"Other Other Shiny!"
"Hello Lulu."
Lux curled and uncurled her fingers slowly. As much as she wanted to forgive Lulu and go back to playing pranks like nothing had happened, on seeing Lulu she couldn't help but remember her empty eyes as her magic had twisted through Lux's body.
She could still feel the tendrils grasping her limbs when she let her mind wander, feel her muscles pulled too far and -
Lux shook herself.
Lulu skipped up to her, the little mage's hat and staff bobbing as she did. The pixie seemed back to his normal self Lux noted, spinning through the air as he trailed after her. Maybe if she had just paid more attention last time the whole thing could have been avoided.
"Want to play whisp-er-o'-wisp? It's where we whisper a secret to the first wisp we find, and then see how it reacts! Be careful, though," she leaned in conspiratorially. "They're awful gossips, so don't tell them anything too scandandalous."
Lux chewed on her lip, the dull pain a welcome distraction to keep her in the present. "I don't know, Lulu. I don't think I'm up for it today."
"They're only up for me, silly! You're plenty tall enough!" Lulu frowned, doing an impressive impression of pondering. "What if I turn rectangle man into a fuzzy?"
Lux's lips twitched, but she quickly schooled her face into stillness. "Rectangle man" was Lulu's name for her brother. The image of him disappearing and a fluffy purple rodent crawling out of his massive armor was delicious.
But no! She could not simply let Lulu get her way. That had gotten her into this mess in the first place. "No Lulu. I can't."
"What if I turn Kitty Kitty Grr Grr into a fuzzy?"
"Nidalee turns into animals anyway. Why would - "
"Not Kitty, Kitty Kitty Grr Grr." Lulu drew a vertical line over her left eye with a stubby purple finger and blew a clump of hair from her eyes.
"Oh, Kitty Kitty Grr Grr." Lux paused, conflicted. Well, Lulu could use some more supervision. "Throw in an Ezreal transformation and we have a deal."
