Ten minutes later, Nuo came down the stairs, holding two suitcases and an instrument on her back. Lucy later found out it was a Cello. Mao came down after her, with two other Cellos on his back and another suitcase in his hand.
Immediately, Gray held out a hand from some bags, which Nuo relinquished gratefully. Gazille took the one Mao was holding, though the charcoal-haired man gave him a cold stare, telling him, once again without words, to not break anything.
Lucy paused, then asked, "Who's the third one for?" meaning the celli.
Nuo paused, then said, "A friend we are holding it for." Her tone made it clear that was that, and Mao's look quelled any of Lucy's questions.
They left for Fairy Tail an hour later, and neither sibling looked back.
