" Just . . . Just die , I guess . What else am I supposed to do ? I'm 4'9 and he's 6'10 . I guess I could try to reason with him , but . . . " Taliyah paused . She looked at her long sleeves , rocks weighing them down , then back at anon .
" My sleeves . I could choke him if I get on him . . . I'd probably still suffer from injuries though . But . . . Garen and I are friends . Kinda hard to kill a friend . "
Just a quick note
Taliyah next to someone who's 6'6
So if your character is taller than that... Please cover your tumtum or else she's gonna t o u c h

Sire... Now that was a term seldom used to address him, or anyone in this day and age of the Empire. How pleasantly polite.
“I’m afraid the juice is more of a ‘healthy’ choice. From your previous question regarding to ‘what I am’, I would at least assume you to know even remotely about me, child. As a hemomancer, healthy blood is of the utmost importance. My entire dietary tendencies and preferences are in relation to that.”
He made some motions with his hands and arms, as he explained. Obviously in a proud tone of voice, both towards his craft and decision to take nutrition in consideration and act accordingly.
“Now allow me a question, child. Care to tell me more about yourself? You obviously have some notion of knowledge of me, but I have none of you.” For a moment, his pale eyes flashed a glint of crimson, before soon being almost completely absent of colour again.
Hemomancy . . . Yeah , okay , that makes more sense than a vampire . Vladimire was also a bit scary , in her opinion . What ? His eyes literally just changed color ! Don’t tell her that isn’t just a bit creepy . Taliyah had tensed slightly while noticing this , the stone under her heels cracking .
Don’t scare a stone mage .
“ Oh ! U-Uhm , well , I’m just using my free time for something that would be worth while . My name’s Taliyah- ! I’m also a mage , but . . . unpredictable . Is that the right way to put it . . ? “
Taliyah rambled off near the end , awkwardly rubbing her wrists . She isn’t exactly the best at speaking to people that could easily kill her . Should she fix that ? After all , now she’s a citizen of Noxus .
The young adult chewed the inside of her cheek in thought . There is no way to save this , is there ? “ U-Uhm . . . Basically , rocks really like me . “ Way to go . She smiled gently , a soft blush dusting her freckled cheeks . That . . . Was embarrassing .
Gosh , even his words were elegant . It's fine to feel intimidated , right ? Doesn't matter . Either way , Taliyah is staring at him with amazement . The gaze was short lived , though , glancing away for courtesy(and whatever image she had left) .
" The only thing I've tried was Ionian green tea . What makes fine Noxian wine different from fine Ionian wine ? "
If Taliyah was a cat , curiosity would have killed her years ago .
Taliyah couldn't help but let the smile turn mischievous . Oh , it was always hilarious , being thought as nothing but a little girl . In reality , she fought a rogue ascended one at the age of 16 , with little proper training .
Defending herself was always fun , but Taliyah doesn't want to boast .
" Sett ? Hm . . . Reminds me of Seth . My name is Taliyah ! You're big . And fluffy . " Once again , the Shuriman eyed him . Not for the heck of it , but to study him . A moment or two later , Taliyah smiled , offering her hand . He got her trust . For now .
" It's nice to meet you . "

For a moment, his gaze darkened as he looked upon the woman, as though she had revealed something dark, a betrayal in her so few words. How often was he able to feel safe, to be reassured by others? to feel… like he must not be so afraid? Too long. Far too long. His hands trembled, twitching by his sides, motionless for a moment… but then the realization came to him, enough to almost dust his cheeks with red by his own assumption, by his own embarrassment that felt very hot beneath his skin.
No one would be that blunt unless they wished to be ripped to shreds.
And before he could question it, she answered him with her words. So she holds a grudge? He couldn’t blame her–while he held no true hatred for Darius, the two nothing more than the same man on different sides of the table, one a decade older, another a decade more foolish.
“Taliyah,” He grabbed one of her hands with both of his own, being far gentlerthan he needed to, but his expression unsteady as he tried to find the proper words to speak, mouth feeling dry as he struggled, “There are many things I’d like to say, but this is… not the place.” He let go, and instead stood up properly, spine rigid and hands moved behind his back. The more they spoke, and the longer they stayed, the more attention it’d bring, and the sooner she’d say something that would put her, and himself, in a position where he couldn’t feign not knowing, with that charming smile and those kind eyes to draw the burning stared of hatred and turn them to himself, and to gazes of envy and trust.
“You appear to be worse for wear as well. Do you have a place you are staying while in Demacia? I could also have a temporary living arrangement put in place as a…. apology for our less-hospitable people.”
“I’d prefer to be able to speak somewhere without prying eyes and ears.”
Taliyah was a thicc girl with a thicc skull , if you understand . However , her emotions were always hyper sensitive . One wrong word could leave her thinking for a while . One laugh at the wrong time could break her dam . Any tone of voice could make her utterly embarrassed - which is how she earned the nickname ‘cherry girl’ . And a cherry girl she was .
The shuriman’s face turned a bright red as she glanced back up . Okay . . . So he doesn’t hate her . Yet . That’s good , right ? Right . Taliyah sent him a nervous smile .
“ Well . . . Food is more important than shelter . I had a room last night , but that is a couple cities over . My master told me where I could stay and . . . Train without him . “ Taliyah explained this as best as she could , trying not to sound like an absolute idiot . Wait , does Garen know how fast she can travel ? Probably not .
Her free hand reached into her purse . It was full of her accessories , being warned that having floating stones around you wouldn’t look too friendly in Demacia , and a leather pouch full of coins .
“ How much Silver Serpents would it be ? Demacia uses those , right ? Or was it Valors . . . “ Her voice trailed off , inspecting the hand that held hers . “ Your hands are pretty . And big . You could probably grab my face . “

In longing, you feel hope. You're on a long road, you know this. Your desire is strong, big in your chest but you don't feel weighed down. You've had your hardships, but you know what you truly seek is, or could be, not far from your grasp. Not to say you don't feel the burning in your heart for something more, but theres still a spark in you, a voice that says, "don't give up, what if?" You can be patient. You know you must be. Your yearning is felt like a campfire in rain, the circumstances say the flame should be out, but yet it burns, as long as god willing or sheer effort keeps it alive. You feel the pull in your gut that makes your throat tighten with the ache of your heart but you softly smile, it's just a reminder of your love. You aren't afraid of your feelings in the way that would make you push them away because you're familiar with them and you know the payoff would be well worth the grief. You're doing great my darling, you will find your love if you have not already.
