Lee Sin nodded to Amaya. Her home is 'Ionia'... I see...
At that moment, The Blind Monk felt the tremble of a weapon suddenly hitting the ground out nowhere, as Suk used it to vault himself forward to save what appeared to be the yordle falling from the tree. When the Glaive disappeared again, he turned to face Suk once more, stepping the ground to read where his location was again. What was that?
To control what felt like such a powerful weapon certainly impressed Lee Sin. Though he could not see, he was in awe from the display. He heard nothing from nobody else, assuming that everyone else was as equally impressed by the magic and silenced by the grace of the glaive.
"Quite a display you've put on, friend," Lee Sin laughed heartily "You're no regular traveller, are you Suk?"

The situation unfolded almost too sudden and too soon. Perhaps comparable to a volatile stack of dynamites under the danger of constant gunfire. With numerous familiar figureheads on the scene, matters have became overly complicated and difficult to handle, alongside several champions like himself, Zed among them.
Not necessarily threatening, but chaotic and frankly uncontrollable with Ahri in the stockpile. Zed would not start anything in this scenario, but just to be safe. He slowly relocated himself to a slightly more guarding position and thought of words to speak.
That was, until he heard a metallic noise banging against the floor, from an altitude, not the sound of a razor blade, which indicts... Shen witnessed an event occur before him. It appears that it was a false alarm... Also the explanation of someone's somewhat unusual behavior beforehand.
"Agreeable on that aspect and more, indeed." He acknowledged the remarks of the blind monk before him and continued to spoke, perhaps not as a way to cleanse the tense atmosphere, but simply assessing the situation at hand.
"You have attracted quite a gathering, young lady. Might I assume that it was not your original intention and that we should depart and to cause you no further... Disturbance?" Through she did not look uncomfortable with such a crowd, but balance in such cases, can be tipped and quite easily so. However, it might also be his alertness whenever Zed is involved.
His eyes stared into those green pupils of hers, not solid in shape.
Blind eyes remained lost on the scenery, seeming to study it despite not being able to view it like normal people would. Her smile was pleasant as she listened to the sounds around her; the interactions and the light chatter. When she was addressed specifically, one of her droopy ears perked, turning towards Shen to speak directly to him.
Her upper body bowed respectfully towards him, "I am pleased with the gathering. There is no need to rush away as long as we remain respectful to one another." Hinting at the tension she sensed between Zed and Shen. "You are Master Shen, correct?" She inquired, wanting to make sure that he was in fact the person she thought he was. She can't confirm by sight, after all.
Her ear twitched towards Suk and Teo with her head turning slightly to listen to the words from the Blind Monk, deciding to allow them to handle the situation at hand while she spoke to the others present.
After the vaulting to Teo and grabbing hold of him, he looked around. Faces of shock resembled the audience, as his jaw slightly dropped. He was going to say something, but he couldn't. The reaction he would've expected. Even they treat me like a freak... He thought. Double standards admittedly, but still. He looked back down to the little yordle who held onto him for safety. His tail slowly creeping out from under the robes to help him keep balance, as the scaly appendage flowed from left to right.
"Your... Your welcome. Here, hold on." He said, doing his best to pick up the yordle and hold him with an arm. Once done, he crouched down while grabbing hold of the branch, swinging down to get closer to the ground. Again, his hood came down as he let out a small curse to himself in his thought. Oh what was the point anymore. They saw his face, and now he'll just have to deal with their reactions.
He looked back at the sound of a rather impressed voice, turning curiously as a brow rose. Obviously Lee Sin was awed by his skills, and even caught Amaya's attention, if only for a few minutes. He set Teo down on the ground, looking away a bit timidly. "I... Um... Thank you??" He said, hunched slightly. He wasn't sure if things were getting bad to worse. First, people saw him, then MORE people came, then they saw his FACE, but now the wise monk was praising him? I mean yea sure he IS blind... But maybe this wouldn't be that bad. His posture slouched slightly. "I mean... Well... N-No, I'm not some regular traveler." Well his face was a good giveaway to that. He walked past him, letting out a low "excuse me" so that he could retrieve his violin case near the vixen. He didn't even say a word to her, nor look at her. He was a bit embarrassed after the look of shock on her face.
He walked back to the monk. "I know you're blind, but I know your senses are extended. Can... Can you see all of this?" He asked, gesturing to his face, his tail even brushing along the ground to see if he would be able to get anything out of it.

"I saw enough to know you did not hesitate to rush to that Yordle's aid. You've demonstrated so far decisive courage and kindness. As for physical appearance? Well, touch is always a better indicator for me, stomping the ground just can't get the finer details." Lee Sin uncrossed his arms, raising a hand slightly into the air in the direction of Suk, "May I?"

"Master perhaps would be consider exaggerated, for I am but one of many keeping the delicate balance in check." Shen slowly moved his heads in opposite directions. There won't any reasons to insist upon a departure should she not wishes it to be.
She does appear to be somewhat familiar in accordance to his recollections, for if his memory serves him correctly, then the girl before is the one that remained behind after their successful raid on a Zaunite lab. But he did not recall that petite figure to be a blind one.
"But nevertheless, let my pleasure be known in making your... Acquaintance." Shen gave the girl before him a slight bow, perhaps the sense of motion would give enough of an image.
There would be no reason to extend an invitation to one who contains soul within their instruments, the next Festival of Fire despite of it's lateness, have been announced by the Elders to be held next week. Music and stage plays are but of the normal routine to the occasion and people are required for that occasion. The upsetting of tradition wouldn't be in the Kinkou's interest, for their presence within the festival is but common through as such, that also meant a share of the burden.
An announcement would have to made as it seems, for there have been no greater gathering of rhythm in the past few weeks and responsibility dictates the gathering of individuals, Shen would increase his volume as he begun to spoke, so as to remain at an audible level.
"Perhaps a subject that not seems pertinent to the current scenario, but in relation to what the Elders have spoken of days ago, the festival of fire is at hand and the lack of musical talents do make this gathering here beneficial to the hosting of the event that is soon to be held and as such, the Kinkou with regards to the Ionian government is hereby extending an invitation to all musicians,champions, visitors and citizens that were gathered here today to the annual event of the festival of fire."
Once on the ground again, Teo crouches down a little, blushing from embarrassment. All of these people had just seen what happened and now he must seem like a total fool. Luckily their focus seems to be on the lizard man. The little yordle attempts to use this as an opportunity, slowly scuttling backwards into the brush where he wouldn't be seen. Once he feels he is out of sight, the young bard lets out a soft, depressing sigh and covers his eyes. Not only would he not be able to learn about the girl's musical origins, but now he is lost and his master must be worried sick about him.
Suk listened to the monk talk, unsure if he should be thankful or maybe upset. Well sure, it was probably good that something went unnoticed. I mean... Perhaps it was best Lee Sin didn't know in his opinion. Ignorance is bliss as they say. Yet, to gain acknowledgement from the Blind Monk would be an accomplishment he would not have expected along his travels, but might be willing to accept it... But at what cost? What if others were to find out? The humans... The warriors and hunters...
He looked back to Lee Sin, a shy look on his face as he shook his head. "I believe I will have to respectfully decline." He mumbled, a bit embarrassed about the situation. Though while he was talking, he did hear the sound of Shen's voice, an invitation to all music players to play their music at the Festival of Fire. Should he? No, he shouldn't. What if he got reactions like these while over there? Shock, or horror, or even worse... Anger. He stayed quiet, not looking to the azure ninja, pretending he didn't hear him.

The Blind Monk nodded in respect to Suk, putting his hand down. Turning his attention to Shen, he smiled at the thought of attending a festival. "You can expect me to be there, Shen. It's been far too long since I have last been in Ionia for the Festival of Fire." It had been quite some time since he had last attended an event. Lee Sin estimated that he would reach his Monastery within the next few weeks if he continued to travel by foot. He hoped he could get there to talk with his newest pupil and attend the festivities at the same time.
Lee Sin spoke up, "My new acquaintances, it is well-met to have all come across you. I thank you especially Amaya, for the wonderful melody. I hope I can see you all again soon; I make my way back to the Shojin Monastery, I welcome any of you to come visit." he smiled, before turning on his heel to begin the walk back to the main path.
