About a month since their department from Bandle, Ron and Jaslene arrived in Piltover. Burdened from the journey and cranked up from sleeping on the floor, Ron waited impatiently as the ship entered the dock. Above him loomed the great city of Piltover. He was dying for a normal bed and excited to study in the academy of his dreams. He wasn't sure if he was elated or gassy, probably somewhere in-between, but he was amazed by Piltover itself. The city was a marvel to look at.
Jaslene looks at Ron, who's just standing around seemingly marveled by the city. Rolling her eyes, she somewhat harshly smacks him on the back with an open hand.
Oi, you gonna just sit there with yer mouth open until something makes a nest in there, or are ya actually gonna do something? Sure, Piltover looks nice and all, but don't get all dazzled by it before ya get to see what it's like inside the place.
She grabs her bags and waits for the ship to be fully docked, before making her way to the pier. She looks up at the city above, shrugging as she stands on the pier waiting. Sure, it was pretty impressive, but she'd learned long ago that impressive looks don't mean impressive results. It's what inside that counts, not how fancy your stuff looks.
"Ouch!" He said while he rubbed the back of his head. Jaslene was pretty strong. "Why did you do that for?" He said, picking up his bags and following close by after Jsalene.
When they reached down to the pier he started talking again. "Oh ground, I love ground. I'm so happy this ride is over. And so is my stomach. If I hadn't gotten ingredients I'd be sick in bed that whole month!" He then stood on the road looking for a passage to Piltover as the city was quite far from the pier. Problem was though, that the vehicles were so different. Back in Bandle City they had carriages and community transports. Here there were rows of Hexcars. Who the hell is he supposed to ask for a ride?
Why? Because you were lookin' like you were gonna just sit there looking at the city until the boat leaves back for Bandle. Someone had to wake ya up Ron.
Jaslene smiles at Ron for a moment before turning to look at the city. A fair bit of travel to go on foot, but she wouldn't honestly mind walking after sitting on a boat for a month. And those mechanical carriages the Piltovians had built for themselves didn't look too relaible to her.
So, wanna stretch yer legs with a walk to the city, or wanna be lazy and take a ride from somewhere 'round here?
"Oh c'mon... Fine. Let's get going then." He said, picking a path to Piltover. It was at least two kilometers away. He started making his way towards the City of Progress, keeping to the side of the road to not get run over by Hexcarts. A small summer breeze ruffled his hair and made his remaining nausea drift away. He smiled at Jaslene as a thought went in his head. "How good would I look in a lab coat? Eh? Eh?"
I think it'd fit ya, you were always like a mad scientist with all yer drink mixes and bottles behind that counter anyway.
Jaslene winks and laughs a bit as she walks along Ron, carrying her bags and mechanical box without much of a problem. The City of Progress. The place where they invent and use only the newest inventions around. While it'd be interesting to see what they can do with their futuristic parts, it'd be fun to see if she could bring 'em back to earth from their high and mighty city with a show of what old tech could do.
Maybe I should see what I'd look like in one of the outfits of the famous academy eh? It'd be odd, me lookin' like a student or a bookworm...
Ron laughed too. Jaslene would look strange in it he thought. After a minute of silent pondering he looked at her and smiled. "Oh that won't fit you. White shirt and overalls is what you look best with! He told her laughing to himself.
After a couple more minutes of walking he talked again with a start. "Hey, Jaslene?" He asked.
Ha, it's a freakin' miracle any of my shirts are white still. Maybe mom's got some laundry magic goin' on, with how much grime she gets off of my stuff, huh?
When Ron turned to her again, Jaslene merely looked at him with an eyebrow raised and her usual confident grin on her face.
What's on your mind Ron?
She takes a look around quickly. It was going to take a while to get to the city itself. Hopefully Ron hadn't let himself go so badly, always sitting behind the counter at the bar or creating those mixtures, that he wouldn't be able to finish a little walk.
"I just wanted to say that I'm glad that you went with me on this journey. You're a good friend." He said with a big smile on his face. He really did mean it though. However, the road up to Piltover did start to weight over him a bit but he tried to keep pace, silently. They'd be at least 30 minutes before they get to Piltover itself. And then there were the elevators up.
Hey, what're friends for Ron? B'sides, I've been thinking of visiting Piltover myself... even if to just see the differences in how they do their tech.
Jaslene looks forward again. Was Ron getting tired already? That'd be amusing to follow if it was so... maybe she should volunteer to take some of his luggage to carry as well, she was the physically fit one after all.
Maybe I can also see if Rumble's pulling stuff outta his ass with all that mumbojumbo about "selling out to the humans".
"I don't really know anything about 'selling out'. From what I gather, yordles and humans work together in Piltover as equals. Well... At least I hope so." He said, a bad memory of one of his regular nightmares appeared in his mind and he waved it off quickly. His mind started thinking about it and he was so deep in thought that he wasn't paying attention to that lightpost until he bumped into it. "Oooow!.. I did it again, didn't I?" He asked Jaslene, referring to his usual way of getting lost in thought.
Jaslene looks at Ron for a moment silently beforing bursting into laughter. After a few seconds, she manages to calm herself though, shaking her head a bit.
Yeah, ya sure did. At this rate, you'll have a skull thick enough to break whatever ya run into you know.
She smiles at Ron warmly, nodding to the side as a suggestion to keep moving. After all, staying put merely meant Ron got to a place where getting lost in thought wouldn't mean running into a wall.
Let's get ya into a chair or something fast, then ya can think about whatever you were thinking about all you want without breaking yourself, 'kay?
It's an academy Ron, not a "house of geniuses". You go there to learn, that's why they got professors, isn't that right?
Jaslene keeps walking, glancing back now and then to see if Ron is keeping up.
Well, it ain't too far away... but there's still gonna be a bit of walkin' to be done. Just keep thinkin' of all the things you can get for yourself up there in Piltover Ron, that should make the trip seem better.
She grins as she looks back at Ron.
Or if that don't help, think of the pretty girls at the academy who'll love a good bartender.
Ron kept walking behind her but started picking up his pace. He was a bit more focused now and thought about what will happen. He'd need to start researching in Alchemy soon and he also decided to learn medicine, both human and yordle...
"Hmm... I'd need someone to test the stuff I'll make y'know... Is being a test subject is on your bucket list?"
Then Jaslene mentioned the girls and it made Ron blush so hard, his nose too showed off a reddish hue. "I-I Umm... Well... Okay?" He said and kept walking silently for a while afterwards.
