A/N: Sorry if I don't give enough details here and there. Describing stuff isn't my strong point. Anyways let me know how I can improve, I don't usually write. And thanks for all the people along for the ride. :)

Chapter 3: Seeing Blue and Red

Sona sat, next to Mordekaiser on the long table in the dining room. She noted how the Master of Metal ate without removing his helmet. Just the fact that he actually eats was surprise enough but she couldn't help but wonder what was beneath the metal shell of his armor. Was he an undead warrior resurrected by necromancy? Or perhaps a demon summoned by dark arts? Maybe he was even just a mortal man just like any other. Either way, she thought, it wouldn't drastically change the friendship between the two, or ,at least, she hoped it wouldn't.

"Something wrong, Maven?" Mordekaiser asked, noticing that the blue haired woman beside him was staring.

'Oh, no not at all, Lord Mordekaiser.' Sona said, turning back to her plate of food 'I was just thinking.'

Silence took place around them before Mordekaiser broke it once more, "What were you thinking of?" He asked.

'Well, I was wondering what you looked like under your helmet.' She absent-mindedly moved her fork around the food before continuing, 'We've known each other for quiet awhile, yet, I've never seen you without your helmet.'

"..." Mordekaiser paused for a moment, thinking of the best way to go about the matter at hand, "Not many people have. Only the highest of authority in the Shadow Isles have seen my true appearance."

'I see.' Sona nodded, 'Why do you not let others see your face?'

Mordekaiser was about to answer but their little talk was interrupted by Calor.

"Excuse me, Lady Sona, Master Mordekaiser. I have finished placing your things in your respective rooms. That is all." And with that, the aged butler left the dining room, leaving the two alone once more.

'Oh! That reminds me,' The Maven exclaimed (Telepathically of course.) 'I have plans for us to tour the city today. I hope you don't mind a little walking.'

"I don't. Where are we headed to?"

Sona smiled, 'I don't have a specific place. I thought we could just enjoy everything the Snowdown season in Demacia has to offer.'

"Very well, Maven. I will trust in your judgement today."

'Let me change into something more suitable first.' Sona sped off, momentarily leaving Mordekaiser to his own devices.

After a few minutes, Sona returned dresses in a red and gold outfit that covered her all the way down to her feet. She wore a sleeveless red dress On her head was a matching hat of the same color. Around her shoulders was a small cloak clasped together by a golden bowtie. (A/N: yes it's that skin.)

"Are you ready to go?" Mordekaiser asked.

'I am. But will you not change out of that armor? The weather is much more colder then when we arrived." She asked.

"Do not worry about me. It will keep me warm enough." The Master of Metal replied.

'Are you sure?'

"Yes, Maven" Mordekaiser gave her an annoyed sigh, "You do not need to coddle me like an old woman."

The two exited the manor and began a long walk around the capital city. Sona was just a few paces from Mordekaiser, showing him the many sights and places that the city has to offer.

At the moment, they walked along a snowy street, looking at the many displays and items that the shops had to offer. "Why are there so many items on display? I doubt they have this much out the entire year."

'It is a Snowdown tradition. Friends and family give gifts to one another in the spirit of the holidays. This is the time when shops usually make the most profit.'

"Hmm. Apologies, Maven, I have little knowledge of Snowdown."

Sona shook her head, 'It is fine, Lord Mordekasier. The most important part of Snowdown is to cherish your loved ones and spend time with them.' As they were nearing a shop, the door flew open revealing someone Sona thought she would have never seen here in the capital.

"Oh, hey, Sona." Katarina said, her eyes opening in surprise as she saw the Maven's armor clad companion. "And Mordekaiser?" The Sinister Blade looked had bags in her hand and was dressed rather casually, no weapons were visible on her person.

The warlord nodded with indifference "Greetings, Katarina."

Sona was about to speak before the shop door opened once more, further increasing her surprise.

Garen Crownguard turned around, looking like a deer in headlights. "Lady Sona, Ah hello...And umm Lord Mordekaiser?"

The Master of Metal nodded in greeting "The Might of Demacia."

Sona was stunned but recovered quickly. The Maven reached into their minds and spoke to them telepathically, 'What is Katarina doing here? And why are you here with her Garen?' She furrowed her brows in confusion, expecting an answer from either one of them.

"Well.. you see." Garen mumbled, looking down at her feet, "Shes staying with me and Lux for Snowdown."

'And how many others are staying at their place? Lux told me there were more than one. I know Quinn is one of them.'

"Well, there is three more. But the visit isn't for political purposes. Just a little get together of friends" Garen answered.

Katarina nodded in agreement before asking a few of her own questions. "So that's our story. What is he doing with you? I knew you two were friends but I didn't think you two were..."

'No!' Sona flushed red as she shook her head "We aren't. Mordekaiser is just staying with me for the week.'

"We were what?" Mordekaiser asked, completely oblivious.

The redhead smirked "So let me get this straight. Two 'Just friends.' Are keeping each other company for the holiday? Alone."

The Maven glared 'We aren't anything more. Just good friends.'

Katarina chuckled "We'll see by the end of the week."

Garen was next to speak "Where were you two going, by the way?"

Mordekaiser answered, " The Maven suggested we head out to eat after viewing the many store displays here."

"Why don't you join us for dinner tonight?" The Might of Demacia offered "Jarvan and Shyv are also coming down."

'What do you think, Lord Mordekaiser? Do you want to go?'

"That is for you to decide. But as for me, I do not mind either way."

Sona nodded as she turned to speak to Garen and Katarina. 'We accept you invitation.'

Katarina smirked as she took Garen's hand and lead him back to his family's estate. "Good, c'mon Crownguard. You two coming or what."

Sona sighed, knowing more teasing would befall her once they were there.

A/N: So that's Chapter 3. Fun fact: I write all my stories on my phone. Sorry if this is a little short. Got a few things here and there I have to do.
