Ahri was the last one to wake up as usual. She really liked to sleep a lot, even though she never dreamed. She took her time to stretch out and yawn a lot before she went outside ; the champions worked hard the last few days to make a confortable place to sleep in the cave where Ahri was found, craving a nice entry in the rock, big enough fort them to get in or out without problems and to let the sun enlighten the whole place in the middle of the day.

She met Ashe next to the fire. She was making a bow for herself, with some wood that she found next to the river. She really liked to hunt with her own weapons, and usually she was hunting at least one a week with her husband Tryndamere. They used to bet on who would catch the most animals, or who would catch a specific amount the faster, and these moments were very funny for both of them as it was a common passion. Ashe was starting to miss the rushes of adrenaline, the crazy concentration required to be the best, and having no room for error since the animals were freaking out very easily. She loved competition, and more than anything she loved winning.

Ahri knew it, and she immediately thought about someone else who loved competition, at least as much as Ashe : Sejuani. And she also had noticed that they were trying to become friends despite their rivalry in the « real world », so she wanted to help them with it.

She waited until the rider came back, and submitted her the idea she had.

« Sej, good to see you ! she started. I wanted to tell you something.

- Good to see you too Ahri. Of course, go ahead.

- So, I know that you like hunting and stuff, and I know you and Ashe don't hate each other anymore, she said with a cute little laugh. So I thought that maybe you could go with her kill some animals when she finishes her bow. I'm sure it would be a great thing for both of you ! You must be a tough competition so she will be so glad ! »

Sej knew it was an amazing chance for her. Hunt, share amazing moments with Ashe, good laughs, and also show her that she was really good too ! Show her that… She was as good as Tryndamere when it was coming to using a weapon or make her give her best. So she accepted without a single hesitation.

« You really have good ideas Ahri, thanks. I will ask her right now. »

She was getting used to talk to Ashe. Since the first conversation, they had several others, very short but very intense for Sejuani. And now, even if her heart was beating as fast as the first time, she was able to control her voice and her thoughts.

She told her what Ahri said, and Ashe was really happy that she finally had someone to hunt with. The fox was right, and Sejuani wanted to thank her again, with all her heart but she would not understand why. So the rider and the archer decided that they would go every morning, before the others even woke up, to bring food for the day and to commune with nature.

Sona was almost never moving from the camp. She was like a solid stone on which everyone could rely whenever they needed it. And she enjoyed watching everyone, their reactions, the smiles or tears they were hiding from others, the looks they were giving to the one they loved, and all the details no one else could see. Shen's love for example was not a secret for her, and she thought it was the cutest thing she had ever seen. The ninja seemed so strong, emotionless, putting his work and duty above all. But in fact, he was the most shy person out of all the champions here.

But she also noticed the way Akali's cheeks were becoming red every time she was finishing talking with him, the loving smile she had when the ninja was doing something for her, or simply showing that he was thinking about her. The looked like two teenagers who can't seem to understand each other's signals. Sona believed that they needed to be together, they deserved to be happy and to be loved. That's why she wanted Akali to understand how big her feelings were, but also how big Shen's feelings were. And as she knew, love doesn't need words… she only needed to give her friend the proof of what was deep inside Akali's own heart.

She waited for them to end the conversation they were having, and came to the girl. She had that smile saying « I know everythiiiiiiiing » and her look was switching from Shen to Akali all the time. She couldn't talk, so she tried to use her body language to express her thoughts. Akali understood immediately what the Maven wanted to point out.

« Hey, that's not true ! You are completely crazy my poor Sona. Shen? and me? Where did you get this idea? » she said, her cheeks getting as red as the blood under her skin.

'you really thought it would be that easy?' Sona thought, but her expression was so clear that Akali had no trouble understanding what she meant.

« I'm telling you, you have it all wrong ! »

Sona knew that the ninjas were people of their word, so she wanted to use this against her for once. She held out her hand. 'swear'

After several seconds of intense thinking and inside battle, Akali gave up and said :

« No, I can't swear… You know I can't swear something I'm not sure of... You got me there. You are such an awful person ! » she continued with an amused voice. « And the worst part of it is, that I am not even mad about you. I can't believe you are able to use such a treacherous manipulation ! But well, I guess you are right… Maybe I do like him a little bit more than I should… »

Sone felt her friend was finally starting to accept these feelings, and she hope she would pay more attention to Shen's behavior towards her, his shining love for her.

So they kept on talking a little more, and finally the evening came.
