The Festival (Open RP)

Lee Sin frowned just as Irelia did, his time being blind made him quiet perceptive to feelings. He taught himself how to read someone as if they were a book, almost know their thoughts.

"Something troubles you Irelia, do you wish to speak of it?"Asked Lee Sin in a concerned voice.

With a bit of an unintentional fidget, uncomfortable already with the amount of explanation he needed to do, he nodded in greeting. His face yearned for the safety of his hood and the shadows it cast over his expression and especially over his eyes. He'd always seen a lot in the eyes of others, motives and intentions made much more clear just by the way their faces spoke without words and so he wished that he could simply deny others the chance to see such things in himself. Unfortunately, he was allowed any such mercies this time, his hesitation and confusion displayed clearly on his chocolate eyes.

With his arms taking a protective stance across his chest and his head inclined slightly, he gave his pursuer a more involved once over, checking her for weapons more than anything else. there was no way she would dare to attack him here, though he still found himself looking for small inconsistencies in her posture just in case he should need to defend himself. The knife in his boot almost burned against his leg, killer instinct flushing out most of his rational thought. It was only when it settled that he realized he felt threatened by Ahri's presence.

"Am I not welcome here, fox?" It was a simple question and it bore no malice, though it was spoken in his usual gruff voice. He had no intention of showing his hand, but would not lie if asked directly. All he could do was lead her stray of the question.

Twisted Fate was about to argue, but it seems Evelynn did not change since they dated. As she dragged him around mentioning something about having "fun". There were very few things Evelynn considered fun. However, considering how she waved down Ahri, who then left it became clear as to what "fun" she may have planned on, "Well Eve, Ah reckon' we just got blown off." He said before looking around at some of the festival games, "We can keep lookin' fer' others or stick round' here n' enjoy some games till Ahri comes back."

Ahri seemed to contemplate the man who stood before her, as she felt a strange and mysterious air surrounding him. This is what caught her attention and dragged her to him. She didn't want to know why he was here, it was the least of her worries and the most uninteresting thing to talk about. But, she wanted to know why she got pulled towards him by her feelings, the man seemed like any other at the first sight but if one could look and pay attention to him carefully, they would see that there was more beneath the surface.

She stared deeply into his eyes, piercing what we call the mirror of the soul as if she was looking for something, like a pirate would do when he's hunting his beloved treasure. She liked that feeling, she wanted to learn more, discover and witness those secrets that these lands hide. She nodded while revealing a seductive smile as she spoke in her soft, charming voice.

"Absolutely, you are always welcome just like everyone else my dear... But this isn't why I've followed you~"

She let out a soft giggle all the while placing her fingers on her soft and adorable lips that almost every man would like to taste.

"You don't seem like the other Noxians, you seem more mysterious and vague as well... Even though I've decoded a couple of things through your eyes~"

The sudden appearance of Shen disturbed Ahri's conversation, all her charm was ran over as the man stood there and started questioning Talon, in a such disrespectful way. She glared at him, irritation filled her eyes as her ears twitched around randomly and said in a calm tone, although her words seemed more like they were spat out at the intruder.

"Shen... Could you please leave us alone? There's no need to be worried about him for now."

Shen looked at Ahri. "First I would like to know why Talon of all people is in Ion-" His train of thought was stopped as it was interrupted by the soft squeeze of Lee Sin. He looked over at him, then back at Talon and Ahri.

... Perhaps what he was doing was wrong... Perhaps too caught up in League business that he mixed it up with recreation and relaxation? Maybe he really could socialize here instead of being so heavily focused on work and watching over the party goers. He looked back at Ahri as he gave her a small and apologetic bow to her. "Forgive me Ahri. I suppose... I let past business and national rivalry cloud my judgment." He said, as he soon gave the same bow to Lee Sin. Finally, he mustered up his will and swallowed his pride as he did the same to Talon. "Apologies Talon... I hope you enjoy your R&R as some would say." He said before walking away from the two. He walked around the shore of the beach, sitting down in an area by himself, as he could just the same. He gazed at the ocean and the waves moving onto the shore in front of him.

Talon waited as the flurry of motion happened around him, flinching to grab the only weapon on his person as Shen's voice popped up behind him but stayed his hand. He didn't want to cause a scene but apparently merely being here was enough to do so. His foot twitched under him to take a step toward leaving but when Ahri spoke to the Eye of Twilight, Talon froze. He didn't much care that she thought he was interesting, mysterious, vague, anything really, but the fact that she was actively attempting to keep him here was perplexing. The only person whomever seemed to want him anywhere close had been Marcus and his transformed daughter. Marcus he could understand, though the other not so much.

When Lee sin also stepped in, Talon's brow furrowed in confusion. The way the Blind Monk spoke it was as though he did not recognize the Noxian assassin he was urging to allow to remain at the festivities. Perhaps it was foolish, perhaps if Lee Sin did know whom he was attempting to assist, his tune would change, but still Talon spoke out. If anyone would be able to pick out Talon by his voice alone, it was most certainly the Blind Monk.

A quick breath inward, only to once more be left to wait to speak by Shen himself, swayed by Lee's words. It was almost irritating, being cut off. Still, Shen seemed to lose sight of whatever problem he held with the Noxian, which was a good thing. It had been a flare of annoyance and spite that brought words to Talon's tongue. Only in retrospect did he realize that his words would have done little but incense the ninja, prove him right.

Finally, after a moment of confused silence, Talon spoke, "I had always heard Ionians were open-minded. I suppose I was not lead astray in that." He hadn't meant the address for anyone in particular, simply watching the ninja head for the shoreline with his arms firmly shielding his chest.

His gaze now turned to Lee Sin, looking over his shoulder to give the Ionian champion a courtesy nod, though realized it was likely lost on the sightless man. One of the few mentions in Talon's life of the phrase 'Thank you' passed his lips to remedy the situation before he brought his focus back the fox in front of him, still actively oblivious to her physical attempts to persuade him.

The look he gave her spoke more than the words he could put to his question, asking her without words what exactly had brought her to him. What it was that intrigued her so much that she abandoned the party she was hosting just to speak to him.

Getting a bit bored about having to just sit alone, Fizz shrugs and hops down from the stool he's been sitting on. He goes around and grabs any meaty treats he can find before heading to the beach.

He throws all the bits and pieces into the water.
"FEEDING TIME CHOMPS!"

Chomper quickly jumps out of the water, catching all the bits and pieces in his mouth before crashing back to the ocean.

Fizz then takes a look around and notices Shen, pondering for a moment whether to bother him before deciding to do it out of boredom. He then walks over to the Eye of Twilight and sticks his trident to the sand.

"Heya Shen. Quite a nice lil' party ain't it?"
