He couldn’t help but sigh a little, smiling at her own stuttering and stumbling over her own words. She was truly doing her best, he knew this much, but many foreigners were wise enough to not go to Demacia when magic flowed through their veins.
Or, at least, they had the guts to risk it. For a moment, he idly wondered which it could’ve been, but seeing her face… how could he doubt? Her expression was so… innocent. Something he has not seen in a long, long time…
“Well, then let’s not worry about that for now.” He reassured, that same, gentle smile keeping itself upon his face. “You needn’t fuss too much, I’ll ensure you’re in a good state before I’ll leave your company. I can only imagine your… confusion, a harsh welcome like that in a new land is going to leave you a little frazzled.”
He gently pushed her hand back down. “Don’t worry about that for now. As for the time being, I’ll pay for your current expenses. It is… the least i can do, to apologize for your treatment.” He reassured. “… I, uh… yes. We are quite differently sized, after all.”
… Awkward was an understatement. Why would she point out such a trivial thing?
“Instead of dealing with that… how about we go get something to eat? I’m off duty by now, regardless… It’ll be my treat.”
Taliyah couldn’t help but let out a sigh . Her hazel eyes examined his face for a moment . He looked kind . Very kind . Does she deserve this ? There wasn’t a reason she should turn down his offer , so . . .
“ Thank you , Garen . Say , what are some foods you eat here ? Shuriman meals are different - even the cities Noxus controls in Shurima are unique to both countries . Kinda like a blend of both countries ! “
Ah , there she goes , ranting about whatever her mind thought about . Innocence . That’s what Garen calls it , right ? It’s more like ignorance . If ignorance is bliss , she’s on a dangerous level of bliss . The amount good in the world she sees is but a figment of her imagination . To be like this comes with a price .
Hers just happen to be ptsd .
Was Taliyah too trusting ? Was this too soon ? Her smile slowly fell , thoughts running wild . Last time she trusted people this quickly . . . That wasn’t fun .
“ A-Are you sure you don’t want me to help pay ? I have a decent amount in my bag , “ The freckled girl mumbled . She forced a nervous smile , hand reaching up to tuck a lock of hair behind her pierced ear . “ I’m sorry for acting weird , “ She apologized quickly .
