Lissandra sat on a throne of ice beside Baron's alcove. She sat up straight, tapping her claws on the arm of her chair. She sighed frozen breath, turning the air about her mouth to ice crystals. She listened to all the things moving about her, keeping her acute hearing attuned to picking up sounds of other champions. She had learned to know what each one sounded like when they walked.
A tiny smile twitched on her lips as she heard a familiar gait walking down river to meet her. She had learned that Jayce had three different walks, a normal one that he used when he saw her or when he was in his lab, the other two when he had either his mercury cannon or hammer equipped; the weapon always made his steps heavier depending on which mode he held.
She turned her face to him, raising a hand in greeting as she formed a shelf of ice for his hammer, both knew it was dangerous to let the electric weapon hit the water. Jayce gave her a tired hello, happy to see her if only for a few minutes this early in the match. Their sense of map awareness told them that top and mid had to retreat so they had a bit.
Jayce smiled softly, laying his hammer down as he leaned up and pressed his nose to her cheek. He would have loved to kiss her but that took so much set up. He rested his gloved hands over her frozen claws. He congratulated her on winning her lane, explaining he was having a harder time in his lane this match. He huffed softly as he rested his nose between her jaw and her neck guard. He simply stood there and relaxed, growing calm in her cold presence. He frowned softly as he felt her claws in his hair, knowing it was her show of affection that marked the time when they had to return to their lanes. He nodded and pulled away, wishing her a soft goodbye as he started to leave; they did not want to be seen by either team's jungler. Lissandra frowned once he left, she felt oddly hollow whenever he left her side.
