind of magic. But it seems something interfered and instead of being elsewhere , I ended up......here. Woefully ill-prepared as you can see. “ He grimaced. “ Rest assured I would not willingly end up out in the freezing cold without a jacket unless it was an emergency. “

@safaerax said: "Joyeux anniversaire Monsieur!" Freya exclaims, holding a bouquet every flower she could afford to get from the flower shop just a little bit down the street. She had only just met him, but she still wanted to celebrate in the best ways she could. ' I know its not much, but I hope you like them. I'm not entirely sure what a mage likes, but I look forward to another year of learning exactly that! Would you like some tea?' // We're here to wish Rufus a happy birthday !
it’s rufus’s birthday!
“ Merci madame ! “ So many vibrant and colorful flowers being offered up for him to celebrate. It was like fireworks frozen in the moment of their explosion , a rather fitting gift when his favorite spell was A Night of Falling Stars. Even if she didn’t now that. “ Nonsense , it is plenty ! “ He takes the offered flowers , admiring the different colors and species in one beautifully chaotic bouquet. “ I like flowers as much as anyone. There’s beauty in their simplicity , nature’s show of love for the earth. “ He smiles , eyeing the bouquet for a moment before picking out a daisy to tuck into her hair with a simple smile before admiring the flowers once again. “ I look forward to it as well. I’d love some tea. “

@ofsavior said: ❰❰ ARM ❱❱ sender puts their arm around receiver (Gray to Rufus)
( EXTREMELY INDULGENT MEME ) ❰❰ ARM ❱❱ sender puts their arm around receiver
Amusement paints his features as Rufus feels Gray’s arm around his shoulder. “ Are you voluntelling me to this job ? “ Well , it wasn’t like Rufus minded in the slightest. But it was rather amusing to be dragged into this little competition that seemed to be brewing. Not a sight that was abnormal in the Sabertooth hall. Even with the change in leadership , competitions were still encouraged as long as they were with restraint and in good nature. Otherwise it was a duel more than a competition.
“ Very well. “ It made sense that’d he’d be selected out of anyone given Rufus’s ties with Gray. A cunning grin appeared on his face - certainly an expression that’d make one glad Rufus was on THEIR side and not the opponent. Especially when he remembered everything. He turned towards Gray. “ Shall we start then ? “
#ofsavior#i have no idea whats happening#but it feels sabertooth like to compete#either for a hard job or amount of them#little good nature competition#let them pair up#rufus just got dragged into it but he's fine with this#〉oh how my memory sings to me〈 — ⚜ ⌜rufus⌟

@sanctidente said: proceeds to be annoying in rufus's general direction
“ You’re doing this on purpose , aren’t you ? “ Rufus crossed one leg over the other as he stared at Sting , suddenly giving a lot of direct attention to Sting. “ You could just ask f or attention you know. “ He has to tease , the opportunity is there.
#sanctidente#ghdfjg watch out sting#he's not even mad but he will mess with him#like say pull a move from portal#so the ground opens up under sting and the opposite portal appears on the wall fhdgfd#he wouldn't...probably#but he thinks it would be amusing to see#〉oh how my memory sings to me〈 — ⚜ ⌜rufus⌟

@daimondea said: "oh, rufus. happy birthday." a smile crosses the lady of saber's red lips, as she offered up a wrapped package. within he would find an old book of poetry from bellum, picked up on one of her trips there. "i saw this at an old bookstore and thought of you." // from daimondea~
it’s rufus’s birthday!
With theatrical grace , Rufus swept his hat off to place it over his chest as he gave a slight bow of his head accompanied by a cheerful smile. “ Thank you , I appreciate it. “ Another year come and gone as time continued to move forwards.
He placed his hat back on his head before accepting the wrapped gift with curious delight. He began to unwrap the present ( though not without , of course , memorizing how nice the present had looked before ) and smiled at the book in his hands. “ You know my tastes too well as the moon and waves know each other. “ Poetry had always been a favorite of Rufus’s , often evident in the man’s elaborate manner of speech. “ No doubt I shall enjoy this to its fullest both in its words and it’s matter of being a gift. “

@ofsavior said: In Sting's hands was a worn book, pages stained the color of parchment and the corners no longer as sharp as they once were. He'd been requested for a job, and this was one of the treasures he'd found along the way. "Oi, Rufus! I have somethin' for ya today." He boasted, grinning widely as he often did. Nimbly presenting the book forward, he offered it with enthusiasm. "Happy Birthday! I stumbled across this and thought it'd be better suited t' you."
it’s rufus’s birthday!
“ Sting ? “ Hearing his name called immediately earned the attention of the Memory-Make mage as he stopped in his path to turn towards his guildmate with peaked curiosity. Something for him ? It seemed like his birthday hadn’t gone unnoticed if tht was the case. Though simply seeing his guildmate so happy was a delight in its own.
Green eyes lit up a the sight of the unfamiliar book. “ I have no memory of this book. “ Despite his composed stature , there was a note of glee at the fact he didn’t even know this book’s title. It made it all the more rare in Rufus’s eyes. “ Thank you , Sting. “ He took the book , running his fingers over the cover of it. His previous plan could be abandoned in favor of diving into this book and whatever plot or information it might hold. “ I am truly delighted by this and shall greatly enjoy it. “

@ofsavior said: Gray has a cup of beer he’s sliding to Rufus. “I hear it was your birthday, so here’s somethin’ to celebrate.” Cue his usual grin.
it’s rufus’s birthday!
Rufus accepts the beer given his way with a small smile. “ The songbirds are singing it seems. “ Rufus gives a small laugh , raising the cup in gesture of thanks before he takes a sip of it. His birthday wasn’t something he made a big deal about but it was warming still to know that it was known. The gift was icing on the cake so to speak. “ Thank you , Gray. I appreciate it. “ The statement was further supported by the small but genuine smile on his face.

@daimondea said: a gloved hand touches rufus' shoulder, as the lady of sabertooth attempts to move him to the side. "excuse me, but i need one of those books. father is requesting it."
( DESCRIBE HOW YOUR MUSE TOUCHES MINE )
It is rare to catch Rufus so absorbed in something he is not aware of his surroundings , but it is not entirely impossible. This was one such instance , too absorbed in the literary art to note that Minerva was there till he felt the hand to his shoulder. Green eyes lift to look at her inquisitively until answer is offered up to him.
“ My apologies. “ A hand raises to his hat to tip it downwards with a slight bow of his head. “ Such was I involved in my readings I was unaware. I just reorganized this section so it should be in it’s alphabetical place. “ Rufus offers - keeping the library organized wasn’t one of his tasks but given how frequent he was there , it had long ceased to be surprising to see him doing suck tasks. And noting which books were removed.
