Well , that wasn't expected . Taliyah blinked a bit before she responded .
" Well , I haven't had a drink for a while . Last time I did was with . . . General Swain ? " Ah , yes , drinks in Noxus . That was a long night , let me tell you that . The young adult smiled nervously , hands falling in her lap .
" The only problem is I get clingy . If you don't mind me holding your arm , then I see no issue . "

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 ! “
Taliyah got the hint . The curious girl took a step back , eyeing the Noxian cautiously . She was always a bit skeptical of Noxians ever since . . . The thing had happened . Nonetheless , she answered the question . " Taliyah . And . . . You are , sir ? " Taliyah's voice read her nervousness . Perhaps starting a conversation with someone she's yet to know is dangerous ?
Wait . . . What did he say ? That second word threw her off , but Taliyah pieced it together in her mind . Probably something that means not . . . With a small smile , Taliyah's hands fell in her lap .
" I'm sorry to hear that . But I guess I can use this as an excuse to brush up on my skills ! My name is Taliyah . " Her hazel eyes studied him for a moment before speaking again . " What's yours ? "
Continuation from x ☆ @moonguided
Taliyah's eyes glistened in curiosity while watching him respond . It took a second for her to realize what the man was saying , or rather , signing .
Back in her tribe , Taliyah was taught sign language . A young boy was born mute , and nobody was to be left behind . Truth be told , that was eight years ago — so Taliyah is definitely a bit rusty .
" Really ? I didn't know that there were berries like that there - ! " The Shuriman paused for a second , voice softer and words just a tad bit slower . " Are you mute or deaf ? Or is talking just not in style . "
hello! this is a new roleplay blog for Garen Crownguard from League Of Legends, coming back after a long hiatus from a different account.
please Like or Reblog if you’re interested in interacting so i can check out your blog!
Taliyah couldn't help but let the smile turn mischievous . Oh , it was always hilarious , being thought as nothing but a little girl . In reality , she fought a rogue ascended one at the age of 16 , with little proper training .
Defending herself was always fun , but Taliyah doesn't want to boast .
" Sett ? Hm . . . Reminds me of Seth . My name is Taliyah ! You're big . And fluffy . " Once again , the Shuriman eyed him . Not for the heck of it , but to study him . A moment or two later , Taliyah smiled , offering her hand . He got her trust . For now .
" It's nice to meet you . "

Noxian Taliyah should be illegal
She's so much fun to draw

Taliyah was curious . Always has been , always will be . And you know what always got her ? Suspicious notes , asking to see her in the graveyard past midnight . Ahri had warned Taliyah , but . . .
The young woman was already there . Standing at the gates of the cemetery , Tali heard something . The faintest chords of a guitar . Without a second thought , she took out her sword and cut the chains . That , along with the lock , fell onto the damp , foggy ground .
With a screech , the gate slowly opened , showing just how foggy it was . However , that's always the case in Aaa . The adventurer began to walk further into the nothingness , listening for the strum of a guitar . Without a doubt , it was Ekko .
With each quick step , the song became clearer and clearer . A voice soon joined in , and then there he was . The vampire king , floating mindlessly while strumming . . . Yet Taliyah did nothing to make her presence known . Instead , she sat on the headstone of someone long dead , chocolate eyes watching innocently .

" Oh God , does it have to be just ONE ? " A stone mage . Taliyah loved most rocks , because why was she supposed to hate them ? They looked gorgeous , they obeyed her commands , and they're always there for her . Rocks were like — her best friend !
Is that weird ? It's starting to sound weird .
The young woman put a finger to her lip in thought . " My favorite to look at . . . Would either be a fire opal , bismuth , or a rose quartz geode . My favorite to fight with is definitely any rock that would cause pain . I'm not picky ! "
