Talon's POV

After the sorceress left me standing in the alleyway alone with my thoughts I decided to report back to my father, I don't see her as a threat, but I want to continue to keep a eye on her.

When I arrived at home I went straight to my father's office, when I walked in I found Katarina laying back in my father's chair with her feet on his desk and my father standing by the lit fireplace with a glass of whiskey in his hand, he was swirling it around in the glass and both of them were engaging in casual conversation. Both of them look at me as I enter.

"Talon! you're back, how did it go?" He says with a smile, before I could answer he picks up a pillow from the one chair and hurl it at Kata "Take your stinking feet of my desk will you !" He said in his best dad voice, Kata laughs as the pillow hits her chest, she grabs it and hugs it, while removing her feet and crossing her legs on the chair.

I laugh at Katarina's behavior and say "Hey Kata, I see you're annoying father now since I wasn't around", she answers "Just doing my part, where were you anyway?"

We don't keep secrets between the three of us so I knew I could speak freely in front of her, "I was following a sorceress that got reported as a potential threat" I said and looked over to my father, he takes a sip of whiskey and then asks "And how did that go?, is she something to worry about? And I hope you kept your distance".

Ohh that was one minor detail that I'll keep for myself, I thought before continuing.. "She doesn't look like much this far, I got information that she's staying at a hotel not far from here, I'll go there tomorrow and see what she could be up to"

"Good, we need to be certain, we haven't gotten a warning like this in years" He says.

The next day

Still Talon's POV

After morning patrols I head to the hotel where the sorceress was staying, it wasn't a very nice place but it is still quite decent, there is a tavern on the first floor which is strange but it's obviously a family business. I make my way inside and see a older women behind the bar, I walk over to her, I need to ask her a few questions but she might not be willing to say anything.

"Hi, is there a white hair girl staying here, purple eyes, very hard to miss" I say almost in a sarcastic way because I know for certain she is staying here and there's no way this lady can tell me she doesn't know of her. "Yes Sir she is staying here, why? Is she in some sort of trouble?" She answers.
So she knows who I am then I assume since she answered me so willingly and formally, I continue to question her, and she told me that she doesn't know anything about the girl just that she wanted to send a letter away to Demacia, the letter hasn't been sent yet so she fetched it and gave it to me.

I open it and hold my breath, I really don't want to find anything that will force me to have to end her life.

Dear Mom and Blair

I don't know how I'll get this letter to you but I'll find a way.

I miss you two so very much and long for the day that I'll see you again, but for now you need not worry about me, I made it to Noxus in one piece and for now I'm safely staying at a hotel. The people are very different than what I'm use to but I feel surprisingly safe here and I hope the two of you are safe as well, please carry on with your lives as best you can, I'll see you again.

Love Lyra

So her name is Lyra, it's pretty, I smile to myself while staring at her name. The letter isn't telling me much it's hard for me to tell whether she's in danger or if they are just a weirdly over protective family, but my bet is that there is something fishy going on here. I gave the letter back to be sealed again and put back in the delivery post box. The women also told me which room she's staying in and that she hasn't left it yet today, I guess she's scared of running into me again, but she's wrong if she thinks she can hide in her room so that I won't find her.

I go outside and look up to her room's balcony, and with a swift move I jump up on a ledge and climb to the second floor, I am a assassin as well after all, being acrobatic is one of my specialties. I reach her balcony, and peek over the edge to see if she's there, but nothing so I leap over the ledge onto the balcony, I take in my surroundings, the white curtains are blowing in the wind and on the table are some papers and a pencil, it looks like she's been sketching, I pick up the first page and What The Fuck, Is that me? ...

I stare at the drawing she did of me, it's really good, I am impressed as much as I am disturbed. Has she been thinking about me ?... perhaps she's just trying to remember my face so she can avoid me.

"What are you doing here!" I hear a voice next to me, it's her... She quickly grabs the papers on the table and from my hand, I look up at her and her face is blood red, she's wearing a short night gown and her cleavage is showing a bit, she notices me looking and pull her chest closed with her free hand.

"Why are you wearing a night gown it's afternoon already?" I say with a smirk.

"Well excuse me for not expecting someone to enter through the balcony!, why are you here?, I've done nothing wrong!" She implies with worry written over her face.

"I know I'm just making sure, you haven't resurrected a undead army or whatever else sorcerers do"

"Are you serious?" She rolls her eyes.

"Well as you can see.. there is no zombies around here, so you may leave now" she says sarcastically with a small smile.

Her smile is so sweet... Fuck I don't know what it is about this girl that drives me crazy, I mean yes she is attractive but I've seen lots of attractive women who definitely does not have this effect on me... I try to distract my mind by asking "Soo you like drawing?, you're quite good" I smile to try and look sincere.

She blushes as I said that and answer "I like keeping track of the people I meet, that's all"

"Alright if you say so" I tease.

"Are you planning on leaving or should I go get dressed?" She asked in an annoyed manner. "I have nothing better to do, so you might as well keep me company" I say while fiddling with the table decorations. She sighs while turning round and walks into the room, I make my way to a chair and sit down to wait for her return, the curtains are not much cover , and I can slightly see into her room but not very clearly. Her back is to me, I really shouldn't look. But I can't stop myself, I watch intently as she slides the gown over her shoulders and drop it to her feet, she has undergarments on but her back is fully exposed, I swallow hard... since when do I get aroused by someone's back and that I can barely see...
