In the crowded streets of Piltover, an aspiring inventor leads the way toward his apartment as two young nobles, roughly the same age, follow with boxes of trinkets in their arms

"How much farther?" The grouchy Kiramman asks, earning a smirk from the young man in front of her

"Just a bit more walking and we're there, don't worry." Jayce explains as the boy beside Caitlyn pops his head out from behind the box he's carrying

"Okay but why aren't you carrying anything?" The heir to the Wayne fortune accusingly questions as Jayce looks back at him with his smirk still holding

"Because I got you to do that for me, Bruce." Jayce finishes with a wink and condescending chuckle, causing the young boy to grumble

"Jerk..." Bruce furrows his eyebrows and moves his head back to its original position while growing a visible frown. Caitlyn notices the change in demeanor and stares at the boy for a second before growing a soft smile

She moves a bit closer to Bruce and lightly shoulder-bumps him, grabbing his attention. "Cheer up, when we're done, we could go over to your house. Maybe Alfred could bake up those cupcakes I like"

After listening to the suggestion, Bruce's facial expression softens as he gains a subtle smile. He chuckles and nods at the blue-haired noble. "Yeah, sounds like a plan"

Caitlyn returns his smile with a more noticeable one before speaking. "And I hope he uses the special frosting. It makes them taste sweet beyond belief!" She eagerly expresses while closing her eyes, imagining consuming the delectable pastry

Bruce laughs at her excitement and turns his head back forward, shifting his eyes to the box of trinkets while keeping his warm smile. "Yeah, sweet... like you..." He mumbles to himself, yet not soft enough as Caitlyn hears his words

"What was that?" She asks with a raised eyebrow while turning her sights toward the boy, making him grow a reddened face

"I didn't say anything." He sternly replies, averting her eyes and hiding his flushed expression by lifting the box closer to his head. Caitlyn giggles at the reaction and regrows her warm smile

"He's always so cute when he gets embarrassed." The young Kiramman thinks to herself as Jayce chuckles while viewing their antics

"Heh, I knew this would work." Jayce thinks as he continues to lead the pair of teens toward his residence

Outside the apartment of the boy from House Talis, are two children opening doors leading to a balcony

"Huh, and Mylo calls this hard." Y/N says as he and Powder enter the apartment, looking around in wonder of all the different valuables and gadgets

"Woah..." They say in unison, their eyes widening while the sun shines and reflects off the shiny exterior of some trinkets

After a moment, Y/N opens the sack and goes to the nearest table to throw valuables into it. "Okay, let's make this quick, Pow." He tosses the bag into the middle of the room as he continues his search for more worthy items

"Okay." She nods and starts her search, moving books and novelties aside. Her eyes shift from various areas until she stops on a deck of cards. "Huh... Y/N would like these"

As Powder grabs the playing cards, Y/N picks up a mint-condition Valdiani, holding it closer to inspect its design. "Woah... Powder would love this." He grows a smirk and shifts his body to the side to turn his head and look at Powder
