As the sunlight poured through the overhead window in the bedroom it shone bright against Sona's face. Talon's eyes opened slowly and when he finally gained enough awareness to tell what he was looking at he became filled with emotion. He stared at the woman next to him, thinking simply about how beautiful she looked bathing in the light from the sun. He slowly climbed out of her bed pulling the sheets back over her softly and kissing her on the cheek. He exited the room and entered the den and looked around. The room that he'd once only meant to invade for it's owner's valuables, was turning more and more into home everyday. He walked into the bathroom and turned the shower on. He climbed in and stood, letting the water run through his hair and down his body.

He recounted last nights events and couldn't help but smile. As the words went through his head he knew what he had heard was true, and that this woman was the one thing in the world that he knew above all else was true. Just as he finished remembering the door opened and Sona stepped into the shower next to him, smiling softly at him.

"Good morning." the voice in his head was cheerful and sweet.

"Good morning to you as well." Talon spoke the words wrapping his arms around her and kissing her softly.

As they stood there in the shower looking at one another both couldn't help but smile, but neither could find words to say, and they didn't have to. Words weren't necessary for them to explain how the felt, and a simple look into the others eyes would reveal the truth. As they looked into each others eyes they kissed again. Sona took a step forward nestling her body against Talon's and holding him softly.

After an hour the two emerged from the bathroom, clean and ready for the day. When they opened the door and stepped into the den however, there was someone else with them.

Katarina sat upright on the couch looking at the two as they walked out of the bathroom. The only expression she held was a childish smirk on her face, and a condescending look in her eyes. She did not say all the childish things running through her head, but simply nodded and left the room.

"What do you suppose that was all about?" Sona sounded concerned now

"It's nothing, she's been watching us like that for weeks now, I'm not quite sure why, but I promise everything will be alright." Talon's voice reassured her and she smiled at him.

As the morning drifted on Sona and Talon lay side by side in her bedroom, not wanting to leave one another for a moment, but this was the League and everyday held new possibilities. As the minutes passed by they counted the time they had left together, at least for the morning.

Talon had an assignment to run outside the city but would be back later that day. Sona had no plans but decided that she'd likely spend the day in the courtyard entertaining the other champions with her music.

As Talon got up to leave he looked back and kissed Sona softly.

"I love you" her voice rang through his head with a sweet and gentle tone.

"I love you too" he said allowed trying to match the sentiment of her voice.

Talon boarded the train silently, knowing that he had to focus on his assignment. Since he had come to the League he had an agenda of his own, and that was to try and track down General Du Couteau. He boarded the train this morning to meet with an informant, an old friend in Noxus who may know the whereabouts of the General, or at least, another missing link to the chain. As Talon stood on the train he ran the thoughts through his mind. How would he tell the General that he'd fallen in love with an Ionian woman?

Sona sat silently in the middle of the courtyard, her Etwahl by her side, and just as she was about to begin playing the strings Katarina appeared in front of her. In a hushed voice Katarina said.

"Do you think that we could speak in private? Don't worry, I mean you no harm."

Sona stood up and followed her to her room where she sat down on the couch. After a few minutes of awkward silence Katarina broke the ice.

"So Talon? What is it about him that captures your interest"

As she spoke the words Sona was unsure of what exactly it was about the man that had caught her eye. Perhaps it was his lack of emotions, or his sorted past. The man that she'd come to love was one of the most mysterious of the League, with only 3 people within it's walls outside the High Council knowing his past.

"It's not one thing about him that captures my eye. It is everything about him. His protective nature, his silent regard. Most would interpret his actions as being disrespectful, the way he never speaks when spoken too, but it's only because he doesn't know the correct way to say the things he wants to. He's a wonderful man, maybe a little confused about his past, but aren't we all?" these words rang in Katarina's head and she tilted her head slightly, wondering what all of that meant.

"More to the point, I want you to know that he is still loyal to my father. I don't want to sound mean, because I like to see him happy, and you have brought him that, but when my father is found, things could get tough for a while. I want you to know that I'm ready to stand against my father on the subject if it comes down to it. He loves you, and no loyalty in this world should ever step between that. I believe he realizes this already, but what he doesn't realize; is that his loyalty to you far outweighs his loyalty to my father."

"Then why are you hear to warn me? If you already know he will choose me, over the other?" Sona's tone becamse concerned again, and her face turned slightly pale at the thought of losing the man she loved.

"I wanted you to know that you two aren't alone in this. Me and Cass both can see that you're happy, and more so that you two deserve the happiness that you have found, no matter the cost. My father may be a powerful man, but he cannot separate the hearts of two individuals. I came to tell you simply, that you should not worry when the time comes, keep the smile on your face. Talon will do the right thing when the time arises. I know that he will."

Katarina slowly stood up and walked Sona to the door, just before she opened it she wrapped her arms around the Maven and added one last comment.

"He's like a brother to me, y'know? I'm really glad that he found you, and that things are going so well. He's never had anyone to call his own, and now he does, and I can't think of anyone else that suits the part as well as you do. I wish you both the best."

Sona walked out of the room silently with a renewed sense of faith in the situation before them. It seemed as though she was winning the hearts of all the right people, and the future looked pretty bright through her eyes. She went down the hall and up the steps, then to her quarters. She entered her bedroom and laid down on the bed, resting her head against the pillow and fell asleep; smiling because she knew everything was going to be alright.
