'' the moment i lose control, the shadows may awake their true nature and try to devour your flesh in order to gain a constant physical form. you probably like your flesh, do you not? "
❛ their true nature ? ❜ the implications are there, that they are at his will. his every command is law they abide by, unless they break free of that control, adopt that nature they so desire & scramble to nearest supposed victim for a physical form. is that their intention ? his words ring true, they're a blade, a threat to silence him. alas, his thoughts lie elsewhere. ❛ so, you control them & you don't ! at the same time ? that means you can make them do it, or they do it by themselves ! ❜ that definitely clears things up. /// @umbrasecta
ok here’s an exhaustive, tentative ship tier list for rakan! some things aren’t like 100% concrete, if i vibe w/ a ship it’s always bound to move up so who knows
❛ it's a bit peculiar, don't you think ? ❜ there's an attempt to catch her off guard, catch her while she's alone —— dangerous woman whose capabilities demonstrates a forte for naught but one thing, per his observing eye : killing. hell, one misstep is all it takes & he's certain that she'd have thirty different ways to kill him planned out. granted, he approaches her with caution, yet can't help but wonder what compelled him to approach her in the first place ( no, he knows, he knows ! curiosity, ever the stubborn mistress, guides him. a desire to know prevails above every sense that wishes to avert itself from danger. ❛ a vastaya doing the bidding of a human ... ❜ rakan coos, circling around her slowly, noticing the distinct features on her personage that resembles that of a feline — he's intrigued. ❛ you under a spell ? they got dirt on you ? ❜

❛ confident enough to go out by yourself, aren't you ? ❜ smug tone is evident, every intent lying within his words as smug smirk curves at his lips, visage presenting faux ease, one to deceive her enough to allow her guard to fall.
lux, optimist at heart that sought peace & serenity through each battle — her desire to grow as a team remains admirable, it is one of the defining features that sets her apart from the rest ( a true leader is fit to help herself & those around her ). alas, that, too, may be her drastic downfall, what inhibits her from truly blooming into the beauteous flower she holds potential to be. one may clamor over how pivotal it is to cooperate, the integrity of teamwork, but cooperation is a myth. leaders don an amicable guise to deceive others into doing selfish work, for leaders are meant to abandon others they don't see fit —— leaders will allow others to fall in their stead.
❛ you must feel really lucky, star nerd. ❜ impish tone applied without problem, rakan's movements fluid & much too relaxed, edging closer & utilizing his towering stature to loom over her, staring down, down at her, for she is small. a simple task. a persistent bug that must be squashed. accept the doubts of your heart. ❛ running into me of all people ! you should feel special. ❜ in that same instance, another tonal shift is beckoned, countenance following right along : eyelids lower ever so slightly, corner of lips curving wider towards ears, & his voice ? void of its initial gaiety. ❛ special, that's what everyone says you are, but i'm sure you know you're not all that special. that you can't do anything to help anyone, right ? ❜ /// @finalsparke
ahri. /// vuikusen.
Annoyance flickers as the vixen’s ears begin to twitch the moment he began to mention how shes a dependable ally & that hes SUPPOSEDLY the more beautiful one - IMAGINE lying to yourself like that ! Hands put themselves ‘pon the females curvaceous form as she leans forward almost attempting to TOWER over him yet he still holds an inch to her in height . “ You’re attractive but not that attractive ! “
Though Ahri knows that was more than enough to make the male elated with such praise , the nine-tailed fox holds herself to high standards & believes to be one of the most gifted / beauteous creatures on this plane of existence . Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder however Ahri manages to favor that quite a lot. “ Of course I’m a dependable ally , what do you think I am ? ”
❛ you're a dependable ally, always have been, always will be ! we just can't have your looks faltering —— & listen ... ❜ he is not one to go on tangents of what is beautiful & what isn't. it's not his style. however vain it may sound, he knows that beauty's kiss has chosen him ! ahri, however, is a picturesque vixen that exemplifies feminine beauty in his eyes, her curvaceous form & pretty lips exemplifying that ; yes, yes, if one were to deceive rakan's ears with a dulcet lie of her being beauty's embodiment, he would fall for such a perceived truth, refuse to disagree !! regardless, he, too, is aware of his own beauty, he swims in it, drinks from it. a visually attracting charmer, too, deserves to be beauty incarnate. such a perplexing situation, is it not ?
❛ there's things that are clearly beautiful & just plain beautiful. we're both on the clearly beautiful side, just ... ❜ a hum, digit pressing against this line of his lips, pondering on choice words that come next. mind's blocked / he cannot care for it now, a confession of the heart is better, right ? ❛ i just think i can captivate more eyes than you, is what i'm saying ! ❜ a confident statement delivered with a nonchalant smile. a bit egotistical ? perhaps.

@unshackles said : " a little bird told me that you and your... spouse are quite familiar with rebellions. "
oh, oh ? what an intriguing statement, what an intriguing man to propose such a rumor he's heard naught of. few know of their rebellion, mostly vastaya, though whispers did not discriminate ; if a human ear could catch wind of their plans for rebellion, then surely a wider audience will be garnered. heh, good. the more eyes on him, the more exciting this stage where war's tension rises // all will marvel at his dance, freedom's song, an unending tune that he & xayah forged, so that everyone may experience magic as it's meant to be : wild, free !!! // leaving a guest unanswered is rude, it's tacky. granting him the honor of a response is the least rakan could do. perhaps do a little digging of his own. he always was the most curious between him & xayah.
❛ maaaaaybe, ❜ mischievous in his intents, his tone adopts a playful tune, brows lowering & corner of his lips quirking into a lopsided grin. elusive as always, the truth isn't too important, is it ? if it is, there's no need to worry over it. living in the moment was far more entertaining. short - term entertainment always proved to be greater than long term ( both diminish at different rates is all, one slower, one faster ! a transient moment of joy has more worth than long ones that shall eventually die out ). ❛ depends which little bird told you. ❜ depends whether he is enemy or ally. he's human, comes the assumption perceived from his physical appearance. no trace of vastayan qualities found on him. ❛ who told you ? but, i like to make things fun, take a few chances with fate. we are quite familiar with rebellions. that a problem ? ❜
