"Did she receive my gifts?" A voice asked in the darkness and Zoe shifted. Oh, this was going to be bad.
"Well- um- about that?" Zoe said, her normal comically bubbly voice sounded nervous and serious.
"She did not?"
"No, sire," Zoe said, immediately bowing her head in shame.
"How," the sound of a round clicking in a chamber sounded and Zoe gulped, "disappointing."

Ezreal watched as Nami left and stared solemnly at the tea cup the siren had left behind until steam no longer swirled skyward. Sighing, the man left the kitchen, moving through a set of swinging steel brushed doors and into a dimly lit cafe. It was apparent the shop was closed for the night, the large colored neon sign saying "Pantheon's Bakery" stood unlit outside. Most tables had chairs put up, and the large glass windows had both shades and blinds closed, shutting out the world beyond.
"Lux," Ezreal said softly, approaching the mage who was bent over a pile of documents, her eyes focused on reading a page covered in runes as fixed, burning candles danced above her magically. "Lux, we have a problem."
Pushing a strand of pink hair to the side, Lux let out a sigh and stretched a little. Dropping the paper down on the table Lux moved her pink eyes up towards Ezreal.
"Yes, we do," Lux said, her voice tired. "I just got the test results back on those flowers we got from Nami's place. And this isn't good, Ez."
"About that-," Ezreal scratched the back of his head and Lux's brow rose.
"What happened?" Lux said, a flash of light flickering in her candied cotton colored eyes.
"I told her about the lotus flowers, and her tracker," Ezreal said, and with each addition to his sentence he watched as Lux's shoulders grew more and more slumped. "And she knows I was placed to watch over her..." Ezreal couldn't say anymore in case it might actually crush Lux.
"Please tell me that's it," Lux said wearily.
"She knows that she was suspected of working with the Golden Demon," Ezreal said, regret dripping with every word. Why hadn't he just kept his damn mouth shut? Something about Nami made the man feel sorry for her. He couldn't understand why Lux and Ahri were so hellbent on keeping the siren at arm's length.
"Ez... You know Ahri wanted that kept confidential," Lux said, clasping her hands in front of her face. "And so did I. There will be consequences for this. You need to bring Nami here."
"Ah..." Ezreal shifted and Lux's brow rose nearly to the ceiling.
"What else is there?!" Lux said, her temper starting to flare.
"She's gone." Ezreal looked away, hating himself for adding to Lux's burden.
"Gone? Gone where?!" Lux said, standing suddenly, her chair toppling over. Anger was gone from the mage's features that became replaced with raw fear.
"I brought her here, so we could talk.. Now she's left to- ..to find the Demon." Ezreal hooked a thumb over his shoulder. "But- she didn't leave that long ago, we could still catch-" Ezreal began and Lux brought a hand over her mouth, her expression growing more horrified by the second. "Lux? Lux, what is it?"
"It was- the lotus-," Lux was whispering as she looked up at Ezreal. "Nami's been poisoned."
Ezreal's mouth dropped open, his eyes dropping down to the paper that Lux was looking at when he walked in.
"We have to find her, Ezreal," Lux said, determination set in her jaw. "Before it's too late."
