Even in the mind of the Eye of Twilight, he meditates in deep thought, formulating his next course of action. The image is simple, it's Shen floating in endless space with his eyes closed and arms crossed. Whenever a decision needed more thought, he would retreat to this place to find resolution, but now he wasn't alone apparently.
A small body clamps down on his bicep, staring directly at him with big cerulean eyes. Shen finally opens his eyes when he felt a finger poking his cheek.
"What?" Shen aks, looking at the meager apparition.
"When will Ruri see Ahri-sama?" Ruri asks, puffing his cheeks.
"Never, I thought you knew that."
"I forgot."
Shen goes back to drifting, but Ruri kept letting out exaggerated sighs on purpose to his attention. Shen didn't take the bait as he was a pro in blocking out any distractions. Ruri gets bored and begins to float around Shen, doing spins and cartwheels to pass the time, then suddenly loses control and flies straight into Shen's face.
Shen slowly opens his eyes, expecting to see his ceiling, instead he finds Ahri with rope in her hands.
"Oh, good morning." Ahri nonchalantly words out.
"…"
Shen in a hoodie with a mask to hide his lower face, disappears into a purple mist and reappears at the foot of the bed.
"Am I that bad, Shen?"
"Don't you have suitors that can fulfill your needs?"
"Nope."
"I honestly didn't expect that answer, but if you would please." said Shen as he opens the front door for her to leave.
"Though my Ruri is gone, he did leave me wanting something."
"A child?" Shen answers, slouching a bit.
"As expected of the Eye of Twilight. Yes, a child, by having a child with a human, my goal to be more... human can be satisfied as well as the emptiness in my heart filled." Ahri explains, tilting her head.
"You can't expect a child to be born that is just like Ruri by copulating with me."
"I understand fully that the child won't be the same, but that's because Ruri is technically you. What I want is a child who shares my bloodline and I know that if my partner is you, then I will conceive a child just as cute and gifted as Ruri." Ahri continues.
"Don't you have anyone else in mind that would suffice?"
"Nope."
Shen looks at Ahri's sparkling eyes and cat-grin expression then looks out his door. Without a second thought, he walks out and closes the door behind him.
"It's fine, I'll be right here when you get back!" Ahri yells.
After an hour or so, the door opens and Ahri quickly darts her eyes towards the entrance. Sadly, it was only Akali in her pajamas.
"Don't tell me you were trying to sneak into Shen's bed." Ahri asks, resting her chin on her hands.
"No, I already tried that... multiple times. Anyway, I'm here to tell you to cool your head."
"What? And let you take advantage?"
"Not quite. If you knew Shen, then you should be aware of how absorbed he gets in his work."
"I'm aware, but I think if you push hard enough he will eventually budge."
"Maybe, but highly unlikely. As long as there is conflict between the Kinkou and the Order of Shadows, Shen won't pay mind to anything else, but the League. Not to mention he's trying to make up for lost time."
"Hmmm, I'll think of a way around that." Ahri says, getting off the bed.
"I'm not sure..."
"Thanks for the info."
With that, Ahri walks out and heads home, leaving Akali dumbfounded by her commitment.
Shen continues his walk around Ionia to get some fresh air. As he stops at a pond, he suddenly notices Ahri jumping through the trees high above him.
"She gave up sooner than expected."
Walking back, Shen suddenly gets snagged in a trap meant for Yordles. Clamping down on his leg, he attempts to open the metal jaws, but stops when he hears the cocking of a rifle.
"Never thought you were a lawbreaker, Mr. Ninja." The Sheriff of Piltover says, walking into the moonlight.
"Caitlyn? What is the meaning of this?" Shen asks, narrowing his eyes.
"Didn't I clarify? Catching lawbreakers."
"What law am I breaking, Sheriff of Piltover?"
"Breaking curfew." Caitlyn says as if it was obvious.
"…"
Shen finds himself in an interrogation room alone with Caitlyn. What puzzled him the most was the sterile cup she set in front of him after her long lecture about Piltover's Justice system and a few mentions of Garrus.
"I assure you, Caitlyn, I don't have any narcotics or alcohol in my system." said Shen, looking at the cup.
"That's good to hear. I will give you some privacy, also some magazines." Caitlyn says and puts a box of adult magazines on the table.
"I'm confused. Are you instructing me to give you a..."
"Yes, a semen sample. You have thirty minutes." Caitlyn says and heads out the door, leaving Shen speechless.
After hearing the door lock, Shen really felt in a bind. Nothing else to do, but meditate.
'How is boss doing?" Garrus asks, floating in front of him.
"She's... doing well... I suppose."
