Ā The coldest in both gaze and words was a foreign concept to that of the Ionian ninja . . . at least under the context of it coming from someone who she considered a beaming ray of light in an ever present haze of gray . . . it made her stomach churn in remorse , her heart sink ever slightly , and her eyes droop in shame .
Ā Akali's hand reaches out slightly beyond her person , towards the Crownguard daughter . . . before swiftly dropping back down to her waist level once again ,
Ā ā Lux . . . I . . . ā she struggled to find words ; what had originally been planned as a late night rendezvous where she would express a simple three word phrase to the other ? It had turned into one where Akali felt unworthy of such a notion . . . again .
Ā She had warned Luxanna before this arrangement had even begun , about the blood that stained her hands and it being the reason they would be so far apart more often than not . . . yet , that didn't sway Luxanna . . . at least for the long while , perhaps it was finally catching up to her ? Akali couldn't really blame her if that was the case .
Ā The Ninja tries her luck , stepping forward the blonde woman and gently spinning her to the point where blue eyes locked tenderly with those that were red ; Akali's death laced palm scooping the cheek of The Mage . . . her thumb aimlessly caressing the skin beneath it .
Ā ā åćØčµ°ćććęćć®ć©ć³ćæć³ ćā her voice is soft , attempting to reach deep within the confines of Luxanna's heart . Despite the thrill of a kill , or the pride that came with defending her homeland ? Moments like these . . . growing ever lost in those Crownguard eyes ?
Ā That was where Akali proved happiest .
