Gravity:
A mutual physical force of nature that causes two bodies to attract each other. A force whose full origin and purpose are unknown.

Somehow, she has put aside her fear. She has avoided him thus far, but somehow, fate brings them together. It does not help that her closest friends are from the same faction as he. Slowly, they become a part of each other's lives. They frequently run into each other at the library, if not the Fields. She peers at the cover of a book he is reading. He takes notice, and turns to her. Series of questions pour from her mouth and he has an answer to all of them. Ezreal is happy that someone cares about the world in some extent, even if this girl is not an explorer herself.

She is taking a mental note of what he says. He knows so much about Valoran and Runeterra as a whole, whilst she's only fluent in Demacian and Noxian matters. He tells her of his adventures in the Kumungu Jungle, the Shurima Desert and Kalamanda. He has been everywhere and he knows so much. Past the southern barrier, where she does not dare go.

Conversation seems to flow easily with him. With Ezreal, Lux feels as if she is a walking contradiction. She feels safe, yet hesitant. Mature and immature. She feels free, but trapped all at once. He brings her laughter–real laughter that she thought had been buried deep within her bones.

She begins to appreciate their little meetings. She begins to appreciate his stories. She begins to appreciate him.


He thinks the same. He thinks she is a magnificent person. He wants to reach her too. He thinks she is a light that cannot be extinguished. A guiding light that is much more than meets the eye.

The wonder and intrigue he feels when he discovers a new artifact is intact whenever she is around. She is more than she lets on, and he knows this. Yet she will not let him in. He tries to study her, but he cannot.

He enjoys telling her of his adventures, of his passions, of his past. She takes it all in, laughing from time to time. Speaking of experiences from her own when she can relate. But he teaches her, and she loves all of it. Perhaps because she wants to be brave as he.

He knows she is trapped. He wants to free her, release her from her cage. She deserves more credit than she will give herself. He cares for her, that is true.

But he has already given himself to the world. He cannot give any more of himself. He will not. He does not feel for her, as she does for him.

Sad how he has pulled her within his orbit, and she feels so lost.
