“What’s wrong, Warrior of Light? Gaelicat got your tongue?” Satoru’s quite taller than the average Miqo’te, he understands, especially for one of Othardian origins. If he were Runa, he’d get a little shy too – he’s certain that she’s used to being the tallest in the room, second only to the average Auri man. That’s not even mentioning how he knows how good looking he is. He leans in closer, wrapping an arm around her shoulder and presses cheek to cheek, rubbing his warmth against hers. He can’t help it – she’s just too cute! “I heard you were one for few words, but I can scarcely believe I’m witnessing it myself! You don’t need to be shy around me, though. Think of us as … old friends? I mean, if you got any of my letters, we’re as good as acquainted. If not, well… I don’t bite, and I’m happy to be more than an ally in the battlefield.”

“ i promise, i promise, i'll have better form. ” it's a bit of a lie── it always is, isn't it? tartaglia's never been the best at the bow, after all. he much prefers his spears, his blades── even some tomes. it shrugs as it draws its bowstring haphazardly, a poor man's attempt at strumming a single stranded lyre. ( ah, it can hear runa chastise him already. ) it snaps back into place as he continues, acting none the wiser. “ but it works well enough for now, doesn't it? &. if the worst happens── well, i can throw an arrow or two with frightening force. ” ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳ ﹕ pietys​.

❝ ah, promoting heartsteel is so much work ... ❞ not that ezreal regrets it; he probably wouldn't trade it for the world, basking in his newfound fame with an iron grip. right now, though? his hands are lazily wrapped around runa's middle, chin resting on her shoulder as he makes a nuisance of himself on her couch. nothing like the perfect star plastered on the billboards, his cheeky smile replaced for a childish pout. ❝ 'lune's working us to the bone lately, i can hardly keep up ... wait── don't tell 'phel i said that, ok? ❞ not like ezreal means it, anyways! 𖤐 ˎˊ˗

The sorcerer of eld gave a weary sigh, gaze briefly lifting to the now-darkened skies over the Crystarium before settling once more on Runa. ❝ Oh, spare me your petulance. I agreed on a temporary truce, did I not? I will keep my word. So long as you and yours do the same. ❞

the sentiment behind her words was easily understood by the hero of light, for who else was more experienced in the art of separation? it would be easy to sink along to the melancholic nature of it all / to wallow in acceptance that the day of inevitable departure grows ever closer... but that hardly sounded like any fun! so he offers runa a lopsided smile, followed by full body lean against her that was way too dramatic to be taken seriously! ❛ what are you, some sort of poet? the rhyming was a little too much. besides, that’s already a given! ❜ as if there could ever be a day where his friends would reside anywhere else? ❛ whether we're together or not, you’re always in my heart! now, c’mon! stop being so sappy and let’s go! ❜
