March 28th, 23 CLE ---------------------------------
The reception hall was as quiet as usual; which is to say, moderately busy. Other summoners bustled about; champions came and went attending to their own business. This, of course, was perfectly fine for Nova who found it much easier to do things when everyone was already preoccupied.
The scrawny summoner was busy putting up some fliers around the reception hall. They read:
ATTENTION! SUMMONER SEEKING ROOM MATE
Quiet summoner seeking temporary board for the month of April. Slightly messy, but mostly unobtrusive. Is prepared to offer services in return for assistance. For more information or to express interest, wait here between the hours of 3pm and 5pm, or contact Miss Nova Vespera directly.
She didn't have any real contact information. Her permanent residence was in Ionia; a hassle for most of the Champions (and summoners with at least semi-permanent residence she assumed) to reach. There was a mail system, of course, but she hardly checked it. If there was anything she was, however, it was punctual; she certainly intended to be here during the specified hours.

March 28th, 23 CLE, 3:02 PM
With his briefcase hanging at his side, Ethan strode through the reception hall of the Institute. The assorted fliers on the wall caught his attention, his foot falls angling to bring him to one. He was unused to seeing advertisements strewn about. He reached out and plucked one from the wall, scanning over its contents quickly.
His gaze drifted to the large hextech clock hanging on the wall. 3:02 PM. He glanced around until he spotted the referenced woman on the paper in his hand, approaching her and holding up the slip of paper.
"You're Miss Nova Vespera, correct? You're looking for a place to stay, I hear." Ethan nodded in greeting and slipped the paper under his arm, holding out his freed hand to shake. "Ethan Ramseyt. Steward Summoner."

Ezreal walked down the reception hall, running his hand subconsciously through his golden blonde hair. He was called down to the institute again at random, only for it to be a mistake. He sighed as he walked, his mind still on the dig site he had been pulled from back in the Shurima Desert. He could still feel the sand between his fingernails and the adrenaline of a good find racing through his system. Without watching where he walked, Ezreal bumped headfirst into what seemed to have been a person. "Oh! I'm sorry my bad..." Ezreal glanced up to see the surprised and slightly confused face of a boy around his own age, the boys hand outstretched in offer to a young girl. "My apologies again to you both." He stopped right between them and looked around as if lost. "Do either of you know the time? I'm afraid I was a little out of it when I was called here." He glanced at the nervous looking girl now pressed anxiously against the wall.

Nova opened her mouth to respond but found nothing. She closed it and smiled, shaking down her sleeve in order to return Ethan's gesture; only of course, for Ezreal to stumble into him. Greatful for the distraction, she spoke up.
"It's just after three, Ezreal." She smiled, turning back to Ethan and taking his hand. "A pleasure to meet you mister Ramsyet. Forgive me, I'm just a bit excited to meet another Steward." She tensed.
"I...I mean. I applied a few days ago. I'm not a Steward. Yet, of course. I'm hoping for the best." She chuckled, partially to give a sense of confidence, partially to stop herself from rambling. "I was looking for a room though, you're right. Did you happen to know someone with space?"
Ezreal looked from Ethan to Nova. "Oh another steward? Awesome! Always fun to see new faces around here!" He didn't even seem to realize he was butting into their conversation. How typical of him. "Ethan! By the way, how are you? Works good yes?" Lately Ezreal found himself being summoned a lot more often, so he was trying to make himself acquainted with everyone here, steward, summoner, and champion alike. Unfortunately for Ethan and Nova, the ridiculous boy kept talking without waiting for an answer.
Luckily he paused for a breath in between barely consistent ramblings just long enough to realize his intrusion.
"Oh! Wait you must have been talking about something huh? My bad again!" He smiled, let out an embarrassed laugh, and cocked his head, rubbing the back of it with one hand. Ezreal tilted his head away from them, "Get a grip on yourself geez." He mumbled to himself.

"I have been well, Ezreal." Ethan replied, giving a quick nod in confirmation. "People have stopped asking me for your autograph also, something I'm very glad for. You might be surprised how many of my female co-workers see messy blonde hair and blue eyes and think of you." His jest was followed by a quick chuckle, before he reached out to give the other boy a clap on the shoulder.
His attentions shifted back to the soon-to-be-Steward, contemplating for a moment. "I am given quarters by the Institute that are too large for me. There is ample free space, and as you are awaiting appraisal by the Stewards for your potential acceptance, I extend an invitation for you to make use of the excess space my portion of the dormitories possesses." He paused a moment before adding, almost as an afterthought. "Mind you, I do not offer this as a way to assure your acceptance. Though, if you end up not making the position, I would not ask you to leave."
"What say you, Ms. Vespera?"

"That would be wonderful, actually." Nova smiled broadly. "This is all very kind of you Mister Ramsyet. I don't expect any special treatment in the steward business; if I make it or not it will be of my own mettle." The summoner could barely contain her excitement. She would have a place to stay; and with a steward no less. Even if she didn't make it in she could get to know one of them and better herself.
Nova remembered something. "Oh! Of course, there are a few things I should mention. I've stayed with a few summoners before; shuffling here and there depending on what sort of space was available. Most decided after a month or so it was best I found other living situations. I never understood why, of course. It wasn't as though I was around far too often. I'm not loud, I don't have too many close friends in the institute..." She shied away for a moment at that statement, but continued speaking. "I'm not messy, I don't think...but a little cluttery. And," she looked back at Ethan once more. "I'm...rambling aren't I."
Ezreal shrugged and smiled wide. "Oh geez, those girls really don't know when to quit huh?" He laughed, but stopped abruptly, as if thinking of something else. A slight frown crept onto his face, but as soon as it appeared it was gone.
Ezreal had hung around to listen to their conversation, partially because he was interested and partially because he was lonely and, frankly, quite bored. As he listened to Nova ramble his smile grew wider and wider, until he couldn't hold back anymore. No sooner had Nova caught herself and stopped did Ezreal shout out his "brilliant idea". "Boy oh boy Nova you sure are friendly! And speak of friendly, that's a great idea! I've been bouncing back and forth between uncle Lyte's shop and Piltover with no real home for awhile now, and Ethan you say you have ample space right? You know what I say?" Ezreal grabbed Ethan and Nova's empty hands, "How 'bout we all live together? I've been looking for some fun, and this would be it! Right Ethan old buddy?" Ezreal looked at the two, his eyes shining with excitement and anticipation.
Nova and Ethan looked even more surprised than they had the first time.

"You wish to live with my as well? I suppose I have the space for the both of you, and if I shuffle some of the numbers around I can find the funding to find a third bed..." Ethan furrowed his brow and glanced off to the side in thought. In truth, he had no reason to decline, the only part of his room he actually used was his study. The master bedroom... What color were the walls again?.
A soft shrug before he responded with a quick. "Shall I give you a map to the room, or will you be able to find it without one, Ezreal?" A jest, as his quarters had his name on the door and was a fair bit larger than most of the other domiciles in the dormitories. A quick, disarming smile flashed across his features, to make it known that he was merely joking, before turning back to Nova.
"Do you require any assistance moving things?" He asks, checking the clock momentarily before looking between the two of them. "I have perhaps an hour before my duties will take me from you, if you would have me." He finished, looking to Nova, unsure if she too would accept Ezreal's suggestion as freely.

Nova looked silently back and forth between Ethan and Ezreal. She hadn't expected anyone to answer her request so soon. She certainly hadn't expected it to be a steward. She never would have guessed a champion would be joining them. Of course, there was also the fact that she would be staying with two men...She didn't know what to say.
Neither of them posed any threat of course; not immediately. Ezreal's aura was as yellow as his hair (one of the few colors Nova was familiar with) and Ethan's, while small, was a cool, unassuming blue...which she assumed must have been fine.
"This sounds wonderful. Unfortunately, I don't have any of my things with me. I wasn't expecting to get a response so quickly..." she chuckled, making light of the situation. "As for the bed, I think I could cover it. It's practical enough that the family won't mind me dipping into the funds for one. I would, though, like to get acquainted with the space...if you wouldn't mind something of a tour Summoner Ramsyet."
Ezreal chuckled at Ethan's joke, Ethan always seemed a bit formal even when he wasn't working, but his jokes were always entertaining. When the two seemed to take to his idea positively, Ezreal exhaled in relief. He knew people could quickly get weary of his overactive nature. He was also, to be honest, more than a little grateful. Ezreal hadn't actually been back to Piltover in a couple years. He had always loved the city, but never really felt as if he fit in. When uncle Lyte left for the Howling Abyss, it only gave him less of a reason to visit his home city. He didn't have any friends in general, much less friends in Piltover. Lately it had been wandering to the far corners of Runeterra, not necessarily searching for something, but trying to keep himself busy.
As Nova asked for a tour in the polite way she seemed to normally speak, Ezreal looked at Ethan for confirmation. "Yeah that's a dandy idea, I'd like to scout out the place too you know, know the environment." Ezreal winked at Ethan.
