"And he spent all evening trying to get rid of the mud ! "
Quinn laughs , it's a rare treat , Vayne smiles even though she feels like crying . The mess hall is bustling with life , champions and summoners pass by giving Vayne curious looks . Quinn's laughter dies out , she tries to scoop a bit of soup with her spoon but fails miserably . Her off-hand trembling slightly spilling soup on the table . She glances at her dominant hand still covered in bandages and sighs . She should have gone for the pie .
She feels Vayne's hand on her own , the vampire takes the spoon and raises it to her mouth , sadness obvious in her gaze .
"Here "
Quinn pauses , she stares at her for a while . Vayne waits patiently , her face a mask carved in stone . Only her eyes betray her emotions , the crimson slits to her soul are restless . Quinn opens her lips reluctantly and Vayne spills the spoon's contents in her mouth . She waits for her to swallow before she repeats her actions . It is only after the plate is empty that Vayne stops . Quinn's face is slightly flushed and a little smile is tugging on the vampire's lips . Quinn is adorable !
"How often do you drink blood ? "
The question caught her off guard and she tries to come up with a reasonable answer , one that won't harm Quinn and let her heal if she agrees to help her .
"Once every three or four days , it depends on my injuries "
"And in the fifth day ? "
"I get sick and I start losing my strength "
"Is it painful ? "
"Yes"
She answers calmly , honestly , her voice doesn't waiver at all . The way she shares her secrets is quite unnerving .
"And how long until you can't even stand after this point ? "
"five days at most , it depends on a lot of things . How much blood I had , if it is a full moon , if I am injured . "
She nodes , she takes a deep breath to prepare herself .
"Why don't you come and live with me? "
Shock , awe , confusion , Vayne's mask crumbles in pieces , it melts and reforms in a million different expressions . It takes her a few moments to find her voice , a few painful , agonizing moments staring at her with her mouth open .
"What?"
"It would benefit both of us , you would drink in seclusion and I would be next to my bed in case I am about to faint ."
Vayne thinks about all the time she can spend with the scout and smiles , her eyes light up . Quinn hurries to dispel the magic .
"No biting unless I permit it "
"Of course ."
"You are sleeping on the couch . "
"Sounds reasonable ."
"I will be restraining you every night , I don't want you creeping behind my back . "
She nods , Quinn sighs disturbed by her good mood . Vayne would rub her face against her cheek if she wasn't certain that Quinn would reply violently .
"So you like fucking corpses ? "
The voice is sinister like a demon's whisper , it makes Vayne's blood boil . She turns around only to find Katarina smirking at her , her hands dangerously close to her blades .
" Because if you do , I can arrange you a meeting with Sion . "
Her smile widens , she leans in to lock eyes with Vayne , their faces inches apart .
"He can satisfy your cravings and doesn't stink like blood. "
Vayne stares at her coldly , her crimson slits staring at the redhead's majestic orbs . There she goes ruining the mood . Reminding Quinn that she is siting with a monster . But a corpse ? She isn't one , well technically she is . Her life ended once but she has a heartbeat and she is warm and there is blood flowing though her veins and . . and she is in love . She ignores her , no need to make more enemies .
"Coward"
Katarina looks disappointed , she turns to Quinn .
"So are you a bit braver ? do you have a shred of . . . Valor? "
She cracks a smile at her own joke , her eyes shining with mirth . Quinn's hands clench into fists , her lips form a thin line . Katarina smiles in her face .
"Coward "
Vayne tenses .
"I guess it is true what they say about you . You are broken."
She is in the air the next moment , crashing on the table , throwing plates and mugs around her . She rolls on the floor out of breath , her eyes blinking in confusion . Her hand shots to the burning mass that is her jaw . It is broken . She raises her gaze as two guards grab the vampire's arms . A summoner runs to her aid and starts chanting a spell . Vayne smirks at her as the guards drag her away .
"Who is broken now ? "
