❛    No more than what I can handle,    ❜    Irelia murmurs, mirth audible in her tone as she gazes at Jayce with adoration    ———    so close she can feel his breath upon her lips. A hand reaches forth, intertwining her digits with his, the familiarity of their touch warms her even on the darkest of nights, when their oldest demons come back for them and snaps at the foot of their shared bed.    ❛    Kiss me and not my hair, you fool.    ❜

Taking the lit lantern in hand after she covers herself with an extra coat, she slides the door open and walks to the edge of the balcony, taking a seat in the night breeze under the light of the pale moon - unable to bring herself to sleep once more.

Stalks of grass shifts in the wind, her hair freed of the bands she had used this morning to prevent it blowing into her face as she addressed the people. A shadow passes over her closed eyes and she gazes up to find a familiar figure, standing over her in his usual brooding manner.    ❛    You were present, then? I thought such talks would simply bore you.    ❜    She makes no effort to hide the pleased smile which crossed her face at the knowledge that Crux had been with her; in his own way of course.    ❛    Such is the onus of leadership I’m afraid. I am... accustomed to it.    ❜    An untruth would be too harsh of a term to describe Irelia’s apparent nonchalance at the attitudes of others. Mature enough to realize that it is a tall ask indeed to please everyone but not fully-fledged in her confidence as a leader to simply brush off such discontentment towards what she and the council believes to be the best course of action.

❛    I hoped that you may be sympathetic towards the plight of Ionia's people,    ❜    She states quietly, blades almost drooping behind her    ———    a lone flower’s plight as it is caught up in winter’s unforgiving path. A woman very much shaped by her loss, there isn’t much the Captain would shy away from doing if it means helping others deal with the pain her heart knows as an old friend. She bears the nonchalant attitude with her back straight, eyes seeking the gaze of the assassin; perhaps still hopeful of rekindling empathy. The kunoichi had stated that she’d hear her out, after all.     ❛    There is much unrest that has been caused by the Brotherhood. I wish to soothe this turmoil    ———    with fire if I must.    ❜    Voice hardening near the end, resolve as steady as her blades held aloft in the air.

You are steadfast, kind and dependable, and have a habit of making people feel safe when they talk to you. They gravitate towards you because of the patience and calm you exude, and can trust you implicitly. You have a knack for saying the right thing, and have learned to bear your pain with a tolerance and grace that goes unnoticed by many but seen by the important few. You're allergic to drama and conflict, but know when and where to stand your ground. You tend not to be reckless and hasty, as the times you have done so in the past caused pain. You are prone to embarrassment - when you feel you've blundered the shame is almost overwhelming.Even though you may not see your own worth as clearly as you should, those around you are determined to stay with you because you make them feel like they're at home, accepted unconditionally. The best kind of person. As a deity, you're the god of stability, of healing, of sanctuary and safe harbor, of faithfulness and commitment, of mountains, of fields, of growing old, of effort and humble reward, of autumn, of prosperity and kindness of spirit.

Sword girls unite. . . Irie/fio would be Hard to pull off but I think there’s at least a possibility there. They’re both pretty dedicated to their respective nations and are both unexpected warriors in some manner. Irelia would find Fio’s skill and drive to be exceptional and intend to possibly learn from her. the Demacian’s defiance of roles and expectations is admirable and something Irelia relates to. Witnessing the large Laurent family would be intimidating yet comforting for the Captain.
