"Carefully....
Carefully...."
The yordle's voice was laced with an uncharacteristic caution as he gently tipped a beaker filled with an unknown liquid over a glass containing a differently colored liquid. The liquid glided smoothly and slowly along the surface of the glass, a clear indication that he knew what he was doing.
A single drop was let loose into the liquid lying in wait below. And a single drop was all that was required to create an explosion with enough force to send Ziggs hurtling into the wall behind him, the heat from the thermochemical ignition having singed his visible fur but not the steel apron that he wore to protect his clothing from any damage.
"Ungh! That....didn't...go...as....planned....!"
The Hexplosives Expert had fashioned himself a workshop out of an abandoned garage in downtown Piltover, which was allowed to him out of courtesy by the city's officials due to the heroism he displayed in rescuing the Professors of the Yordle Academy of Science from the evil Zaunites. He had to admit that even though he could have very nearly died, he was glad he jumped at the chance to help out the same guys who had rejected him not long before they were abducted. Oh, the looks on their faces when he busted into that facility and wreaked havoc with his "hexplosives". He sure did prove them wrong about him, that was for sure!
The eclectic yordle gradually peeled himself off of the wall he had been pinned to, as he reminisced over those earlier days before he'd become a Champion. While before he had a hard time due to being a nobody, his status had blown him to heights that had put even his novice dreams to shame!
"Well, nobody ever said that stuff ever got done without trial and error! Let's try this again!"
And he was fired up and raring to go another round, not at all discouraged by his latest mistake.

The pattering of feet could be heard as the scout entered the garage, looking around at all of the strange machinery and chemicals situated about the room. He'd never really explored Piltover much, but he was almost positive this was the Dean's refuge.

"Huh? Is that-"
And yet another explosion rocked the workshop as Ziggs was sent hurtling back once again, this time he bounced off of the wall and landed face first in front of the Swift Scout. His fur was even more singed now than it was before, and even his apron seemed to have suffered a bit of damage with a rather noticeable scorch mark on it.
"Ungh! That wasn't too pleasant." He muttered as he pushed himself up from the floor and looked at Teemo with his wide grin intact. "Hiya, bro! What can I do for ya?" His spirit seemed to be unshaken despite the accident that had just occurred, and it was a miracle he wasn't dead yet.

Teemo stared at his fellow champion with a look of deep concern. He'd known that the Hexplosives Expert was a little off, but not this dangerous outside the fields.
"I was in town and wanted to drop by to say hi. We don't really see each other outside of the League so I thought maybe you'd enjoy some company. I'm not in any rush anyway."

Ziggs brushed himself off and went over to a rag he kept on a nearby counter top, using it to wipe down his apron and try his best to clean up his poor fur.
"Oh, well that's cool! I wasn't expecting any visitors, but then again you're the kinda Yordle to not be expected anyway!"
He chuckled in amusement to himself, throwing the rag on the counter after giving up on his fur. It would grow back and then he'd just trim off the singed bits.
"Oh, hey, since you're here in Piltover did ya wanna do something? We could could go bother the Sheriff, or even that Defender guy! Whatever you want, though, I'd be up for, bro."

Teemo tenses for a moment, seeming shocked at the question. His eyes darted around for a moment before he loosens up at shakes his head to clear his frantic mind.
"Uh, uh... go do something? Um, sure, yeah. Sounds... fun. Eheheh, a-any of those sound alright. Do you... uh, have any preferences? O-of what to do around here, that is."
This behavior was odd for the scout. He didn't often act this way, but for a moment his brain had comprehended the question in a slightly different way that had not been intended. He did his best to act normal, but it was still apparent that suddenly the scout was nervous about something, also notable by the slightly pink tint his furry face was taking.

Ziggs stared at Teemo for a moment before tilting his head to one side, his bemusement hidden by the Cheshire grin on his face.
"Well......Okay....Where do ya wanna go, then? It's totally up to you cuz I'll just go with the flow, as they say."
The Hexplosives Expert had no idea what was wrong with his fellow Yordle, though he preferred to assume it was a scout thing. Most things about Teemo were chalked up to the Scout's Code in one way or another.

Teemo rubs the back of his neck, eyes wandering as he thinks. His mind was still foggy, arguing about what the other yordle's intentions were about this trip. Eventually he shakes his head and clears his throat.
"I don't really know much about the city. Maybe we can just tour a little? I do have a map in case we get lost, I've just... well, I don't visit many of the city-states very often."
He does his best to give Ziggs a cheerful smile and act calm, though he's still biting his tongue with a flushed face under his fur. The scout only hoped that soon his strange actions would ease up.

"A rec center? I guess that sounds fun. I've never gone to one before... but then again, I don't really get out much. Gotta keep Bandle safe after all!"
He salutes Ziggs proudly, but then soon feels like he was acting stupid, for some reason, and lowers his hand slowly.
"Um... ready whenever you are Ziggs!"
Teemo gives a quick thumbs up, trying to hide how confused he was on the inside with a grin.
Tryndamere made his was to the explosive experts workshop. He had discovered something very interesting in one of the mountains of Freljord, but need a little help reaching the source. As he enter the shop he noticed his fellow champion Teemo and Ziggs talking so he decided to wait until they were finished.

"Alright, let's go!"
Ziggs nodded and grinned with great enthusiasm, going over to the corner of his workshop to retrieve a rather moderately sized sack. The Hexplosives Expert never went anywhere without a decent supply of his very own babies, though he was aware that he had a limit to how much he could cause in property damage with them by League standards. All that was contained within this sack that was about half his size were two dozen land mines, a dozen bouncing bombs, six satchel charges, and two dozen regular bombs. It didn't look like it, but the sack had been enchanted to be have a greater amount of space within that what the outside implied. You could never be too careful, even in the City of Progress.
Just as the pair were about to make their exit there was an unexpected visitor, at whom Ziggs stared in disbelief.
"Whoa! Hold the phone! What brings His Majesty here to my little garage full of explosive wonder?"
The erratic Yordle bowed in respect, something that Heimerdinger had always told him was to always give those of rank and status the proper address. Since the visitor was King Tryndamere, of all people, that demanded a courteous bow. Ziggs didn't like the formality, but he was expected to have SOME manners as a citizen of Piltover.

Teemo nods to Ziggs happily, turning around to see that Tryndamere had arrived. He hasn't had training where it comes to royalty before, but he was told to show respect and obedience to those above you. The only way he knows how is by standing at attention and saluting the king, but after a moment he notices Ziggs' actions and follows suit, his face flushing and causing his fur to turn a hint of red out of embarrassment.
Tryndamere looked at both yodel's. "Please no formalities I know both of your strength's from the fields." He looks at Teemo who was a bit red. "Especially you Teemo, your poison is nothing to laugh about." He then turns to the explosive expert. "I need some explosives." He thought for a second. "I need explosives that are precise, and they can't bring down the whole mountain on me. I didn't no where to go then I though of you Ziggs. Can you help me?"

Ziggs stared at the Freljordian in continued bewilderment for another long moment, before finally relenting and giving a nod of affirmation.
"Okay, then. I take that to mean ya want us to call you by your name, Tryndamere."
And then the barbarian king informed him of his need for some explosives, and the details given managed to make the zany yordle frown for once. The Hexplosives Expert was uncharacteristically serious as he considered the request, folding his arms across his chest as he stared sternly at his fellow Champion.
"Yeah, I get that you'd come to me when it comes to explosives. I'm kind of an expert, if my title as a Champion of the League didn't already give that impression. But that's the thing about explosions, they're not precise. Like, at all. You'd have an easier time getting Poppy to genuinely smile than to set off an explosion that wouldn't run the risk of collateral damage. And I can't just give you explosives, either. Professor Afro would have a cow if I ever did something so irresponsible, and trust me, he'd find out."
And then the Cheshire grin was back as he chuckled to himself.
"But, if it's all the same to you.....I wouldn't mind accompanying you to set off some smaller explosions instead! If you want caution, then you came to the wrong guy. But if ya need to blow something up, shatter it to pieces, then I'm your yordle! So what do ya say?"
