"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 . "
Hey again! As I was responding to a post, I decided to try and use the computer to properly cut it since it was long. However, I ran into a problem... There wasn’t an X to trim the post with this. My partner said they had the same thing happen to them to, so I’ll be using a new tag until this is cleared up! Please block the tag #Long Boy if you don’t want to see long posts on this blog! I love y’all, and I’ll be giving responses to those who need it! Love, Lexie~ <3
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 .

" Exactly ! Ekko , you didn't have to . . . If you wanted to celebrate my birthday , then just give me more attention . "
This . Was . Bad . Here Taliyah is , cake on her face and clothes , boyfriend about to cry . This isn't what she wanted ! The shuriman let out a soft sigh , swiping some of the dessert from her cheek , licking it up .
" Well , now how are we gonna share ? "
" The generals Darius and Swain , " Taliyah responded quickly . Two of the most feared men in Runeterra . . . Two of the three leaders of Noxus .
Taliyah's face showed no sign of a lie . Blunt was the best she could be sometimes . . . However , her serious expression quickly turned to shock then embarrassment at the realization of how it was phrased .
" W-What I mean is , General Darius refuses to fight me until I am able to bend this one stone . Apparently Demacia is famous for it — not that I like Noxus . " Taliyah was quick to explain what she had meant . Going around Demacia saying the two generals of Noxus sent you is basically a suicide mission !
" He ruined my life , so I wish to show him how . . . Displeased I am . However long that will take . " Once again , the mage grew nervous . Taliyah looked away from Garen , quite displeased with herself , before noticing how busy the street started to get . People of all ages , rushing to who knows where .
" You . . . Said you used to guard the prince ? At least one of my guesses were right . " Taliyah refused to look back up at the other . Those shackles might just go right back on her wrists . . . At that thought , she started to rub her injury once more .

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 ! “
For a moment, he simply looked at her, perhaps she was thinking? She was not quite doing anything, but he didn’t really expect her to. For a moment, he pondered if she would simply run off in terror due to that, or now that she is no longer being held captive, would not wish to push her luck with remaining with the Crownguard himself. But he was patient, and a small smile rested upon his lips.
After all… Few could do that. What he did was, effectively, crush stone. While petricite was not quite simple, as it was often poorly crafted when it was smaller items, they were sturdy enough that it took a decent amount of force, such as a hard strike of a hammer, to break it. He simply knew his limits and his capabilities… And he pushed them very, very precisely.
“I fight with a claymore most of the time, but I am capable of hand-to-hand combat if my weapon is not available.” He explain briefly–It was not exactly classified information, so there was no reason to withhold it. Even the people of Demacia would speak of him and his capabilities, while most of the time they exaggerated rather severely, it did not mean some of the gossip held at least a nugget of truth to it.
“And, well, you’d be incorrect. My initial duty was to protect Jarvan Lightshield the Fourth as his personal guardian and protector, but as things have… Changed, I no longer reserve my talents simply for my Prince, but for military combat and many other warfare needs. It certainly made me a more… Ideal candidate due to my family’s ties to the Lightshields. First General Garen Crownguard, at your service.” He offered a small, polite bow towards her.
“Taliyah, then…? You may call me Garen, then.” He cleared his throat, trying to lighten the mood–if she was not stressed, there would be no reason for her trailing sentences, right? “Why would a Shuriman woman such as yourself visit Demacia?”
"i could hold a knife up to your throat and you'd beg for me to cut you. a spoon is nothing"
" What happens in the bedroom stays in the bedroom . "
Acidic taste . . . And aesthetics . Was that all it took to win him over ? It made the young woman smile a bit at how ridiculous it was . Was that the same reason he likes pomegranate juice ?
" Really ? It sounds interesting . . . Is that the same reason you like pomegranate juice , sire ? "
Of course , she asked . It was a good thing to learn about those above you , correct ? At least he was kind enough to not suck her blood . Wait , no , he's not a vampire —
Gosh , even his words were elegant . It's fine to feel intimidated , right ? Doesn't matter . Either way , Taliyah is staring at him with amazement . The gaze was short lived , though , glancing away for courtesy(and whatever image she had left) .
" The only thing I've tried was Ionian green tea . What makes fine Noxian wine different from fine Ionian wine ? "
If Taliyah was a cat , curiosity would have killed her years ago .
