Knocks on the doors brought attention of both of them to the doors.

"Is everything fine, miss Crownguard?" Someone asked from the other side of the doors.

"Yes" Lux answered "Everything fine."

"Your aunt heard you scream and ordered us to check on you. Are you dressed, can we come in?" Lux got a bit nervous but saw Ezreal jump into the closet, so she agreed.

Woman in the official armor walked in and just turn her eyes around. She did checked balcony as it was still open, closet it with "It's cold", apologized and left the room. Ezreal came out as soon as she left.

"So" Lux started "Mage. How did you learn to use magic? Who thought you?"

"No one. All pure talent" Ezreal answered with a grin.

"Does gauntlet gives you power?" Lux pointed at Ezreal's left arm.

"No"

"So you can use magic without it?"

That caught Ezreal off guard. Noone ever asked him this "I never used it without my gauntlet?"

"You can't?"

"More like never tried" Ezreal said "I just got used to it. But it doesn't have the power on it's own, I feel how she drains energy from me every time I use her. And she wasn't glowing when I found her, she started when I wore her"

"You refer to it as 'she'" Lux stated. Her tone made Ezreal embarrassed at  the though.

"And what about you?" He very efficiently changed the subject "How you found about your magic?"

"One day I got attacked in woods." Lux began "I... just found out" Ezreal nodded. "Someone showed me a way to get control over it."

"Those little bulbs aren't what you can truly do. Am I right?"

"I won't test my powers in my room. Ow, I forgot, I never invited you to come in."

"At least you know I am not a vampire" Ezreal grinned at her "I can take you somewhere in the open and more private" Ezreal opened the balcony and waved his arm at the view "Where would you like to go?"

Lux, a bit hesitant, stepped closer. After a moment of though she pointed at a very wide roof of public market. At this time of the day should be empty "There" She challenged the boy.

Ezreal looked and confirmed the destination place with her, threw his gauntlet up and down few times for visual effect. He quickly felt energy inside "Bucker up" He said, catching Lux by her waist, to which she responded with firstly pulling his hand higher than it was at start, then loosely embraced him by his neck. In a moment, not longer than a blink, she fell a centimeter down. The world around her lighted in golden and it took her a moment to realize she was, in fact, on the public market roof. It was so unexpected, no turbulence, no blast, she really could blink and miss the moment. But she teleported. It was then Lux realised she is still holding to Ezreal. To be fair, he didn't take his hand from her back either. She quickly stepped away, first time hiding her eyes from someone elses. To focus on something Lux corrected the placement of her hairband and her gloves. 

They were at the place, as Ezreal promised. This boy knew what he was doing. With magic at least. He still needed to work on impressing her. At least she fooled herself into thinking that.

"So" Ezreal broke the silence "We are here" He gestured around.

"Bravo" Lux said clapping her hands. Ezreal rolled his eyes at her mockery and stepped closer.

"Can you show me? How's your magic? I would love to see it in full potential."

Lux hesitated for a moment, but she did said she doesn't want to show him in her room and he took her here. Giving up, she imagined a light and brought it to existence. Made it replicate in air, multiple lights danced around eachother. Although they were white in the center, around it was a visible ranbow of all the colors. Sun was low and the place they standed was in the shadow. And Ezreal though of the money anyone could make selling the view like it. Of course he was thinking about the lights. Relieved, relaxed, but focused and engaged Lux, finally letting limits of her magic be tested wouldn't be as lucrative business, even a bit, but it was pricelles for Ezreal.

"That's about all I have for now" She ended her show with lights all going down and disappearing after her.

"You were beautifull" Ezreal commented "The lights were beautifull" He corrected himself "Not that you are ugly, far from that" The buy startled and cut himself off, putting his hands on his cheeks. 

"Can I see the glove?" Lux decided to offer him a way out. She was curious and he was embarrassed, he will do anything to get himself out "Your gauntlet."

Ezreal walked closer and pulled up his left arm. At first Lux just quietly studied it up close, after a moment however she came to touching it, studying the fracture, the glow and other things. "Would you let me hold it?" She finally asked, not realising she started to whisper.

"You sure?" Ezreal was feeling a bit akward. You can argue he didn't complain about a trip because he had a chance to see this girl and her studying his gauntlet and being more interested in it than in him was not how he imagined it. 

"Ok, maybe show me how it works before that?" She asked and smiled to Ezreal.

Ezreal pulled a shot onto random direction. "Nothing big, it could leave a black sign on stone and burn skin a bit, but you would have to aimed for the head to kill" He explained "For bigger blasts, I need to charge longer"

"Is it natural? I have to imagine and actively form the shape of my magic." 

"It came naturally. Then again, when you are running away from dangerous, self destroying labirynth, you can learn a lot with instinct" He gave Lux a grin "Still wanna try it out?" Ezreal asked.

"If you let me."

Ezreal took his gauntlet off and handed it to Lux. She got suprised at actuall weight. On Ezreal it seemed like it had no weight, but it definitelly had one. Not like it was heavy, but smaller kind of sword. Actually, it was heavier than gloves Garen wear. Ezreal seemed skinny, but he had some muscles made if this gauntlet was used at daily basis.

Lux carefully put her left hand in the gauntlet. When she finally relaxed and let it fall loosely on her hand, it started to glow with all colors of rainbow right as she focused on it more. That moment she also felt energy drained from her. Ezreal observed all that. "Okey, now, focus on the gauntlet, feel it" He adviced. Lux felt it and immidietly felt good about her power. She created new light and made it bigger than before without even trying as. She also though she hears Ezreal talking to her, but it felt like from a distance. And it got extremely hot. And her legs crumbled. 

Ezreal rushed in last moment and cought falling Lux before she hit the floor. They also landed far enough so exploding light bulb didn't hurt them, but it did created a bit of fire and tremblings thru the city. When he looked down, he saw guards already alarming eachother about the fire.
