[Mavis visibly tenses as Tatlyn mentions a dragon skeleton. It brings back memories, rather bad ones unfortunately.]
Did it attack you?
[When Tatlyn announces she destroyed it, Mavis' eyes widen in surprise.] You did? ...How did you do that?
[She doesn't mean to sound like she's underestimating Tatlyn but she's more of a healer than a fighter. And the monster she described doesn't sound like the kind who would go down easily.]
Don't worry about that. What matters is that you're back, safe and sound. Are you sure you destroyed it for good?
Deaf and blind? Then, how did it know you were there? [Did it smell her or something?
Mavis listens to Tatlyn's explanation. So this monster would be weak against magic? ...Or did it just teleport away? ...Or did Tatlyn's bolts happen to trigger something?]
Did you check the area before you left? ...Could it have transformed back into something else?
[Like it happened for Yuri and the Tenrou Jade.]
Do you remember how the monster appeared in the forest in the first place?
[A nod.] I'm going to inform the Deputy Guardians right away.
And I'm going to tell people to be careful and not to wander alone in the forest. But I don't want to create a panic either. So we'll have to be careful about the way we communicate.
You said it attacked you but it didn't wound you. Maybe it thought it was defending itself. [What if it was a citizen who'd been turned into a skull dragon by an evil mage?]
[[ooc: I'll make a post for Mavis later today. :)]]
But, yeah... It did get a good hit on me too, but...you know. Healer. I'm okay, I think. Though, maybe I should see Zeref or someone? It hit me with inky black magic-y stuff.
I need you to be ready to heal whoever will need it. So it's best if you don't get injured in the meantime.
Okay. I believe you. [She'll give you the benefit of the doubt.]
You healed yourself? Good. Are you fully healed? [She leans in to look for any sign of injury. Now, if Tatlyn healed herself, there might not be any residual trace of magic for Zeref to identify the nature of the magic. But it's still possibly worth a try.] You can ask Zeref if he sense any trace of Black Magic. But you know, all black looking magic is not necessarily "Black Magic" the way Zeref and I know it.
[Few people know it but, before she founded Fairy Tail, Mavis used to call herself "Black Wizard Mavis", and she does know some Black Magic. Mostly what's related to Ankhseram's curse. But Zeref is still more knowledgeable than her when it comes to that topic.]

Calm down, Tatlyn. And tell me exactly what you saw.
Action
Date: 2018-05-05 11:03 am (UTC)A monster! Like a dragon skeleton. It was oozing in inky black gunk. It was running amuck in the forest.
I think I destroyed it though...somehow.
sorry for running off without telling you or the others...

Date: 2018-05-05 11:22 am (UTC)[Indeed, she's not a strong fighter. She's vulnerable while shooting magic bolts.]
I think so... Once it dissolved, there was absolutely no trace of it. No sounds, gunk, bones, dust... not even the smell. It was just...gone.

Action
Date: 2018-05-05 12:25 pm (UTC)I checked, though briefly. If it was there, I would be able to see, hear or smell it. And it's gone...
I was in the Haven when it appeared. I could hear all the havoc it was causing. I don't know how it got there or where it came from.
Action
Date: 2018-05-05 02:05 pm (UTC)If you hear it or smell it again, let me know. This time, we'll go investigate together.
Action
Date: 2018-05-05 02:10 pm (UTC)If we encounter one that can see or hear, I wouldn't be able to fight it alone.
[Tatlyn glances at the building.]
I should probably get back to the infirmary before the next brawl happens. As Guardian, are you gonna tighten security?

Date: 2018-05-05 03:36 pm (UTC)And I didn't do anything to provoke it. It attacked me.
[Considering the insult she lobbed at it, one may beg to differ.]
But, yeah... It did get a good hit on me too, but...you know. Healer. I'm okay, I think. Though, maybe I should see Zeref or someone? It hit me with inky black magic-y stuff.
