Trust me, if you're someone who gets unformatted posts, it doesn't mean I don't like you! My blog is flexible, and welcomes all people. Unformatted, formatted, new to roleplay, experienced, or new to the fandom/new to tumblr! If I don't use formatting in our posts, it's because you typically don't. I enjoy matching my partner in length and the look of the post. From experience, I know that if you don't format but your partner is, it can seem... stressful. I really don't want you to stress! If you have an issue or if you want me to format with your posts, please just tell me! I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable about something I can change
Taliyah has always been the type to obsess over her loved ones . She was used to grooming their hair and giving as many hugs as possible . . . So , with her model boyfriend being all the way across the world , there hasn't really been much for her to do other than wait it out . Wait it out by texting Ekko whenever she could .

sire-crownguard:
While he was not surprised that she already showed him such a display of respect, it brought a small pang of a prick to his chest. It was not that she was truly respected him, it was out of necessity… and perhaps… fear… Again, he did not blame the woman for such reactions, they were natural, but it did not stop the panging in his chest, and the guilt that went unseen atop his shoulders.
A soft mutter to himself, a quiet curse of annoyance. Most pertricite shackles were unstable, but of course… they were not meant to be taken off. Their intention was to bind, and then… most would wear them to their grave, which was likely nothing more than a large hole away from the innocent and evil eyes of the world.
He grabbed Taliyah’s hand with a delicate touch, unfitting of one which seemed as threatening as him. But, rather than the plain gesture, he turned her hand gently, so her palm faced down, and his other hand reached towards the shackle. Pinching a part of it between two fingers, he stared blankly, like he was considering something…
And then, as though it was only as sturdy as a dried twig, it cracked from the pressure. Like when a single thread was ripped from a web, the rest seemed to crack, and it fell off of her wrist. He hesitated, not letting go quite yet, using the hand that broke it to gently dust off any of the remaining, small shards of petricite, that would be like burning embers upon a mage’s skin, should they remain too long…
Without another delay, he did the same with the other shackle, and the pathetic remains simply clattered to the ground, forgotten, abandoned… and at this point, useless. A small triumph in his mind–a single less weapon against the innocent who are unfortunate to be… vulnerable.
“I apologize for not doing that sooner.” His voice was low, strong and steady. A small smile found its way onto his expression, followed with a minute tilt of his head to the side. “But it matters not if they overreacted… That is not a topic I wish to delve in any further, however.” Likely, it would be best for both of them to not dwell on the things that happen here.
How innocent must a girl like this be? He envied her, to a degree. Ignorancewas bliss, but too much bliss was toxin. Garen cleared his throat, and the next words he spoke were slow, but at least clear, and spoken in the native tongue of the unfortunate visitor.
“It is a pleasure to meet someone like you, Taliyah Levy.”
Taliyah was always a fan of tall people . Big , strong , able to kill her . . . The fear was always replaced by curiosity . Even after meeting Sett , a 7′8 beast , she was interested . And Garen definitely got on her good side .
When he had grabbed her small , cold hands , she knew what he could do . He could easily break her fragile bones , yet he did something better . He crushed the binds .
Taliyah let out a surprised gasp when he had . No matter how hard the shuriman had struggled , they refused to move to a better position , yet Garen . . . He just . . .
The short woman stared up at him , eyes wide with shock and excitement . “ Thank you , sire ! That - how did you - hm . . . “ A soldier perhaps ? Maybe a guard for the royal or royal himself . Probably why he’s referred to as Sire . And that build . . .
“ If you don’t mind me asking , do you fight with your fists or a sword ? Strength like that means you fight , no doubt . You look too young to be the general , but if . . . No . . . “ Taliyah rambled . If one couldn’t tell , she enjoys guessing and speaking . People in general was something she’s good at . Maybe that’s why Swain had spoken to her .
Taliyah gently rubbed her wrists as she thought . They were red , probably redder than her cheeks whenever complimented . The stone felt rough . . . Was it supposed to eventually dig into her skin and cause blood ? Maybe she should’ve heeded the warnings . . .
Wait , did Garen say something ? Taliyah looked back up at him , smiling widely . “ Please , call me Taliyah ! Or Tali ! “
Eyo! I know this isn't relating to Taliyah, but it's just a little heads up.
Just got two early birthday presents— and they're both HUGE sketchbooks! Because of this, I may be posting more art. Maybe shitposting, but definitely some AU ideas. Traditional art is my favorite, after all ♡
> brand new fiddle blog looking for people to interact with. give this little fear demon some love? <3
This . . . was definitely strange . His explanation made Taliyah's blood run cold . An arena ? She had heard of it , but she thought it was only something silly her mom had made up to get her to stop playing so rough . Granted , that didn't work , but . . .
Taliyah was brought out of her thoughts when a sudden hand gripped her shoulder . It was large and rough , something she definitely wasn't used to . The shuriman stiffened at the contact , though didn't open her mouth for refusal . In fact , she feared refusing the general . Who knew what a man like Swain could do ?
" N - No . . . I haven't visited a city under the rule of Noxus . I grew up in a tribe that was always on the move , though I did encounter people from there . If I'm to be honest , they seemed almost . . . Miserable . " Taliyah answered his question lightly , eyeing the city . It was dark , in her opinion . Crowded and full of blacks , reds , and dark blues . Dangerous eyes followed the pair , one reason being because of Swain , the second because of Taliyah's bright clothing . Places like this always made her stick out like a sore thumb . " Do people know how to be subtle ? "
The realization was evident in her eyes, the earth colored irises widening in recognition. “The pleasure is all mine, miss Taliyah” Swain replied smoothly, quieting down to listen to the girl’s explanation.
An ideological approach to answering was the Shuriman’s choice. He’d reply in kind. “Some of our customs are brash” The general admitted to the girl. “But violence is universal language. We try to limit the use of violence to battlefield or arena. Should someone start practicing excessive violence outside those theaters… We offer them a choice. To serve in penal legion and take their tendencies to battlefield, or to the arena where our champion Draven will educate them on the wielding of such violence for amusement’s sake” He offered her a chilling smile at the end of this explanation.
Stepping beside her, his hand closed around her shoulder, turning to young woman to walk with him, the two heading deeper into the city of Noxus Prime. “Have you visited the Noxian cities in Shurima? Tell me, how are they nowdays?” He asked in conversational tone, as the two began making their way deeper into the city.
"Hey, Taliyah! I found this trench coat in my attic! Get on my shoulder and put the coat on so we can go see Zootopia in the theatre!"
" Do you need some stilts on top of that ? At least they can tell I'm a woman by glancing at my chest . "

Tagging: whoever hasn't done it/wants to do it!
Taliyah let out a hum in response , her bright golden eyes inspecting him . Her lover — a man of wisdom . If only he understood . . . The cosmic goddess tilted her head , small smile crossing her star covered cheeks .
" Ekko , how would they even figure out without getting a little dirty ? The Queen would never soil her hands . " Yet again , how would Taliyah know ? A being of curiosity couldn't possibly know as much as her teacher .
Taliyah was always amazed by tall people . More specifically , their hands . Call it whatever you want , but it’s just so interesting . Hell , his palm could probably cover her whole face ! Yeah , her attention was split as he spoke .
Taliyah looked up suddenly , Sett’s face WAY closer than it just was . Wow , okay , personal space . Her hazel eyes studied him , silent for a moment or two . Was this a person she should trust ? After all , he did do a LOT of damage earlier . . . Oh , whatever . She can fend for herself .
To answer Sett’s question , Taliyah just smiled innocently . “ The arena is made of stone , by the look of it . I can protect myself . “ Taking a look around , the Shuriman just hummed . “ I wanted to know what people were talking about . You’re the Boss , no ? “
