LoL Jhin Fanfiction 2 (Piltover)

Chapter 5: A Surprise Guest

Those two more days went by quicker than anyone would've thought. That evening, Jhin put on his favorite attire. After trying to blend in for months, Jhin decided that he would wear his normal clothes. The maroon under shirt and pants, with the cream colored coat on top. Of course, he didn't wear his mask or any of his armour with it, which still gave him plenty of camouflage for tonight.

"Why are you here, again?" Caitlyn said, stacking some papers on top of each other. Jhin only smiled at her annoyance, but wasted no time for what he was for.

"Tonight is Orianna's Ballet at the Zaun community Theater. I just wanted to make sure you were going?"

"That was tonight?" she said, obviously lying as she quickened her pace of putting away her things.

"Mhm," Jhin cooed slyly."As promised, if nothing 'bad' happens, you'll let her perform here?" "And allow me to go on my well deserved killing spree?" he thought in his head, covering the crooked thought with another smile. He couldn't help but ponder on that thought some more. It had been awhile since he created a piece of art and experienced that sense of delicious euphoria coursing through his veins.

"Yup," Caitlyn sighed, unenthusiastically.

"Great," Jhin said, starting to walk away. Though suddenly, a dangerous thought occurred to him."Caitlyn-"

"Yes?" she slowly said, interested yet cautious of his tone of voice.

"You know about gun protection, yes?"

"Yes," she said, observing him carefully with a glare. What he was saying didn't add up to her.

"How common are hextech bullet proof vests?" he asked, thinking vividly about the night he discovered them.

"Depends the area. If it's crime ridden, then you'll see a lot of them there. They even started weaving them into clothing."

"Good to know," Jhin smiled, tapping his chin. Without another word, he left the police station, leaving Caitlyn in a state of doubt and fear.

Jhin arrived at the Zaun Community Theater about an hour before the show began. As soon as he walked in he saw Orianna and Laurens, the pianist, practicing. The piece he played was harmonic as it ever was, and her movements were perfected by the many practices. Jhin looked up toward the small balcony and saw a person fidgeting with the lights."Forgot I hired him..." Jhin thought causally to himself. Everything seemed to be working just fine. Once Orianna finished dancing, Jhin asked a question that had been on his mind since their first practice.

"Are we going to charge admission?"

"Of course not," she said, smiling."Why would we? I want everyone to know how I've changed."

"Thought I'd ask..." he said. In reality, Jhin very much wanted to charge for the performance. He was starting to go low on funds, especially after their debut at the Bridgewaltz.

"Jhin," Orianna said after the first few people started to show up,"why don't you go greet people."

"Me?" he said, not in the mood to chat up any person for the moment."I don't think that's necessary."

"I think it is." It was suddenly very quiet backstage after she said it, as she knew she didn't have to add anything to make him do it. Her cold, metallic, and controlling voice was all he needed to hear.

He went up to the lobby and started smiling at people, happily greeting them just as Orianna said. It was fascinating to see all the people that came, especially when he saw Caitlyn walk in with a guest beside her.
