Tempting fate .
That was a term many people used while describing Taliyah . Reckless to save others , always jumping into life or death situations . But this ? It wasn't one of those scenes .
The woman looked up from her sandwich , eyeing Rakan suspiciously . " I have . . . Why the sudden question , Birdie ? "
While she spoke , Taliyah's legs dangled off the side of a rather large cliff . . . . Okay , so maybe they're tempting fate by having a picnic there , but Rakan was the one to pick it out !
" If the strawberries are poisoned , I will kick you . "
taliyah: *holding a slightly creamy colored rock* this rock is mine. there are many like it, but this one is MINE.
*azir and taliyah stare at each other*
taliyah: *smacking azir across the face with said rock* BONK
@iixesha started ♡ " i miss more how it used to be than i thought i would, "
Taliyah doesn't know much about her traveling partner . He hardly ever spoke , after all ! When Ekko did , his low , rough voice was oh so hard to hear . But now , with the crackling of the fire , she could finally hear .
What he had to say , however , quickly removed what joy Taliyah had found .
How it used to be ? What did the sand guardian mean ? The Shuriman's chocolate eyes studied her companion , a hand reaching for his own .
" Change . . . Is inevitable . All we can do is chug along . Hopefully , someday , it will all be peaceful once more . " If one isn't able to tell , Taliyah is just spitting out what was in her mind . The days of her playing with the other kids in her tribe were long gone now , leaving uncertainty in her heart as the weight of growing up was set upon her shoulders .
" We can go through this together . R-Right ? "
feel free to change words and pronouns as needed.
“Oh, hey, you’re that singer no one listens to.”
“Oh, hey, you’re the asshole no one likes.”
“I’m not shopping at this store. I’m robbing this store.”
“Psychologically speaking, vengeance rarely brings the catharsis we hope for.”
“Unless we all want to die very unpleasant deaths, we’re going to have to work together.”
“What the hell is up with this bow and arrow shit?”
“I love this chick. She’s got rage issues.”
“Your protection is based on the fact that people are scared of you.”
“You made me want to be a less terrible person.”
“If you want boys to respect you, show them you’re serious.”
“Nothing gets a guy’s attention like violence.”
“I underestimated you and I’m sorry.”
“I’m used to it.”
“I’m sorry, (name), I’m just a terrible person I guess.”
“So… we broke up.”
“She stole my fucking car!”
“That is childhood trauma right there.”
“Fine. But if you try to run, I will kill you.”
“I’m not proud of what I did.”
“I had to find a new identity. A new me. It wasn’t easy.”
“I guess all good things have to come to an end.”
“So, we broke up. I handled it real mature.”
“The inflection in your voice, the way you can’t hold eye contact, and the fact that you’re a filthy little thief, all suggest that you do.”
“Well, sounds like a dick.”
“You’re so tiresome! If you want my mercy, shut that hole in the middle of your face and listen.”
“(Name) is gone, but it’s just a matter of time before some other asshole tries to finish what he started.”
“You’re a filthy fucking rat.”
“That’s why he needs me to look out for him. That’s why he needs me to take care of him.”
“Still a work in progress.”
" Just . . . Just die , I guess . What else am I supposed to do ? I'm 4'9 and he's 6'10 . I guess I could try to reason with him , but . . . " Taliyah paused . She looked at her long sleeves , rocks weighing them down , then back at anon .
" My sleeves . I could choke him if I get on him . . . I'd probably still suffer from injuries though . But . . . Garen and I are friends . Kinda hard to kill a friend . "
Just gonna casually say that there's an au I wanna add to my list
Last Hit, aka a punk rock band.
Taliyah is the bassist and vocalist, Ekko is the lead guitarist and a vocalist, Kayn is the other guitarist, and Sett is the drummer
Just enjoy that
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 . "
"Why the hell does Kitai's cake taste like soap??"
" It does ? Maybe it's because of that one weird liquid I found . . . "
