Talon POV
Talon was sitting in a booth with his sisters, and was slowly drinking his wine, opting not to drink too much. He tuned his sisters' voices out as they were mindlessly chattering away about things Talon could care less for. He glanced above the rim of his cup, his eyes scanning over the crowds of champions and summoners alike drinking there thoughts away. His eyes rested on a party of demacians who were just standing up to leave, and he watched as they all hobbled out of the building. He noticed a small piece of fabric draped on one of the chairs where they were sitting, and instantly recognized it as the scarf Lux was always wearing. He promptly walked towards the scarf to pick it up, his sisters not noticing him leave as he walked out of the bar in pursuit of the Crownguards.
Lux POV
The postgame party had been a disaster. After another Demacian win, Lux, Jarvan, and Garen went to Graggy's Bar to celebrate. Everything was going fine, the group laughing and talking for hours. Lux was happy when she left, but was freezing in the cold night air. She didn't notice anything wrong, until Garen noticed her shivering. "Why aren't you wearing your scarf?" Garen asked, slightly drunk but still able to comprehend the obvious. Lux's lighter frame was more vulnerable to the alcohol, however, as she completely forgotten about her scarf. Her scarf had been given to her by her mother, one of the only happy memories Lux still had of her. And when the realization hit her, she instantly starting running back towards the bar, hoping it to be there. She asked everyone, and searched every square inch, but it was nowhere to be found. She slowly walked back to her room, sobbing all the way. She slowly opened the door, shambling to her bed and flopping on to it. That was when she felt the other presence. She looked up, and saw a dark silhouette holding an elegant scarf. "I noticed you dropped this, Crownguard." The mysterious man set the scarf on Lux's bed, and jumped out the open window. Lux quickly stood up, wiped away her tears, and ran to the window. She looked outside, but couldn't find the mysterious man or any trace of him. She sighed, closing the window and walking back to her bed, clutching the scarf tightly.
Talon POV
It took several minutes to escape from his sisters' talking and scolding of his actions, but he finally managed to slip out. He started walking away, pretending to walk back to his room, then stood for a while outside of his door. Talon glanced around, making sure no one was looking his way, then silently sneaked through the Demacian wing. When he came to Lux's door, he slowly opening it, not making a sound, then closed it behind him. He then slipped a note out of his pocket, and left it on her table. He had no idea what he was doing, but he was sure it would work. His job being done, he slipped out the door again and headed towards the library. When he got there, he hid in the shadows, waiting for Lux to arrive.
Lux POV
Lux was walking back from her lunch with Garen when she noticed a dark figure leaving her room. It dashed around the corner, and she tried to follow it but quickly lost sight. She sighed in frustration, then remembered they came out of her room, and cautiously entered. She glanced around, looking for anything out of the ordinary. It took her a while, but she finally noticed the note on her table. She picked it up, and quickly glanced over it.
Crownguard, meet me in the library as soon as you read this. Remember to discard this letter
-T
Her heart fluttered as she thought of Talon, then quickly threw the note in the garbage disposal and started speed-walking to the library.
Sorry this took so long to post, I had writer's block for the longest of times, then I just forgot about this story altogether. I managed to patch up what I had wrote from before, and I'm going to try to post more often, but with shorter chapters like these. I'll try to work for some longer chapters, but I need to finish the round of flashbacks I'm setting up.
