Kassadin was taking mental notes on what he was being told of the assassin’s past, finding them to be quite interesting and important enough if he were not to abandon such thoughts. They were precious memories, as far as he could tell, that he could use in order to allow him to feel special in their time together. Maybe, there was only a slim possibility of taking these and formulating it into a romantic scene.

His eyes scanned the area, forgetting about Talon until their hands parted from one another. The attention he had to the surroundings quickly turned to the assassin moving the crate out of the way. Though once motioned to follow him into the hole, his eyebrow raised in curiosity.

Even so, he didn’t crouch down to join the assassin into the hole. Instead he chose to open up a portal and take a walk in the rift to the other end, appearing behind his love with a slight smile.

“Hm.. Your life certainly took a drastic change..” He imagined it to be quite odd to have suddenly gone from a shabby looking place to the mansion that he now lived in. It was a wonder as to how he would keep this place in mind, was there something more important about his past that he could never let go?

Talon jumped slightly as Kassadin suddenly appeared next to him, not entirely expecting him to simply riftwalk down such a short distance. After regaining his composure and standing up straight, he looked over at the Void Walker and gave a simple hand motion that told him to follow after him. The sewers were large, and the pathways were rather confusing; the last thing Talon wanted was for Kassadin to get lost trying to follow after him. 

Within the large room were many different corridors, Talon immediately taking a turn to the right and stepping into a large, gaping pipe. It was rather disgusting inside the pipe, grime and muck stuck to the riveted metal surface, boots sloshing and tapping in an unappealing manner as he continued onwards down the dark place. Though it was only a short walk until they came upon the end of the pipe, a slight drop at the end that lead into another room of sorts; Talon didn’t hesitate to drop down and grab something off the top of a worn barrel next to the exit of the pipe. 

“This is it. Let me get some light going, hold on.” Talon spoke quickly, taking a match out of the small box he grabbed and walking over to a small table that sat beside an old bed. After striking the match and igniting a flame, he lowered it to light a small lantern that instantly filled the room with a soft light. “There. It’s not much of a sight, but this is it. This is the place that I lived for nearly 18 years of my life, and I still live here now; the fancy life simply isn’t… suited for me, I guess.” 

Indeed, the hideout wasn’t much, but it was enough for a street rat to call home. Crates and barrels lined the dirty stone walls of the room, storing various stolen goods that were organized neatly from container to container. Unneeded items were simply tossed over the large drop that took the place of the wall on the far right of the room; the same drop where many bodies were disposed of into the murky sewer waters that lay below. As Talon sat down on the worn bed, he glanced over to Kassadin, though his eyes couldn’t be seen due to the way the lantern cast an eerie shadow over his figure. 

“It’s an odd feeling… you’re the first person that I’ve had down here with me in nearly ten years. …Well, first person that’s not a corpse, that is.” 

To be honest, I don’t smile much for various reasons.

However, there are certain things, and four people that are capable of making me smile when I see them. Just four; I know it seems like a small number.

But honestly, smiling isn’t really something that assassins are known for. However it doesn’t mean I am unhappy. We are just trained to kill swiftly and accurately, a strong poker face is usually the preferred expression of us.

…It’s honestly frustrating. Perhaps if I got a break every now and then, I would be able to relax and perhaps visit the people that I care about more often. But now that Swain is in power, things have turned rather strict around Noxus. 

Now excuse me, I have more paperwork I need to tend to while this storm passes…

Uh. 

What do you expect me to do with this thing, exactly…?

Trust me on this. Apart from some terrible Summoners controlling your every action, Kassadin also seems to be very eager about this free week. Watch your back.

There was rare occurrences that Kassadin would allow his helmet to be taken off; it was indeed his life saving grace, one of only things that allowed him to be in the same world that he was trying to save. Other than that, he was quite used to the mask being his outer shell since he refused to include or show expressions of emotion in case the prophet were to use against him.

Once he caught himself smiling lightly at the assassin, the look on his face tried to refrain from showing hopes or note of happiness and back to the neutral expression that people may have thought he held. Emotions were his weakness, as many would have as well. Though it was a bit hard to keep it as the feeling of love was a bit stronger, it was something he was missing for so long. Perhaps it was mending his own broken heart.

The neutral expression appeared for as long as he could have faked it. His free hand took the helmet and placed it back onto his own. It would have been a pain to just be holding it the whole time, but he needed it to breathe once in a while. Though right before the lower part of his head was covered, there was a hint of a smile. Just being near him, there was something about it that made him feel warm and loving. He didn’t know how to explain it.

The hands that interlocked the two together would have been seen as just another step to any other. But to him, it was something much more. Although it may have been gloved, it was still as if he wasn’t. It was connection in a sense..

His head nodded to the assassin, taking it as a command. Not that it would have been a problem at all, he had to be quick around Valoran to stop the Void wherever it may be. The grip on the others hand tightened as he summoned open a portal, pulling the other with him, soon closing behind the two as they entered.

The other end of the portal appearing into an alley way near the market place. There wasn’t a chance that he would have interrupted the common life by suddenly having a portal in the way. Stepping out with the assassin hand in hand, he looked back at the disappearing portal before to the Noxian. What words could he have said, he felt as if he had nothing to say.

Talon was rather surprised as both he and Kassadin stepped out of the Void portal and into the small alleyway on the outskirts of the marketplace. Behind them were the loud sounds of the bustling city, merchants calling out to look at their wares and the general commotion of the Noxian cityfolk was all Talon could hear in the silence of the alley. With a small sigh breaking the silence by the assassin, he looked up to Kassadin and nodded at him in thanks. 

“This is the exact spot, actually. …This is the alleyway I used to run up and down as a child and young adult. I ran for my life with food in my arms as merchants and guards chased after me.” Talon spoke, looking down at the cracked ground that was littered with muck and grime; this alleyway obviously showed signs of wear, and the rats clearly had no problem with scurrying around past the two of them as they headed for one of the many garbage piles lining the side of the alleyway. “Of course, being that this isn’t the rich district of Noxus, it certainly doesn’t look that… pleasing. Anyway, come, my hideout is right this way.” 

Talon didn’t break the light grip he had on Kassadin’s hand, instead pulling him forward gently as he began to walk down the alley. His metal boots tapped against the loose stones as he neared a large crate that sat directly next to a pile of old boards and trashbags, letting go of Kassadin’s hand now only to pull the crate away and reveal a hidden hole in the side of the wall. Talon crouched down, climbing into the hole and gesturing for Kassadin to follow after him. 

“I hope you don’t mind getting a little messy, it’s not exactly the cleanest hideout in the world. …Though, I’m sure you were expecting that, being that sewers are never truly ‘clean’.” Talon smiled, stepping away from the hole and walking down the short dirt slope that lead to a much more open area so Kassadin could climb down as well. 

Ship Me With Someone, And I’ll Kiss Them

No matter who they are.

Perhaps my closet is a bad example, but this is only the first half of it. As you can see from this, I have many different outfits at my disposal - I merely wear purple most because it’s my favorite color. …That, and it sure beats wearing a dark green like Swain suggested to me once before. 

I actually really dislike the color green. 

What on Runeterra would give you the idea to stack 5 of these flimsy blades?


Allow me to give you a small tip now, Anon.

Run. 

Well you did say draw it quickly… but… uh…

Actually, I think we are all happy being around one another, I don’t think either of them hold any jealousy. You can ship me with whoever you’d like, but I like being with both of them at the same time.

Back when I was a child, I used to chop off the fingers and arms of merchants that were trying to grab me; granted it was self defense, I never really enjoyed it.  Chopping off body parts usually makes a large mess I learned, which is why I instead prefer taking tails and horns as my trophies these days. …Though, I think the monsters and champions I take them from will be coming after me trying to get them back sooner or later. Oh well.

Either way, stabbing is still my preferred method.

The Void Walker’s eyelids lowered slightly when he felt the assassin’s lips press against his own. There was a hint of desire to press on forward with this kiss but in his mind he found it to be a bad idea. His lips returned the kiss but pulled away shortly after. A fear that he may give too much that the other would feel overwhelmed but also a fear of giving too little for them to feel like he isn’t wanted.

He smiled lightly at the hooded Noxian, watching for a moment in an adoring gaze. His arms left to rest at his side. To have watched the assassin in this state and to just be near him, there was a feeling of happiness that he haven’t had for a while.

”..Although you say it isn’t interesting.. It is to me because it is what shaped you into who you are now.” His smile seemed to have faltered slightly, “Did you not say that you would rather keep your past in the form of your blades? Or was I misunderstanding in your choice in keeping the blades.”

His hand just wished to interlock with the assassin’s. To signify the coming together of the two but still, there was a feeling of awkwardness in him for some strange reason. It was feeling that he couldn’t shake, perhaps it was just because he had lost so many that he cared for dearly that he didn’t want to suffer the feeling of loss and loneliness again.

..Just maybe..

The kiss was short and quick, a small smile gracing Talon’s lips as soon as it was over. Just a small kiss was enough to make him feel warm and relaxed, exhaling a tiny sigh of content as he released the grip he had on Kassadin and stepped back. Talon extended his hand and handed the Void Walker his helmet, averting eye contact as he was reminded of some bits of his past from Kassadin’s words; his dark eyes merely scanned over the discarded blades on the floor, hands gripping his purple hood and pulling it up so it obscured his eyes once again.

“…Yes, that’s correct. Back there is where I gained my first set of blades, and also where I kept all of my weapons for a good period of time. My more notable memories are linked to the blades I received there…” Talon said, shaking his head but looking back up to Kassadin. “Perhaps it would indeed be best to show it to you now. Would it be possible for you to transport us to the marketplace? The entryway to my hideout is near there.” 

Talon didn’t want to seem like he was demanding with his words, so his eyes lowered once again. Still, his gloved hand reached forward to grab Kassadin’s and hold it tightly. He stood close to him, ready for him to teleport them away from here if he wished to leave now. 

“Whenever you are ready to go, of course.”

Er… my name is Talon, I’m a Noxian assassin serving under General Du Couteau. You look to be quite young, and those are certainly some odd… wings… you have. What is it you need from me, little one?

Need from you? *she shook her head, letting the man go* No no, I don’t need anything from you. And I certainly don’t know this Du Couteau person neither. *fluttering a little bit off the ground to meet him at eye level* It’s a pleasure to meet you Talon, I was just wondering if you’d like to be friends with me. *flapping her wings twice she answered* Oh and these are my wings, my sissy says I’m a special kind of vampy.

Talon thought for a moment while staring at Flandre, finding the girl to be rather interesting. Never before had he seen wings like hers, and she certainly did seem innocent enough; friendship wouldn’t be so bad, at least for a little while. After all, what harm could a little girl like herself cause?

“I suppose I could be your friend. I see no harm in it.” The assassin forced a smile and patted her lightly on the head. “So you’re a vampire? …Interesting. Guess that would explain the wings, and your fangs.”

(So guys…)
