Quinn was eating in the mess hall, her fork toying with some kind of pie while her feathery companion scooped from the ceiling to steal food from random champions. She smiled, Valor knew that he could eat from her plate if he so desired but he preferred annoying the other champions and especially the Noxians. The Freljordians smiled kindly at his antics, Katarina shot her a death glare, Kog Maw started chasing after him, acid oozing from his mouth. Malzahar sighed and gave him his own food to stop the voidling from melting the whole room.

"He is quite the troublemaker."

Lux sat down next to her, smiling in amusement. The room seemed to brighten in her presence. Quinn returned her smile.

"That he is."

She took a bite from her pie, closing her eyes to savor the taste. The food in the Institute was getting better every day.

"Oh, no."

The scout followed Lux's gaze. Valor had landed on a table, having a staring contest with Lee sin, the blind monk. At least it looked like they were having one, Quinn could almost feel the Ionian's empty gaze behind the red cloth obscuring his eyes. They stayed still for a few moments seizing each other until Valor blinked.

"You lose."

The monk's kind voice reached the ranger's ears. Valor cawed in annoyance, he pecked at a frie from Lee's plate before he grudgingly started devouring it.

"Better luck next time."

He pet the eagle that squawked in delight and rubbed its head against his hand, the Ionian turned around and smiled at her direction and Quinn shivered. Was that man truly blind?

" I saw Vayne in the town. She looked sick."

Lux's voice brought her out of her reverie, the scout's eyes darted to the glove covering the vampire's seal before returning back to the Lady of Luminosity. She shrugged her shoulders trying to feign indifference.

"Really? Do vampires even get sick in the first place?"

Lux nodded, Vayne's condition was a public secret, no one really denied it or made a fuss about it but it was pretty obvious considering her daily absence from the mess hall and there were far stranger creatures in the Institute and most of them were a lot more bizarre and exotic than a run of the mill vampire fighting with a crossbow. A living tree, a walking scarecrow and a moving suit of armor just to name a few.

"They do actually. It is mainly caused by drinking a corpse's blood or refraining from feeding for a prolonged duration, they can even die in the first case. Consuming one's own blood is also quite painful from what I have heard. Most vampires die instantly from the shock."

Quinn burned the information in her brain, smirking inwardly, she barely managed to keep a straight face.

"Wow, I had no idea."

Lux nodded, her head turning when she spotted her brother entering the hall.

"I am sorry, I have to go."

Quinn smiled politely.

" It's ok, I enjoyed talking to you. See you later."

Lux beamed, she smiled widely before lifting her tray.

"Have a nice day."

And then she was gone. Quinn sat in her seat oblivious to the world around her. Annie was playing with Lulu, Diana was glaring at Leona, The nine tailed fox was teasing Riven., the exiled soldier tried to ignore her, her face resembling a tomato as the seductress sat on the Noxian's lap and started eating from her plate.

So Vayne was in the Town huh? Maybe she should pay her a visit. Quinn smirked, she stood up and left heading for the gates. Meanwhile Valor landed in front of Anivia and puffed up his chest, the Cryophroenix merely spared him a glance before continuing her meal.
