Own nothing of League of Legends except for my OC. So, let's go!
Chapter 14: Fat hands, weightless sand, and a sandwich.
Taliyah was sitting on the couch of the office while Lux was speaking with Cid. She had thought on making her presence known, but in the end, she chose to simply sit and relax. No need to find troubles. Still as she was bored looking at Lux pointing something in a drawing to Cid she couldn't avoid speaking something she had noticed.
"Your hair is rather long for a guy, is that why it always looks messy?"
Lux had stopped speaking and looked at Cid with detail. True, the man was frail, not really looking like an ex-soldier, he wasn't thin, but he didn't have the muscle either, he also walked with a prothesis on his left leg. But she had never took notice that his hair was sort of long.
"Hey, it's true… I didn't really put much attention before, but Taliyah is right… why not cut it?"
At their words Cid just shrugged his shoulders.
"Honestly it never bothered me, plus finding someone to cut it in Demacia was hard, I wasn't well received in lots of places remember?"
Lux nodded before a grin started to form in her face. She was picturing many ideas on her head, yes she was going to have fun playing with the hair of her dear friend. Cid wouldn't see it coming. Her grin grew as she pictured the possibilities.
"Mmm is quite long… maybe we could"
While Lux was in thought, Taliyah spoke to her.
"He already run away, are we sure he doesn't read minds?"
Taliyah pointed to the opened door and the seeming road Cid had took in his escapade.
"No, he is simply too perceptive… I should have been more careful… want to look for him?"
Lux made the offer to Taliyah, they hadn't really chat like friends, but surely if Cid spoke well of Taliyah they could surely be friends. Taliyah shrugged her shoulders before standing from the couch.
"Sure, I'm supposed to be with him so let's find him… weird stuff seems to follow him whenever he goes"
Taliyah was relaxed, after the words of Cid the last day she felt more relaxed at the idea that he considered her responsible enough to be on her own, and as a responsible girl she would do what she wanted to do. Which was nothing so she would simply follow Lux and see where things went.
Meanwhile Cid had decided to rush away from Lux when she started to mention his hair. True, he had let it get too long, which he didn't mind as he never cared too much of his appearance. But Taliyah was right, it reached his shoulders and maybe that was only because it was messy and it tangled in itself. But until he found a solution to that he would simply avoid Lux… maybe Taliyah too, surely, they would work together.
As he walked he was thinking where to go. He needed a safe place to avoid Lux… The library!
His thoughts were broken by the crash with someone who felt like a wall of bricks. The result was the weaker of the forces ended up in the floor, in this case. Cid.
"Oh, sorry there… aren't you the new guy? Jinx is always mentioning a therapist nowadays, and seeing as I don't remember your face you must be new"
Cid looked upwards and met the visage of a girl with huge mechanical gauntlets that were helping him stand, the girl had cool looking pink hair. She looked imposing and in a way a figure of respect.
"Oh no, it was my mistake, I was thinking of something else, and yeah. Cid, therapist for the institute at your service."
She smiled before pointing at herself.
"Vi, Piltover Enforcer"
Now, that was a name that really sounded familiar. News of Runaterra often spoke of the Enforcer and her tendencies to solve crimes with brute force. Which had diminished the crime rate, and raised the costs of repairs. The world has its way of balancing things he guessed.
"Well it is a pleasure to meet you, I'm looking for the library"
Vi smiled before pointing to the end of the corridor.
"Reach for the end, and turn to the left, you won't miss it"
Before Cid could say his thanks, he heard a shouting from the other end of the corridor.
"Hey! Careful Fat Hands, we don't need you crushing the therapist!"
Jinx was waving at them while screaming, Cid took notice how the gauntlets of Vi had started to clench and gather pressure. He decided the best thing to do was take a step back.
"I'm getting you this time! I told you to stop calling me Fat Hands!"
Jinx simply took her tongue out to mock her before getting a running start. The next thing Cid saw was Vi propelling herself in a straight line with her gauntlets. Surely, he couldn't imagine being in front of those gauntlets.
As he made his way through the corridor he took on the many faces of champions around. He didn't know many of them, but he could recognize Lulu who was seemingly speaking with another yordle who was wearing blue and a hat that covered his face. If anything, it seemed Lulu spoke and the other one tried to look for a chance to escape.
He also saw Garen talking with Jarvan. Behind Jarvan it seemed that Fiora was looking for something to distract herself with, Quinn was also walking around, though if she took notice of him was something he couldn't tell.
In the end he found the entrance to the Library, Vi was right, there was no way to miss the huge door with the words "Library" on the top.
As Cid observed the walls full of books and the open windows letting the light entering and fill the place with warmth. He felt the relaxing atmosphere of the library and just let himself sigh in relaxation as he walked in it. He saw the library was rather empty, he could see that differently from the corridors in which you could see summoners and champions, here it seemed to be empty.
As Cid looked around he found the imposing figure of Nasus.
"Hey there, how is it going Nasus?"
Nasus nodded at his direction, lowering the book he had taken out of the shelves.
"Greetings, Cid, I see you decided to accept my invitation for a chat"
Cid nodded and Nasus pointed him to follow. As both walked Cid took on his surroundings, the library still seemed to be empty, but he could see a few in the far distance of the library, he could see a young man with blonde hair seemingly reading a thick book. On the other side, he saw a woman with long reddish hair who seemed to look at a map.
Nasus motioned for some seemingly soft chairs. While Cid sat he noticed how Nasus was standing, he took notice of how the chair wasn't of Nasus size.
"Will you stay standing?"
Nasus hummed in acknowledgment.
"My order for bigger chairs is on place, so is a waiting game for now… still, we didn't come to chat about chairs, did we?"
Cid shrugged.
"I came to relax if that's what you ask, though you did offer to chat today"
Nasus nodded.
"Indeed…I was hoping to hear your thoughts on everyone around us"
Nasus motioned to the doors of the library and Cid knew what he meant.
"Everyone is pretty on the sides of the spectrum, either they are relaxed or too stressed, and even then, some are not totally balanced, but pretty much everyone is like that in this world. So, I would dare say, they manage to stay fine, though it wouldn't hurt them to let some stress out"
Nasus nodded at the judgment of Cid.
He found himself smiling a bit. The man was a therapist indeed. He had been able to assess the situation on the institute by simple observation of his surrounding, and this made him smile inside, because maybe, just maybe, he was the therapist he needed for a particular case.
"I see… I agree with your assessment of the situation on the institute, be careful though, some don't like to be told their… situations"
His brother rage was a perfect reminder for Nasus. But maybe, just maybe, the therapist was the first step to get his brother back.
"No worries, if there is one thing I'm the best at, is avoiding others… since we are here, do you mind telling me a bit of the books around here?"
Nasus nodded before seeming smiling more.
"Ah of course, you will see my title as the Curator of the Sands is no mere show"
As Nasus signaled Cid for him to follow, a pair of champions were looking around for the therapist.
"I'm telling you, he can read our minds, how come he is never where we go?"
Lux sighed before answering at the naivety of Taliyah about her friend abilities.
"Cid is just a therapist, he is not listening to our thoughts as we walk"
Truth be told they had been going around many hallways and even the dining hall expecting him to go for food. No such luck, Lulu said she had not seen him as she had been talking with Veigar, Malphite mentioned not seeing anyone fitting the description. Jinx said she knew where he was, but before they could inquire she started running away from a rather angry Vi.
It seemed no one had seen him, and those who had seen him just couldn't speak about it.
Simply put, luck wasn't on their side.
"I'm telling you, something is not right if we can't find him, I mean we have gone everywhere… the dining hall, his office, the training areas, the garden of Zyra… the lobby, mmm somewhere else?"
Lux was about to mention how tired she was when she felt a light going on in her head after hearing Taliyah.
"The library!"
She took Taliyah hand and rushed to the library. Surely Cid would be there. When they reached the library two things happened.
Taliyah took notice of the weird scenario. One was that a small girl with colorful hair who looked rather angry at Lux. She also noticed how immediately Lux looked tired. Taliyah may not know the girl but she was sure of two things. She was a champion, and judging by her face she didn't like Lux.
"Sorry, but you can't go in right now. Ezreal is reading, and I don't think he needs your presence there"
Lux sighed before speaking in a tired tone of voice, Taliyah recognized the tone, it was the same tone of voice Yasuo had when he had to explain his background again to anyone. So, she knew what was going on. And she had an idea that was hoping it worked.
"We are looking for our friend, frail guy, pretty much a mind reader…I'm sure he is listening to Ezreal thoughts right now"
Zoe. Aspect of Twilight. Was many things, powerful, fast, and with a wit that rivaled many.
But she was still just a love-sick child when Ezreal entered the formula. And while she knew little to nothing about the girl who was speaking to her. She clearly understood two things.
One, this girl wasn't Lux. Two, there was a mind reader, hearing every thought of Ezreal… that meant she could take the information from this person and find all about what Ezreal was thinking, she might even find a way to catch the attention of her interest without making a fool of herself like last time…
"Hey, I'm Zoe! You're Ezreal! I know that! I mean- uh, I found it out! I mean... ugh... kill me now."
She didn't need a repetition of that one…
Zoe gave the girl her best smile before opening the door to the library.
"Sure! Come in, we can find your friend in just a hop!"
Without a warning Taliyah was being taken away by the little girl, Lux simply made a sign of approval to Taliyah. If one looked with attention to the eyes of Lux one could clearly read her thoughts.
"Great job!"
If you asked Cid, there was a fun way the chain of social understanding worked. Kids didn't get teenagers, and teenagers didn't get adults, but teenagers could get kids, and kids totally got adults. So, in his opinion, it wasn't surprising to see Taliyah being carried away by a small girl who seemed to be hopping through portals on the library.
Cid looked at Nasus as if asking for guidance about the situation. Nasus expression simply could end up resuming itself in one simple thing.
"Don't ask"
Cid nodded in understanding and Nasus motioned for the door, signaling that their peaceful time on the library was coming to a close. Both walked away from the area of the portals. Neither noticed how Taliyah was trying to get away from the girl who simply moved her around the portals. In the end, Nasus bid farewell to his recently acquired friend.
Cid felt good after his chat with Nasus, they mainly spoke about the books that the library had to offer, and mainly it had ended up being a demonstration of Nasus knowledge of the library. He would spend time ordering the books through their genres and in an alphabetical order. The ascended warrior was truly dedicated.
He walked outside of the library and ended up finding a grinning Lux waving at him.
"Well hello! Look what a bright visage has appeared"
Cid felt a shiver down his spine looking at the smile Lux had on her face. He knew what she was going to say. Only a miracle would save him, but that was much to ask so he decided the best to do would be to offer something else.
"Hey… Lux how would you feel about getting something to eat?"
Cid observed her body language. And he could see he had hit the nail. She was actually considering eating something, she must have been going around looking for him. He took the chance.
"Come on let's go to the dining hall, surely we can get something to eat"
Lux smiled at the idea and hooked her arm with his.
"Sure, let us go, we got an appointment once we get lunch"
Cid let out a sigh of frustration. His hair was going to pass through the hands of a girl, and he wasn't that eager to Lux probable ideas.
The road to the dining hall of the league felt fast, and Cid couldn't avoid but feeling that the halls were in itself a sort of maze, it seemed lots of halls interconnected and let reaching certain areas faster.
When they reached the doors, they heard Taliyah. She looked as she was trying to get her breath back.
"That girl is crazy…. She never stops hopping around those portals!"
Cid chuckled remembering the scene he saw in the library. Lux simply patted Taliyah in the back.
"She is like that… just don't get on her bad side and you should be well"
Cid took notice of a small tiredness on Lux tone. It seemed she knew the girl.
Lux, Taliyah, and Cid were not ready for what happened in just a second.
Before he could ask if she knew the girl he found himself being taken away in the slender arms of someone who was laughing maniacally. Cid noticed Jinx smiling as behind her Vi was closing the distance, the Enforcer was close to catching the Loose Cannon.
"Look at you! You just can't resist spending time with me, can you?"
Jinx laughed as she carried Cid away. Though the carrying didn't last long as she kissed his cheek before grinning.
"Sorry! But Fat Hands will get us if we go like this, so wish me luck!"
Cid felt the sensation of being thrown in the air as a simple sack. As he expected the floor he felt the sensation of being carried again. But this time by a woman with purple hair and wings. Her eyes glowed in an eerily purple. She was wearing a long dress yet the top looked like the uniform of someone who works with pastries. Plus, the hat was a giveaway.
She smiled at Cid revealing her white teeth. Cid had to control himself to avoid squirming in her arms and to avoid gulping. A part of him was surprised at the fact she was smiling so nicely as if it was a contrast to her looks.
She spoke with her voice clearly showing she had something planned.
"Yes, you will do"
No one dared to help Cid, while he didn't know who was holding him, the rest knew. And everyone knew better.
Morgana had been trying to find someone who could taste her cooking, many decided to not risk tasting her dishes, sure, she had been bad at the beginning but she had gotten better. The thing was that no one wanted to try and taste her dishes, she needed someone who could taste her work and vouch for her.
That was harder to do than expected due to the fact that no one was willing to risk it. But now the Loose Cannon had just dropped what she needed. And right in her arms, she had given her someone who could taste her dishes. She would later give something to the Loose Cannon as thanks for her kindness.
Cooking was truly important for her.
As she walked through the halls carrying Cid, he was only thinking as to why he hadn't spoken a word to her. If anything, she only looked at him occasionally and smiled at him before continuing her walk.
After a series of hallways and entering a deeper part of the institute. Morgana let Cid off her arms that were on gloves.
"Well, presentations are a must. Morgana, the Fallen Angel"
She made a small bow at him. Cid made a bow too and presented himself.
"Cid, no last name, just Cid, therapist for the institute"
She smiled before motioning for him to follow her. She opened a door and they entered the quarters of Morgana, Cid was amazed at the stuff lying around neatly in the walls. Cauldrons, magical objects, Morgana seemed to have an assort of stuff in her room ranging from the dark to the unholy, but something took an even greater part of her quarters.
Cooking utensils.
Morgana seemed to be well into cooking for what Cid noticed in her clothes, and now seeing her room. The quarters of people usually represent them. Morgana was clearly someone who appreciated order in chaos, she seemed to not be the sort to be all holy like demacians, plus the most obvious thing. She loved to cook.
"Well, give me a second, there's something I would like for you to try first"
Morgana smiled again and Cid could feel that while she smiled to him, she was the sort who carried other injuries in her. Those who have lost others before, tend to appreciate more the other relations that appear suddenly in their life due to the fear of them going away.
Someone had hurt Morgana deeply was what Cid thought.
Morgana came back to him and presented him with
"A sandwich?"
Morgana chuckled behind her gloves after placing the sandwich in a table on the room.
"It seems like one for the ignorant eye, but this is no mere sandwich, this is perfection between two slices of bread, go ahead. Taste it, and try not to devour it in a second when you marvel in its taste"
Sure, the sandwich looked normal. But Cid had come to expect many things of the champions of the institute, but surely the sandwich had something.
Morgana was looking at him expectantly, her future in cooking depended on this moment, she had to know if things had gone well.
When Cid took a bite of the sandwich both Morgana and he were impressed.
The first due to the fact that the taster looked actually happy, and the second one due to the sandwich actually tasting way better than expected.
"Wow… this is…amazing! Morgana this is great!"
Cid kept eating the sandwich while Morgana let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. She smiled proudly at him.
"I told you, perfection between two slices of bread"
Morgana watched in happiness as Cid ate the sandwich. She found herself smiling and even humming at her success. As Cid ate in happiness the sandwich she decided to get him a desert, while she was looking for something she spoke her thoughts to him.
"I'm hoping to have my own place, it will be called Sinful Succulence. I know it will be a big success once it starts"
Cid smiled at her words. He always enjoyed when others fulfilled their goals like that. It reminded him of how good Riven was doing. Hopefully, she was doing well with Yasuo.
"I know your place will be great Morgana, I hope it won't be too much of a hit though"
Morgana looked at him puzzled as she let a tray of cookies on the table. The cookies looked like small gingerbread mans who were suffering. As Cid took a cookie Morgana looked at him with her puzzled expression.
"Why would you wish my place wasn't a success?"
Cid chuckled. The cookie tasted ironical, heavenly.
"Because if everyone goes to your place, I won't have the chance of eating this"
He chuckled again letting bits of cookie getting out of his mouth.
"Sinful succulence"
As Cid devoured the next suffering cookie Morgana found herself smiling at his words. It was the first time someone was at ease with her. The institute had many people in it, and like her some were on the darker side of the spectrum, that didn't mean they were automatically like her. She simply wanted things to go well, while her methods were not to the liking of many, they were her methods.
Some avoided her, others simply thought she was evil. People like Evelynn thought she was like them, but they couldn't be more different even if they tried, their tastes were too different, and in Morgana view, especially on what each considered a good meal.
So needless to say, sometimes making friends at the Institute proved to be a challenge at times, Kalista and Elise could be rather hard to approach at times, and while others were kind they weren't necessarily interested in making friendships, rather they were just being polite with her.
Soraka was at times nice… still, she had yet to taste one of her dishes. And she knew not to try speaking with the Night Hunter, she was just too bad company. So in the end, her friends ended up with Soraka… and Lulu. The small yordle simply didn't seem to have a sense of danger and fear, and as such, she was willing to chat with her.
Her thoughts traveled to the therapist, seeing him playing with the cookies as if they were running. She ended up letting a laugh out, something she hadn't done in a while.
"You are such a child… look you even got crumbs in your face"
She stretched her gloved hand to him to remove the crumbs off his face with a smile on hers.
Cid, in contrast, was a tad embarrassed at someone seeing his more childish side. Plus, Morgana acted as if they were really close. He felt a tad embarrassed at her removing the crumbs off his face.
"There, much better..."
Morgana went to the side and removed her gloves. Cid noticed her smile at him. And suddenly he understood something. She was acting close and kind because she had taken a liking to him, probably by her actions to be friends.
"Well Cid, would you like some tea for the cookies?"
Cid couldn't avoid thinking that her sharp ending hands looked kind of contrasting to Morgana.
Unholy yet kind. Dark and warm, quite the weird contrast.
He only nodded at the offer for tea. Morgana smiled while taking a pair of cups. She had just got a new friend to have tea with.
In another side of the Institute where the light did reach, Lux and Taliyah had finally found Jinx who was laughing at a particular enforcer who had her legs trapped in a weird contraption that spelled Jinx all over.
While both had too many questions about what happened, Lux decided to go straight to the point.
"Where did you drop Cid at?"
Jinx smiled while in thought and answered fast without putting much care on her answer.
"Oh, Morgana was in the area, so I thought she could carry him if I threw him, she always goes carrying sacks of flour heavier than him"
As Jinx spun one of her braids, Taliyah remembered that Morgana wasn't one to be kind, surely, she would do bad things to Cid. And this brought a smile to her face. After all she had been trapped with plants and getting over too many portals due to him… well, not exactly but she felt he had it coming.
Lux was thinking more along the lines that if the rumors were true then Cid would perish against Morgana cooking. They had to find her.
"Any idea where we can find Morgana?"
Vi was the one to answer the question while finally freeing herself.
"Bottom floors of the Institute, she prefers the dark vibe down there"
Jinx whistled while seemingly playing with a stopwatch.
"Three minutes, you are either getting faster or the trap was weaker"
Vi smiled proudly while closing her eyes.
"I'm just that good"
Jinx chuckled at her pose.
"Sure you are, well come on let's get Cid"
Jinx took a running start taking the hands of Taliyah and Lux. Neither of them understood why they were running until they heard the cry of Vi.
"Hey! You haven't apologized yet about earlier!"
Vi started to charge her gauntlets. She wasn't going to fail in catching her this time.
"Run you fools! She is really going to get us if you don't start running!"
Lux was trying to form words while running demanding an explanation. Taliyah decided to flow with the situation. She used her power to make a portion of the floor they were going into a board that now carried the three. Jinx stayed still noticing how now Taliyah was helping them move faster.
"Where to?"
Taliyah asked with a smirk, feeling proud of their amazement at her ability, Jinx laughed before pointing to the hallway ends.
"Take the left and then go straight till you see a big door, it will take us to the bottom floors Captain!"
Jinx was enjoying the sensation of the board they were traveling in, Lux was simply keeping herself glued to Jinx as to not lose balance. Jinx was laughing the whole time, all was fun, but Jinx heard a particular sound she knew well. Too well.
Police sirens. Police sirens closing by.
"Move this thing faster! She got serious!"
They heard the sirens closing and saw Vi rushing with the energy of her gauntlets being released.
"Let's get to the fun part Jinx! Sorry girls! But helping a criminal makes you her partners!"
Lux was gasping in fear at the idea of being hit by the enforcer crashing on them. Taliyah was just too excited and got into it.
"You will never get us!"
Jinx laughed at the girl actions.
"You heard the lady! You are not getting us!"
Jinx got closer to Taliyah.
"She is going to get us though, so rush faster!"
As they started to rush in the board, Vi was getting close to them faster. In the end, Taliyah found the path Jinx mentioned, they managed to take the road while moving faster, but Vi was not letting them go.
Vi was having fun, she always enjoyed when the bad guys tried to run, it gave her an excuse to rush against them, honestly, she didn't mind that the others helped Jinx, she was having fun.
Jinx was in a similar path of thought, things had been getting funnier nowadays, and she was glad to see how Lux and Taliyah seemed to join her small race with Vi. Though she was only wondering one thing.
"How are we going to stop when we reach Morgana?"
Morgana was having a great time with her newest friend. They shared a good taste for literature and good food, he mentioned her how Nasus would surely love to chat with her about books, she offered the idea of making a book club, she could even bring refreshments for their reunions. Cid said he wasn't sure if they could make a book club in the Institute. She smiled and said she would take care of it.
Cid was enjoying the company of Morgana too, she was rather nice when you focused on her and not on the fact she was one who used unholy powers. She was a rather simple and nice person. He was enjoying the tea and said everyone else was missing out on her cooking.
Then both attention came to the fact they could hear the sounds of an earthquake rushing to them if that made sense.
Morgana seemed to know what was going on faster than him.
In a second Morgana rushed to Cid and hugged him tightly, letting no space between them. While Cid was embarrassed, Morgana found herself focused. In a second both were covered in a big shield. A second later, Taliyah, Lux, Jinx, and Vi were thrown all around the now broken wall that at a time held the door of Morgana room.
Cid was surprised at how fast Morgana acted and kept both safe from the mess that happened. Morgana was angry, yet she wasn't as angry as she would have been if her cooking utensils would have gotten damaged.
Morgana was the first to break the silence. She spoke while still hugging Cid.
"What in the name of the dark powers brought you here!? Even more! What made you think breaking my wall would be well!?"
All looked sheepish at Morgana, Lux was embarrassed, Taliyah seemed to mumble too many words, Jinx was simply waving at Cid while getting out of the rest of the wall, and Vi seemed to cough to catch the attention of Morgana.
"My apologies… it wasn't my intention to break the wall… I was trying to get them, but well…sorry"
Morgana seemed to be in thought considering what to do. But she then took notice of how she was holding her newest friend. She had a great time today, and it wasn't worth it to get angry about something that was normal in the institute, messes always happened. And seeing how her cooking utensils didn't got damaged she breathed.
In a moment her anger faded and she simply sighed in tiredness.
"I see… nothing that new in this place then… clean floor and get the wall fixed… I will go for a walk to the library"
She let go of Cid before dusting herself and removing her hat and placing it in its proper place. She looked at Cid before bowing again.
"It was a pleasure to share tea with you today, I would love to offer you an invitation for the future"
Cid smiled at her and bowed back.
"I would love to have tea again… would you mind doing more of those cookies?"
The champions were surprised at something they didn't saw normally, they only saw it when she defeated an enemy. Morgana laughed. And laughed openly.
"You are such a child… never change that Cid… though you should let me fix your hair later"
With a quick pat on his cheek, she left the room humming in content.
Everyone was surprised. Cid was simply embarrassed at the fondness Morgana had on her touch. Cid looked at Lux and grinned at her.
"Oh look at that my friend, seems you will be rather busy, guess I will have to go back to my office"
While Lux looked surprised at him, she knew he had won. She had to clean the place or Morgana would really get her. But to her surprise and Cid demise. Taliyah seemed to get the wall fixed in a second with her powers.
"There, all done… good as new I guess, so are we getting something to eat?"
Cid sighed as Lux nodded to Taliyah. Jinx and Vi just followed them behind. Cid answered Taliyah question.
"Oh, I already ate Taliyah, though I don't mind making company for you girls in the dining hall"
Everyone stopped walking. It took Cid a few steps to notice how no one was following him.
"What's wrong?"
Jinx was the first to speak over the silence.
"You ate her cooking? Are you sure you are not the one with something wrong?"
Cid eyes opened behind his glasses. But he couldn't understand what was so surprising.
"Her cooking is great if you give her a chance you know?"
Vi whistled as they resumed their walk to the dining hall.
"Well, he is either right or just lack any sense of taste"
Jinx chuckled at her words.
"He is one of a kind that's for sure"
Vi chuckled before wondering something out loud.
"Think they are a couple? She was hugging him really tight, never saw Morgana hugging someone to use her shield, doesn't she just like… cast it away?"
As Vi kept walking with Jinx at her side, Lux was surprised at the fact, she had too much to ask to Cid, she needed details. Taliyah though felt disappointed, it seemed nothing bad had happened, once again, the therapist escaped any danger again… well there was always a next time she thought.
Vi decided to offer her input about Cid hair.
"You do got long hair mate, from behind it looks girly"
Cid sighed before saying he already heard that one. If people kept reminding him that, it meant Lux would not let it go. At moments like this, he hated how few establishments would let him enter in Demacia.
"I know, I know… maybe I should take on Morgana offer"
Vi chuckled as they walked.
The day was in its half and he felt like too much had still to happen.
