Chapter 4 – The Reunion

Even with the crowd cheering and vying for his attention, Sorin could not take his eyes off Sona. He did not say a word back to her. He knew that he was on display as Ionia's newest Champion. However, Sorin was still wondering if Sona was who the High Summoner's had hinted to.

For the next hour congratulations and greetings were exchanged with many members of every city state. Sorin found it very interesting to be shaking hands with Jericho Swain, one of the many Generals in the Noxian Army, a very tall and old looking man and, the next to be bending down to be given a hug by trio of Yordles, Poppy, Tristana, and Teemo. Yes, the League was a different place then anywhere he had ever been but he knew he could get used to all the new social groups in the institute.

After another hour, the crowd had cleared, only a hand full of Ionians and Summoners were left but, Sorin was still distracted by the floating Maven and her enchanting presence. Luckily Lee Sin felt that Sorin was feeling a bit overwhelmed by something, but not sure as to what is was. Only he could notice the small difference in his former student when his mind was not as focused as it should have been.

"Sorin", Lee Sin said talking the attention of the Sorin and the group, "I am sure that you must be hungry after your long travels. Let's go get something to eat and then you can get settled in." The small group took the hint and started to disperse about their business for the day.

Lee Sin motioned Sorin to follow and he started to walk towards his soon to be "Tour Guide". With a bow he greeted Sona, "Yes Sona, it has been far too long." If Lee Sin still had eyebrows he would have lifted them in confusion at the first statement, he had to use his typical lean back stance and wait to be told what just happened.

As Sorin came up from his bow Sona jumped at him and gave him a long hug. It was all Sorin could do to hold back tears. But, it was easier when he realized that he was being embraced by a very beautiful woman. Her hair was soft, it tickled his nose. She smelled like lilies just like she did when they had last been together and, her body was that of perfection.

"I always knew she would get prettier" Sorin thought to himself. Then Sona looked up with a slight blush, her arms around him. Sorin with his own blush said out loud "You heard that didn't you?" Sona gave a small nod of affirmation and her blush grew. Sorin also tried to not let his eye wonder to her chest which was visible when she lifted her head to look at him; only deepening his own red face.

"Well, just so you know, you are still handsome even when you blush." Sona gave with a small wink as she pulled away from Sorin.

Lee Sin at this point was getting a little annoyed because he only heard half of the conversation. Still for the first time in Sorin's life he was grateful that is old Master was blind. If Lee Sin knew about him blushing it would give the older Ionian way more then he needed to bust his balls later.

"Sorry Lee Sin" Sorin said trying to hide his emotions, "I forgot that you can't hear thoughts." Lee Sin gave a wave of his hand and motioned for both of them to follow him.

They made their way to what was a large dinning hall. It had tables of different shapes and heights. There was multiple large tables for Domacia, Noxus, Piltover, and Ionia, smaller tables for Bandle City and its Yordles, and a good number of other tables for independent Champions or other groups of mixed city-states to use.

They made their way through the line, got their food, and found a table. There was no on sitting in the Ionian area yet but there were a hand full of Champions already about the dinning hall already eating. Lee Sin asked, "Well don't keep a blind man waiting. Sona, would you be as so kind to find us a spot to sit?"

She touched Lee Sin's Shoulder in agreement and started to move towards table at the back of the room. There was already one individual sitting at the table and with her blue skin and glowing eyes it could only be but one person "Soraka, the Star Child"

Soraka had been talking with Sona since they had entered the dining hall. She felt a wave of excitement permeated the hall when Sona had entered and was asking to as why. Being another support champion they found a good bit of trust in one another when it came to their own lives and a bit of gossip.

All three now gathered around the table and Lee Sin not knowing that Sona had already done so introduced Sorin to Soraka. "Star Child, This is one of my old students, Sorin, he has recently joined the League." Causing a very proud smile to great the Bling Monks face.

"Thank you Lee Sin." Soraka responded in almost a whisper. "Welcome to the family Sorin." with a small bow of her head.

Yes, Sorin knew of who Soraka was but never had he been privilege to meet the high priestess in person, and he could already feel her trying to read his mind. But, Sorin thought to Soraka "If you want to know something you can just ask" Soraka was taken aback. She did not know that Sorin was so attuned with Magic unlike Lee Sin. "Besides it would not be fair to my old Master if he were left out on the conversation." Sorin gave a mischievous smile.

Soraka imprest but soon address Sorin "So Sorin, Sona tells me she knew you from her childhood, you must be very special if she remembered you after all this time." Soraka gave a smile with a light hearted hum. "Sona has not stopped talking about you since you three came into the dinning hall." Now looking at Sona.

Once again Sona turn a slight pink under her cheeks. Looks like Soraka, this once celestial being, was just like his old Master, wise and quick witted too.

"Soraka!" Lee Sin said with a grin, trying to hold back a laugh "You must really learn to control yourself." Sona started to calm down a little but, "You know that Sorin will do more that enough stumbling around her with out your help." Now both Sorin and Sona were a little red in the face as the Star Child and the Blind Monk shared in a good chuckle with each other.

After removing a small tear from her eye at the joke she and Lee Sin shared, Soraka looked at Sorin "So Sorin, why do you have gloves on while you eat or at all?" Soraka was a sharp one. Sorin assumed she was as old if not much older that his prior Master, "I thought warriors from your order did not use weapons in their combat."

"Well I can give you the short version." Sorin addressing Star Child directly now, "Or, I can give you the long version at another time."

"The short version will do for now." Soraka answered.

"Well you see the man over there with the big hammer." Sorin, pointing at a tall man with jet black hair sitting next to a shorter woman with hot pink hair and two giant gauntlets on her back, "I have him to thank for making my life just a little bit more bearable."
