Sinister (girlxgirl)

Whispers - Part 2

Each punch remained consistent in accuracy and strength. One foot in front of the other, arms stretched straight, fists splitting the air in front. Katarina stood on the sidelines and observed each punch thrown right in front of her nose. Her hands held themselves behind her back and her footing parallel like a general. 

Since a week's training, Ashe had become stronger. It was noticeable in the way she moved as she continued to punch the air. Her form had grown much more solid and her head remained low but her eyes sparkled with confidence hidden under her hood. She was almost as confident as the Noxian herself. 

Katarina halted one of Ashe's blows with her palm, cupping her fist. Ashe gave her a confused look while the other woman shifted her hand to wrap it around the queens'. "You're getting stronger." 

Ashe returned a small side smile and loosened her shoulders. She righted herself as she stretched and nodded. "Well, I do have a good teacher."

"I'm not the best, but I'm glad you're finally catching up." 

Ashe flashed a grin. "Me too."

Katarina let go of her hand and the warmth from it vanished. She really didn't want to let go if it but knew it would be weird of her to keep the contact. The Noxian cracked her back and walked over to the bench that was near the perched swords and bows on a rack beside it. She took the two upright water bottles and tossed one to Ashe who caught it nicely in her hands. "Thank you." she mouthed and unscrewed the cap. Katarina hummed and took in gulps of the refreshing water.

The two of them first stopped by the Freljord section to retrieve a change of clothes. Since they always wore their traditional attire, Ashe stopped by her room to change into something more comfortable. Katarina looked around the hallways while she led them to the room and whipped out a key to insert in the lock. She turned her head after the door swung open and the assassin faced herself back from the unfamiliar surroundings. "You can come in if you want, I'm just going to grab a few things first."

Ashe left the door open and walked in and carried on with her business. Katarina curiously poked her head from the doorway and followed the queen with her eyes. She stopped in front of a large dresser that was against the wall in a similar design as her room. The room was fairly large, maybe the largest of all the dorms with a crystal chandelier hanging in the center of the room and a large bed that was on a circular stage one step higher from the polished white floor. There was a very crisp and clear smell as though the room had not a speck of dust. She began to wonder if standing here was not a good idea and drifted off farther to the doorway.

Katarina's gaze wandered everywhere from the tiles to the matching white walls. There was still so much to take in, she had never been such a room before. Truly it was fit for a queen. Ashe pulled out a few clothes and walked into a door-less opening to the side of her dresser. It was concealed in a white curtain but was then pulled back and spit apart and flicked on the light. The shelves and horizontal poles from the inside showed it to be a closet and must have kept a lot of clothes and accessories since it was twice the size of her bathroom.

"Is this fine?" Ashe called from inside and tugged the back of her new attire. She took the hood from the light jacket she wore but then thought for a moment before letting it go. She took in a breath and adjusted the collar of the jacket instead.

Katarina hesitated to step closer from where she stood at the door. The Frost Archer waited for a reply and huffed ten seconds later. She strutted out only to knock into the Noxian. Ashe's forehead collided against Katarina's lips and sent her holding her mouth in pain. "Oh my gosh Kat! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it!"
