Blue: This looks amazing!

Adam: You’re always this excited for food, aren’t you?

Blue: Hey, a good meal is something to appreciate!

Ahri leaned forward on her cushion, resting her chin in her hand as she watched Blue closely.

Ahri: You know, Blue…we’ve all been wondering something.

Blue paused, his chopsticks hovering over the food.

Blue: Hmm? What’s that?

Akali: Hehe, what you look like under that mask of course!

Blue: Ah Crapbaskets.....

Adam: Yeah, you've managed to keep that secret for a while now. You’ve gotta take it off to eat, right?

Blue: Dammit Adam! You were meant to respect my privacy! ;_;

Blue froze for a moment, his eyes darting between the four of them. Irelia, while more reserved, had an inquisitive look in her eyes as well, clearly curious about the man behind the mask.

Realising he was now the center of attention, Blue sighed dramatically, setting down his chopsticks with a playful flourish.

Blue: So....you all just want to know what I look like. I understand that.

Ahri: Well, can you blame us? You keep it hidden so well.

Akali: It’s not like we’re asking you to reveal your deepest secrets, just your face.

Blue: Alright, if you’re all that curious...

Everyone leaned in, their eyes glued to him as Blue reached up to his mask. For a split second, he seemed to pause, as if teasing them.

Then, with lightning-fast reflexes that defied belief, Blue pulled his mask down, grabbed a huge bite of food, and devoured it so quickly that it was almost impossible to catch even a glimpse of his face.

By the time the others blinked, Blue was already pulling the mask back up over his face, chewing with exaggerated satisfaction.

Blue: Ahhhh, delicious. Ionian food is amazing!

The table fell silent for a moment as the others stared at him, stunned by what they’d just witnessed. Adam was the first to break the silence.

Adam: What the hell man? I swear, you’ve got to be some kind of magician, what type of BS was that?!

Blue: Jokes on you, I can't do magic!

Ahri: [Pouts] That’s not fair. How did you even do that?

Blue: I would say magic....but you know the story

Akali burst out laughing, shaking her head in disbelief.

Akaki: Unbelievable. I’ve never seen anyone eat that fast. You really did just dodge all of us.

Blue: I truly am the quick one

Irelia: It seems Blue prefers to keep his secrets for now. But I must say, that was impressive.

Blue: Why thank you, but yes, I am not showing my face anytime soon

Ahri sighed, though there was a glimmer of amusement in her eyes.

Ahri: One of these days, we’ll catch you off guard.

Blue: No you won't :D

The group resumed their meal, the atmosphere lightened by laughter and conversation. Despite their failed attempt to uncover Blue’s face, they enjoyed the evening, indulging in the delicacies of Ionia and sharing stories of their adventures.
