"Katie, wake up"

Katarina was sleeping peacefully. The sun was still low but they had an important match today so george thought it would be wise to wake them earlier.

While talon was a light sleeper and didn't need it, cassiopea and katarina were another story. When they were children their father would always let them sleep in the morning but now, they couldn't just miss their duty.

"Katie, I made pudding for breakfast and I believe cassi will soon attack your share."

Katarina opened her eyes as if she was awake since hours ago. She put her clothes in a hurry and used her shampo to go in the kitchen. George was standing next to the bed and cleaned his monocle from the dust she made from using her power.

"youth..."

He made her bed and went down. Talon was eating quietly his fruits while cassiopea and katarina were fighting to know who would eat the last pudding. George smiled and went to the table. He took out his handkerchief and put it on the pudding.

"Miss, you shouldn't fight for a single sweet. Always remember that behind a great thing always stand its shadow."

As he said so, he took off his handkerchief and a second pudding. Cassiopea smiled and took one while katarina stared at him.

"How did you do that?"

George smiled under his beard.

"A magician shouldn't reveal his trick."

She shrugged and took the second pudding. She ate it happily and talked with cassiopea about the watch they would have today. They had to fight to settle the right on a mine on the border of Demacia. Seeing how determinate each leader were, the fight would last for the day. Talon was humming while eating. He loved couwils. A rare fruit someone couldn't obtain normally. Luckily for him George had a way to found them and seeing that he was in the institute now, he could eat it more often.

"Have a good day."

They left wagging at him. When they disappeared, he went inside and cleaned. It took him less than one hour. After making sure everything would be ready for their return, he went out and searched for the zen garden. He took his tea with him and a news paper. After a few minutes and some helps, he finally found it.

The place was beautiful, a pond with a small bridge crossing it. The grass was well kept and the three hid well the sun. George took out his table cloth and sat under the tree. With such a warm weather, his tea felt nice.

As he enjoyed the calmness of the place, he heard someone behind him. He had his cane ready but being on the institute ground it couldn't be an assassin. Not that it was impossible. He smothered his suit and took back his tea. He was about to turn his head to meet the stranger but a small "bump" next to him made him turn his head the other way.

There stood two young girls. One had a teddy bear and a school uniform while the other looked like a sorceress with a small fae. They were looking at him with sparkle in their eyes.

"Mister, what are you drinking?"

The fae was flying around his head while the sorceress asked him.

"It's called tea. Do you wish to taste it?"

The two looked at each other and smirked playfully while looking at him.

"Hat lady told us to not trust stranger."

George smiled.

"Well then, petites filles , I am George Blacksteel."

They idn't wait for him to ask.

""I'm annie!I'm lulu!""

"My oh my, now that we know each other, do you want a cup of tea mesdemoiselles?"

"eh eh, you speak funny, like sword lady. Yes I want!"

"Yes!"

he took two more cups and gave them some tea. They were wary at first but after a few lick, they finally drank two girls stood with him asking question on question. It reminded George of cassiopea and katarina when they were children.

Finally, noon came. George took out a box of hand made spaghetti. The girls stared at him.

"Do you wish to eat with me?"

They nodded their heads and after being served ate everything they had in their plates. George ate slowly, enjoying the view of the garden and the laughter of the children next to him. When they ate everything, they fell asleep next to each other.

George took off the top of his suit and put it on the children leaving him with his white under-jacket. He made himself another cup of tea and enjoyed the silent atmosphere. It didn't las long. On the other side of the garden a woman appeared she was rather special. Not in a bad way.

She wore rather revealing clothes and had fox's tails and fox's ears. George studied her while she came to him. She had a well made body and a pretty face. He continued to drink his tea.

When she finally reached him she stopped herself and caught her breath. After a few second, she looked at george.

"How did you do this?"

He was confused. How did he do what?

"pardon?"

"How did you calm them?"

"ho!"

He laughed and took off his monocle.

"I just let them play until they got tired."

It was now her turn to be shoked.

"WHAT?! Are you some kind of shen guy? No one can stay with those two without loosing his mind! Even karma cursed because of them!"

"Well I don't know personally this "karma" you're talking about but she just don't know how to handle children. Now, would you mind sitting down and share une tasse de thé?I don't want to wake them."

Ahri looked at the man an sighed. It was no use trying to understand, she sate down in front of him and took the cup he offered her. They talked about who they were and how they came to join the institute. Ahri was the most surprised of the two. She didn't expect a "butler" to handle two young champions by himself but when he told her he took care of the Du couteau, she could somehow accept it.

Ahri regained her consciousness. She didn't remember falling asleep. She felt a nice sensation on her head and purred. She opened one eyes and saw a black slacks. She moved her head a little to see who it was and saw george. He was reading his news paper while stroking her. The two young girls were still sleeping under his top suit.

She closed her eyes and enjoyed it. It had been a long time since she had such nice rest. The league had been hell for her. When she joined she explained her circumstance to the summoners but they transformed it into a perv story. She indeed took the life essence from men but by killing them with her orb. The summorner wrote that she "did it" and soon after that all the female avoided her aside from a few one; Worst than that. All the single champion tried to hit on her to pass a night with her.

Thinking about it, a tear appeared on her cheek.

"There there ma chère don't cry. Everything is fine."

As George said that he stroke her gently behind her airs and hummed a small song. She curled up and fell asleep again.

"Shen did you see Ahri? I asked her to take care of the children but I fear it was a bad idea."

Shen simply nodded and pointed to the zen garden. Karma bowed to him and ran to the garden. Did the girls destroy it? Did ahri try to teach the girls how to charm a man. She couldn't calm herself. When she finally reached the garden, she saw something she never expected. The children were sleeping peacefully under the three while ahri was laying down on the leg of a man.

He was calm, humming a soft song while stroking ahri airs. He was wearing a suit but the top was used as a blanket by the children. Karma spotted a cup of tea at his left and saw him took a sip after putting down his news paper.

The face of the man was at peace and it made her think of ionian elder. The whole scene was peaceful. She went to him and greeted him.

Respectfully, he proposed her to seat in an empty spot next to him and offered her a cup of tea. She accepted and spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying the scenery of the place. When the moon began to show up Ahro and the children woke up.

Ahri was the first to speak.

"HU? Karma? What are you doing here? Wait where am I? "

She looked at George who smiled at her. Realizing what happened, she blushed and ran away after thanking him. Anni and lulu still groggy looked at karma.

"Green lady? What are you doing here."

Karma smiled at the girls. She stood up and took their hand. George tidied everything up and put on his top suit.

"Thank you mister for taking care of them."

"I should be the one to thank them for keeping company to a vieille homme like me."

She bowed and left with the girls. George went back to the manor and waited for the Du couteaus to came back. After a few minutes, they came in. He could see how tired they were.

"I prepared a bath for each of you and made a soupe aux légumes."

They looked at him and smiled. It was good to have someone take care of you after a long day.
