pit's king. /// halvett.
“ PEOPLE SAY THEY DON’T LIKE violence , ” begins Sett as though speaking to the elements , whichever one of them may be willing to listen ——— and rubs his knuckles against his palm , “ but they all watch . ” And sure enough it feels like someone has been watching him drag the faces of some smart - asses ( should he even bother calling them muggers ? Cowards , maybe , nothing more than that ) through mud of the cold city streets , all stealthy and secretive in a way Sett is far from familiar with . He stands to his full height again , hands clenched into fists .
“ SO WHOEVER’S OUT HERE GETTIN’ an eyeful ‘a this better say hello . I was never good at hide ‘n seek . ”

watch they do. to marvel at the spectacle of violence is to become a part of the audience, witnessing knuckles coming into contact with another's face, knocking out a tooth or two, it's unique to that type of performance. it is a dance that requires brute strength, burly individuals that could easily instill fear into a layperson. who better at this fatal dance than the king of the pit, the boss everyone has whispered on & on about for his strength ? ( what show he truly puts on. a meat head to the very end of coincidental confrontation. ) sett's dance ... is it calculated, or is it blind rage that overcomes his being ? curiosity may kill the cat, but a bird's vantage comes from flight alone.
❛ not good at hide 'n seek ? ❜ finally, he speaks, blessing very atmosphere with his voice once more. talking is his forte, one of many gifts. ❛ probably 'cause you're not supposed to punch those you find. ❜ around the corner & he's in full view, grin plastered on his lips. mischievous. not looking for trouble, but to thank for the show. or is silent appreciation far superior ? ❛ you did a number on those guys, though. not bad ! i'm impressed. ❜ despite his praise, distance is maintained. albeit rakan holds confidence for his own escape tactics, he opts to be careful around the boss. / to become his enemy is to take part of the play, to be on his stage. this deadly dance is not for him. not yet.

defender of tomorrow? you need to defend your hair from whoever’s giving you a haircut like THAT!
martel swears a vein in his forehead his about to pop; as they stand, he can almost see it, the headlines—bird vastaya gives defender of tomorrow a heart attack! wow, what a great way to make his return to piltover memorable.
instead of letting anger get the best out of him, jayce approaches the vastaya with a smile (it’s more a show of his perfect pearly whites than a proper smile, but who really cares? he certainly doesn’t—). leaning in, he presses his index finger to the lhotan’s bare chest. “–you are so very lucky i can’t make you into skewer without ruining my reputation, bird boy, but lemme tell you something–” he grins, then, and he’s a far, far cry from the man on the posters. “there’s more than one way to skin a rabbit, or in your case, a parrot.”

lillia. /// herdream.
❛ oh … s - so you don’t — ❜ if her long droopy ears could drop any further they did now, despite being told she shouldn’t feel embarrassed — how could she not? such a stupid question, lillia! stupid, stupid, st — ❛ l - lillia … my name’s lillia. ❜ she shares, ❛ is the … n - no. are the humans in your dream … truly like that? ❜ a sudden question, but it gives way into the innocent curiosity that fuels violet hues. ❛ your dreams … they are warm, a - and so much fun! but … the humans … they make them … cold. are … are the humans … cold … ? ❜
oh, how she wanted to learn about the world just outside the outskirts of these trees! but she remained here, alone amongst the wildlife & the dreams that greet her. so many dreams, sad, joyous. dark … so many dark dreams — she was surprised when this person had managed to find her, even when she hid so well behind the trees & amongst the willowy branches … he found her!
if he were oblivious to her sudden tonal shift, to the underlying melancholy that's embellished within every syllable, would he truly be rakan ? certainly not ! attuned to his own sentiments grants him ability ( if one could even call it that, of course ) to discern the emotions of others —— comes with his natural beauty, what can he say ? that's all he needs to change his goal, to uplift her spirits, he's a charmer, an entertainer, what more does he need than his audience to smile for him ?
❛ pleasured to meet you, lillia ! i'm sure you've heard of me, ❜ confidence exudes from the smirk that grows onto his lips, hand extended towards her, albeit making certain to not so much as touch her. his hope of her shaking his hand comes from the expectation she'll reach out. scaring her away is not his intention, to move about meticulously & carefully ... almost like a dance, with a few extra steps. ❛ but, if you haven't ... rrrrakan, ❜ emphasis on rolling the r sound, simple effort to elicit even the smallest laugh, the kindest smile. ❛ the charmer, the life of the party, the most beautiful thing you'll ever see ! ❜ hearty chuckle, even if it's a slight one.
❛ as for the humans ... ❜ how peculiar. that feeling of dreaming, that feeling of conversing with another about a certain topic, doing specific actions ———— only for it to be mimicked in the real world, a strong sense of familiarity, have they met ? no, no, he's certain they haven't. ❛ feel like i've told someone this before. humans aren't bad, ❜ is that the truth ? or is it merely a conjured lie perceived as reality ? some were good, some held malevolent intentions, whose fault is that ? ❛ but some of them ... ❜ how somber it felt now, each word. eyebrows furrowed, lips pursed, sky blue hues shifting towards extended hand, thinking. full of joy, though he knows of the cruelty some display. averting his eyes to that would not do him well. thankfully, he catches himself, shakes his head & a bonafide grin grows onto his lips as his focus remains on lillia's eyes, like soft lavender they were. ❛ it's a long, long story. i'll just say they, uh, fear something they know nothing about. magic. you know about magic, right lillia ? ❜

katarina hardly paid any attention to foreign matters . especially not ones without direct concern. as the foul-mouthed demons brought her up on one single rule : strength. above all else. ( it’s not right. it’s not. —- but is she one to stop this vicious cycle ? no. ) so, the issues of the vastaya were far beyond her influence. they either had the strength to resolve them, or didn’t.
she’s perched above the rest, atop a thin tree with nimble branches. if it weren’t for her undetected presence, her cover would have already been blown. thankfully, she was a professional.
‘ hey. bird boy. ‘ katarina makes an intentionally audible movement, skilled eyes tracking the twitch of his ears. she waits patiently for his attention, lips curled into a smug smile, a sickeningly arrogant air to her expression. ‘ yes, you. you know who i am, don’t you ? ‘ / @feyquil
saccharine voice, dripping with venom & amusement, lands upon his ears, evoking attention from the lone lhotlan vastaya. ears twitch in response to her call, swiftly turning on heel to look for the source of feminine voice ——— alas, it's for naught. or so he thinks, 'till his gaze shifts upward to grace azures with the scarlet red tendril hanging over her visage ... no, no, that's not it. it's a scar. at least, he thinks it is. there's no telling from the distance they have between each other. regardless, it's but a trifling matter as long as she demands a response. he speaks.
❛ me ? ❜ shifts hand to stick out index, pressing tip against his own chest, as if to clarify who she's speaking to. as if that deadly gaze was staring at anyone else besides him. his brow quirked, countenance growing with an increased perplexity, intending to understand her query ( who is she ? is she any familiar ? no, no, she's human. he doesn't mingle with 'em often at a personal level. & her sense of beauty ? eugh. too much black for his taste ). he hums, almost as if in deep contemplation, though his true intent's to stall. shoulders roll, head shakes. ❛ nope, don't think i know you ! have we met ? i think we've met. i'm just not remembering is all ! ❜
*chucks a 🏆 at his forehead*
how do u feel abt my rakan?
SNIFF.....MY FOREHEAD HURTS...BUT IT’S THE PAIN OF VALIDATION AND FRIENDSHIP. THANK YOU...
battle dancing is one of the things he took pride in, one of the things he has honed, not simply out of mere interest, but because it is interwoven with the care of his being. dancing is freedom. freedom is dancing. to have one with the other is naught but a lie ( a carefully constructed concept that would be forsaken, for it is a mere imitation of the art, albeit lacking soul ). that is his rationale for why kayn does this. why kayn continues to train without breaking sweat, why he perceives kayn to push himself to his limits, why he believes kayn explains it to him, & despite how exhaustive it may be, sheepish grin is all that is offered ——— forgive him, he hasn't processed all that information.
❛ right, right, so ... ❜ digits curl right against his chin, lips coming to form a small pout, brows furrowed as he attempts to regurgitate kayn's information to him. ❛ you do that so that they can ... ❜ trails off into silence, humming. a shrug is offered in place of a verbal answer. ❛ i dunno, fall ? ❜ this is a mess. /// @shadowhelmed

i liked for this. / always accepting !!
@vengearrow said : "Rakan... hold still for a second." Varus reaches for the back of his scarf, lifting the amulet out from underneath, and places it around Rakan's neck. The red jewel shimmers brilliantly in the sun on his chest, and Varus hums in approval. "As I thought... it looks good on you. Keep it."
this warmth shall not go unnoticed. to avert his gaze from it would be a betrayal of the heart's desires, to silence an enlightened song of passion a deadly move that must not be executed ——— pessimistic perceptions may insist on silencing it, all in attempt to facilitate darkness's entrance to his heart, its only motivation to deter rakan from chosen path // to stray from what heart deems right is to betray his beliefs, to forsake what his heart beats for !! despite how convoluted the matters in his heart are, to reject them is to reject himself. growing sense of camaraderie between them nurtured through meticulous hands that cared for blooming flower, growing, living at base of his heart. travel has only strengthened its resolve, invoked muse to experience breath of life, longed for after times of pure peril, times where life itself had nearly been taken from rakan. ( oh, what's life without a little danger ? )
beyond such delicate flora its seeds, budding feeling of romance masked beneath guise of friendship, very one he dared not break yet. how peculiar such love came to be, how unnaturally natural did it feel to fight at his side, for their fates to be bounded to one another, walking along same path, shoulder to shoulder, initially perceived impossibility becoming their reality. through each conversation, through each battle, through each smile they offered one another at night's silence, where naught but the stars are their witness ... through it all, it became natural. natural to be at his side, where he belongs. not for the warmth he provides —— said warmth a virtue, albeit afterthought to the true prize : varus himself. very man that gifts him amulet, that accepts perceived reality of intertwined fates. in this together 'till bitter end.
❛ thanks ... i think it looks good on me, too !! ❜ he jests, it's natural, praise for himself, bonafide chuckle emitting from his throat. he hums, observes the amulet for moment, considering its color, its significance, how great it looked on varus, how good it looks on him. eventually, he decides. screw subtlety. ❛ 'course, it looks just as nice on you. then again ... there's never been a moment where you look bad at all. you're pretty easy on the eyes. ❜ see the grin forming on his lips ? see the rise of his brows, the evident gaze that neared longing every passing second. this road's destination ... shall it be cut short, or shall it prove fruitful ? lady luck, smile down on him.
