Pursed lips for a moment, the proposition made.
Legs kicking like a fishes tail as he huffed.
“ With a couple of guidelines... id allow it.
You can't be all righteous. You gotta let me do my Ezreal magic. ”
legs kicking backwards.
Maybe a reminder of the binds still limiting his movements. Not that it mattered in their current position.
“I sensed trouble.” She simply woke up and didn’t find him beside her. “Speaking of — what if I tagged along to your next choice of adventure?”
His back flattens against the bed,
a small 'Oof' when she falls atop his chest.
“ Have you all considered more dirt?
Really makes the most sterile of buildings more liveable, I don't like seeing my reflection in the pearly white floors and thinking its a changling. ”
—
“So you’ve been getting yourself acquainted with the palace. Discovered anything interesting?
It’s full of tiring hallways and spooky knight armors.”
Yet to dissolve the spell, he’s soon pushed onto the bed with the blonde plopping on top. “There we go. Much better.”
“ What are you—”
His boots skid across the ground as hes pulled up, an occasional hobble when he's unable to move his feet along behind her.
“ I got restless. And besides, you weren't supposed to be awake. I do it often, and come back before you're awake. ”
Her magic isn’t her only strength, hand gripping on the back of his jacket to force him on his feet, only to drag him with her. Glowing binds yet to release him.
“ Lux, I told you. I'm no thief, im an archeologist, an explorer. If i'm looking for treasure it's not in a place with indoor plumbing— secondly, there was zero chance of me being caught, the guards don't have light magic.
I'm an innocent man. ”
His lips pouty, and quivering.
“Were you looking for treasure?
I must warn you, you don’t wanna end up chained in a prison cell. I think my room’s far more comfortable.”
She’s yet completely unfazed by his attempts to charm her with that smile.
The explorer's eyes widen, his stride suddenly broken as he collapses on the floor, breaking his descent with the palms of his hands.
“ Hey! I DIDN'T TAKE ANYTHING— ”
His voice is panicked, scurrying to roll over with legs bound in place only to see the mage.
—
Rings of light form around @LegallyLootIt’s boots, binding him in place and effectively stopping him in his tracks.
“Somebody’s getting too comfortable roaming around the palace.”
Almost as if he’s wishing to be caught.
Her glare could probably set him on fire if she wanted to.
And your bright idea for sneaking an entire fossil - of very, very questionable origins - into the castle is…?
He needs some rest after reaching that treasure of his.
So why doesn’t he drop the joking attempts and come tell her of his latest expedition? The mage had been waiting for his return.
“ You know, it did feel better when I stopped thinking about it but you just ruined that by reminding me so OW OW OW. ”
The final ow actually bringing him to wince.
“ I can't believe you're making me wait now. ”
“ Ehhh, unfortunate isn't really what id call it.
Despite what it seems. I have two important ladies in my life. There's you. and Lady Luck.
At least I know one of the two loves me. ”
The explorer mused with a smile.
—
gently chewing on her bottom lip. Travelling companion…
“You could get a travelling companion back to Piltover. After you heal.
Does it feel any better?”
She gestured, referring to his wound.
The explorer pouted, puffing his cheeks as the mage tugged on them ever slightly, she made it difficult to fake being irritated as his lips remained staticly upright .
“ If you must know . . . usually when I return home—
a gentle pinch on the cheek. “Tell me about the things you’ve donated.
How did they even accept your donations?”
Stepping away from Demacia for a bit didn’t sound like a bad idea, suddenly.
I have an accumulated debt of property damages.
Sometimes you make people mad, they come looking for you and then they start breaking things. You know the usual.
So now though they take alot of my findings as investments back into Piltover to display at their museums. ”—
