@heredis-sanguinis started ♡ The nights were never quiet in Noxus, especially in Prime. It was known for the hours after the sun had set, to be more dangerous to wander the streets and alleys of Noxus alone. Not just for muggers and thugs causing violence and worse. No, there was talk that monsters prowled the streets as well. From the top of a roof, Vladimir kept his eyes on a familiar face. Or rather, a familiar pulse, as only he would. "Good evening, Stoneweaver." he called out. (For Noxian!Taliyah, from Vampire!Vlad)
Noxus . It always interested Taliyah , and even after six years of living in this hell , it seems that there's still so much more to learn . Nevertheless , the soldier kept at it .
It was yet another night . The stone weaver was on her way home after a disappointingly slow day , when she felt something . A warning , deep in her gut . Taliyah wasn't alone . . . Really , it was a mistake on the other's part . Never sneak up on a stone weaver .
Her hazel eyes glanced around the dark street , hand reaching to the pocket of her uniform shorts . In there was a clean blade . The weapon wasn't needed in the end , when a familiar voice called out .
" Sire ? " The freckled soldier questioned , turning to the direction of the voice . Up , on a roof , a silhouette of a man came into view . " Good evening , Sire . You know , a gentleman doesn't stand on a roof while speaking to a lady . "
Taliyah's teasing tone hide her confusion rather nicely . What was a man like Sir Vladimir doing on top of a roof on a night like this ? Was he lost ? Hurt ? These questions shot through her mind quickly , though were shut down just as soon as they were thought up . Vladimir is strong , she knew . He's here for a different reason .
Whatever the reason , Taliyah was to help . Even if she isn't very fond of it .
obliviously flaunts hips. youre welcome
Taliyah tried her best to look away , but God . . . His hips really don't lie . "You're lucky I like you , " she muttered with a blush .
Please— please please PLEASE- tag anything that has needles. I have Trypanophobia(is that what it's called?). Just thinking about them makes me extremely uncomfortable- surgical or not. Most sharp things also do this to me, but needles are the worst—
Even if it's one of those aesthetic pictures with glitter, I still can't do it.
> brand new fiddle blog looking for people to interact with. give this little fear demon some love? <3
This . . . was definitely strange . His explanation made Taliyah's blood run cold . An arena ? She had heard of it , but she thought it was only something silly her mom had made up to get her to stop playing so rough . Granted , that didn't work , but . . .
Taliyah was brought out of her thoughts when a sudden hand gripped her shoulder . It was large and rough , something she definitely wasn't used to . The shuriman stiffened at the contact , though didn't open her mouth for refusal . In fact , she feared refusing the general . Who knew what a man like Swain could do ?
" N - No . . . I haven't visited a city under the rule of Noxus . I grew up in a tribe that was always on the move , though I did encounter people from there . If I'm to be honest , they seemed almost . . . Miserable . " Taliyah answered his question lightly , eyeing the city . It was dark , in her opinion . Crowded and full of blacks , reds , and dark blues . Dangerous eyes followed the pair , one reason being because of Swain , the second because of Taliyah's bright clothing . Places like this always made her stick out like a sore thumb . " Do people know how to be subtle ? "
The realization was evident in her eyes, the earth colored irises widening in recognition. “The pleasure is all mine, miss Taliyah” Swain replied smoothly, quieting down to listen to the girl’s explanation.
An ideological approach to answering was the Shuriman’s choice. He’d reply in kind. “Some of our customs are brash” The general admitted to the girl. “But violence is universal language. We try to limit the use of violence to battlefield or arena. Should someone start practicing excessive violence outside those theaters… We offer them a choice. To serve in penal legion and take their tendencies to battlefield, or to the arena where our champion Draven will educate them on the wielding of such violence for amusement’s sake” He offered her a chilling smile at the end of this explanation.
Stepping beside her, his hand closed around her shoulder, turning to young woman to walk with him, the two heading deeper into the city of Noxus Prime. “Have you visited the Noxian cities in Shurima? Tell me, how are they nowdays?” He asked in conversational tone, as the two began making their way deeper into the city.
Are we just going to ignore how beautiful Taliyah looks in The Climb? Like, oh god
Only thing I don't like is that she's still sixteen in those. According to lore, she's in her early to mid twenties— WHICH is why I draw her with longer hair. I think the way I draw her makes her look older, but I'm not the judge of that
Maybe we can get a look at what Tali looks now from Riot. Probably not, but I mean, at least we can imagine
What would she look like when she's married? Taliyah returned to Shurima, so she's probably back at her tribe. What do they do when a woman is married? I've heard of their hair finally being cut or being braided- maybe it's adding more lines to her dress. Maybe it's a new color scheme...
Does she have a lover in Shurima? Is it a dude or a gal? Neither? AaA I need to PLOT
Hi, yes, I think I need to say something
Just because I'm interacting with another blog that has the same muse as you doesn't mean I'm bored of you! All portrayals are different.
But, if this does bother you, please tell me so I can make you an exclusive! My blog is supposed to be a safe place ♡
" 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 . "
