Shyvana raised an eyebrow as she swallowed the rather large chunk of steak she tore from her meal. "There is not much to tell..." Shyvana replied, furrowing her brows slightly. "As you know, Half-Dragons are seen as impure by full blooded ones. My father and I were on a constant run... my mother was left behind, I did not know her all too well..." Shyvana sighed. "My father left her because he feared for her own safety." Shyvana simply took another sip of wine. "One cruel dragon finally caught my father, and slayed him. I tracked down the beast... and encountered Prince Jaravan and his forces on the same trail. Jarvana offered his aid, and together, we were able to kill the beast... I ripped it's heart from it's chest." Shyvana took another sip of wine and bite of steak.

Tahlem slowly ate his steak and drank wine while listening to her tail. Remaining impassive all the while, mostly just thinking about it and connecting with what he already knew. "Jarvan spoke of you on his return, most did not want you here." He took a sip of wine. "In the end when we gathered a council and it was voted for you to stay."
He took a quick glance around the room then back to Shyvana. " Most in this room were against keeping you around i must say..and the fear spread." He sighed. " A few of us, of course, have been trying to dispel these rumors. Demacian is as much your home as it is to us."
He took another piece of steak into his mouth. " Your parents loved each other and that should of been allowed..by dragons and humans. For myself i don't understand why different races hate each other. Rumors or hatred passed down from generations. Opinion should be based on personal experience, then, i understand." He frowned. " My hatred of Noxus is from experience...for one."
When he brought Noxus up he shook his head. " Am sure war is coming. The void in the mountains, Noxus pulling from the league." He sighed. " Results in me sending many Demacians to die, and their loved ones always blame who gave the order...It gets to me sometimes. I even remember most of their names and if i don't sometimes the family makes me." He refilled his wine and hers, taking another sip. " I have been in many wars, its what i know. But my dreams don't get any better," He shook his head.
"What about you. Do you think war is on the air? And not just with the void...with Noxus."
Shyvana sipped her wine and sighed, listening to his own story. After he finished, Shyvana narrowed her golden eyes slightly. "I do." She replied. "Noxus won't stop until Demacia is burned to the ground... so I say we burn them first." Shyvana added, taking another bite of steak.
She couldn't really relate to the man on terms of giving orders... but she could relate to him on terms of being a soldier.

He chuckled. " Quite the truth. Though we can not just attack them...we still abide by the League." He took another bite of his steak, finishing it off and sipping the wine. " We can only form alliances and build the military until they make a move...i hope its not to late."
He sighed. " What about the void? You have had first hand experience with some of their...denizens. What is your opinion about them? Though i should also inform you that you are tasked to go to the Freljord soon- Kings orders."
"They are foolish monsters.." Shyvana replied, swallowing her steak. "And I am aware." Shyvana then took another bite of steak... which was her last, seeing as it was all gone now.

He finished the wine glass and swiped it off to the side, the bottle clearly being empty now. " Surely they will not be THAT easy to defeat. I mean..when a creature that large can hide in a tiny bush it must have some intelligence?" He joked, taking a look at the table. It appears they were both finished and could leave at any time. Tahlem took a great deal of coin from his pocket and placed it on the middle of the table. Having been here many times...he was quite farmiler with the prices. They could leave any time.
The place was almost empty by now, most the nobles up and left back to their manors and the employees were beginning to start closing down. Albeit casting glances at the two still here.

Shyvana looked around, everyone seemed gone, or about to leave, and they were both finished. She then watched him pull a bag of coins out and sit them on the table, looking at him and raising a brow. She could have paid for it... she had coin, but he was probably trying to be a... gentlemen. Shyvana then simply stood, scanning the area once more with her golden eyes.

He watched her stand up and nodded when she suggested leaving. " About that time eh?" And he stood up and pushed his chair in, then walked out with her at his side. The men still inside began cleaning their table and their waitress pocketed the coin. They were quite glad that they finally left...and begin talking about it with each other.
Outside the night had taken ah old of the streets. Solitary guards and fleet footing beggars took to the lonely roads. The undesirables of Demacia beginning their nightly prowls of the streets. Tahlem turned to Shyvana and smiled brightly, settling his green eyes on her. "The night is serene eh?... Let us get you home."He spoke sincerely and sort of like a plea to spend a longer moment with her. Maybe a made a great impression? Only one could hope. And he started walking in the direction of her home, staying quite close to her. Aside from the nobles and waiters....it was a pretty good night he though. Well. A good evening.

Shyvana simply raised another brow as he wished to walk her home... Shyvana could take care of herself, easily. But, she had no reason to turn him down. Shyvana simply allowed him to do as such. The night wasn't too terrible, the man had defended her... for whatever reason. Shyvana didn't fully understand it, but it was not unwelcome. Once the two had made it to her home, Shyvana turned to the man, furrowing her brows.
"I suppose I should thank you." Shyvana simply replied... and with that, she leaned forward and kissed his cheek. The act was very unusual for the Half-Dragon, and she was entirely new to it; however, she saw many women properly thank males for taking them out... and she seemed it to be appropriate, thinking it no more than a "thank you."

The walk was fantastic, the night being perfect. General conversation is all that prevailed and he smiled when they reached her home. Though he was not prepared for her to kiss him on the cheek and his mind raced like the wind. It was not unwelcome, it was more..shocking. He had not expected to have done anything right even after advice from his friend. Though he wa squite unsure of how to respond with words. How should he respond? Blast what did Jarvan say....suppose its better to improvise and be...unexpected. Well thats what one of the men in his military said once.
In response he embraced her in a hug, returning his own kiss...though not to her cheek. He had given her a quick kiss on the lips to bring the night to a lovely end.
Or so he thought....

Shyvana raised an eyebrow as the man looked shocked... she figured all humans were accustom to this. Her curiousness quickly turned to surprise when she was pulled into an embrace, and then felt the softness of his lips on her for a brief moment. Shyvana looked up at him, her eyes widened slightly before she pulled away... not in anger. She didn't know what to say... she furrowed her brows... trying to think of words to say.
Finally, she spoke. "Thank you for the meal..." Shyvana turned and opened her door. "And for treating me like... a normal person." And with that, she stepped in and closed the door behind her.

When she pulled away he could not hide the blush, it was quite prevalent on his cheeks.. He bowed when she thanked him but was surprised at how quick she went inside. Perhaps she needed time to think then. That was alright...a kiss was all he needed to smile the whole way home. He felt..different. The desire to see her again was almost overwhelming.
He looked around and then at the moon. It was a beautiful night....one where a man does not want to sleep but watch the stars dance. He walked down her steps and out the gate, feeling a bit alone without her at his side...she may be sent off to the Freljord before he can speak another word. He began his trip back to his estate, the streets feeling solemn and calm.
But he will be here..on her return.
That he was sure.
