i'm just checking on you.
As he speaks for a moment there is silence a gentle shrug of her shoulders and then her head went back down on her desk. A lot had changed in a singular day. In a matter of seconds she went from being present and hoping to unite both cities and the next her dad was in her arms and she heard his music fade, his rhythm, his soul.
❝I should have known, I should have kept my hearing aids off. There is so much tension between us now, and even the underground contests are getting more intense.❞
There is a guilt, her mother having left them and her being well his whole world with the weight of the world on her shoulders. Glass ceilings she supposed or whatever the actual saying was. A small frown as she buried her head into her arms. Between Caitlyn's loss and everything that had been going on for Jayce, she had hoped this didn't burden him. But, she should have known better.
After several moments of silence she stood up, her self pity and loathing aside for her own loss. People in Zaun lost more daily, and people in Piltover like her father always got proper burials, now was not a time to feel guilt or sadness. If anything her dad would want her to power through so she had to.
❝I'll be ok. What matters right now is making sure Ambessa doesn't see this as a way to weaponize Hextech or a movement to suppress Zaun even more than she already has. They are just hurting.❞
She hesitates for a moment and then look at him as she stands up. A look of determination on her features despite the somber expression hidden away behind her eyes. Although, if anyone could tell she was hurting it would be him.
❝Plus, you just got hurt I am not the one who should be worrying you, in fact our roles should totally be reversed. Between this and Viktor I should be the one making you tea, Jayce.❞
