Summary
Natsu, Gray, Silver and Lyon go out for a pleasant family dinner in Margaret Town. Gray and Lyon tell Silver about and their training. Silver is somewhat secretive about his devil slayer training. Gray is happy and Natsu becomes enthralled having never seen Gray truly happy before. He decides to not wait until he returns from his training trip to claim Gray as his dragon mate.

Silver is very accepting of their relationship and he and Lyon leave them to find an inn for the night, although he mentions that he would like to talk to Natsu the following day. It is obvious that Silver and Lyon have developed a close friendship in the time that Silver has stayed with him. Gray and Natsu mate ending with Natsu biting Gray. Their soul crystal glows and affects Gray allowing him to return the mark as part of the ritual. They fall asleep content with their new relationship and looking forward to the future.
