ACT 24

Kai'Sa tapped her chin in contemplation as she surveyed each and every milk brand right before her. Standing in front of one of the many refrigerators she had opened in the convenience store she was in, the dancer couldn't seem to decide which dairy drink should she buy.

Behind her, a familiar-looking man was peeking over the shelves of the store. He looked rather out of place thanks to his attire. While Kai'Sa merely wore black and purple jogging shorts, a white tanktop and a pair of violet flip-flops, the man donned a suit that looked worth more than just an average person's monthly salary.

K/DA's beloved dancer seemed to be oblivious of the spectator, still absorbed in the little dilemma she was having. The mentioned man from behind chose to approach Kai'Sa, but instead of talking to her directly, he reached past her and took a random carton of milk.

"Excuse me, miss." He politely, too politely honestly, excused himself, grabbing whatever his hand touched first.

Kai'Sa mildly blushed in embarrassment, stepping asside immediately after she quickly swiped the milk either Ahri or Evelynn usually buys for them. Once she got out of the way and placed the carton in her basket, she turned to the man that seemed to be interested in his own choice of milk.

Only to be caught by surprise.

"Mister Azir!"

"Ah!" Azir's surprise was just too rehearsed and exaggerated, but due to the shock of the dancer, his lame acting was enough to be considered somewhat convincing. "Kai'Sa? Is that you?"

"Good afternoon, sir." Kai'Sa greeted with a small bow of her head. "I didn't expect to see you here."

"Ah, well, neither did I. To you, I mean." Azir laughed rather awkwardly to himself. "I was in the neighborhood and thought I might get myself some..."

Kai'Sa watched as the father of the person she likes read whatever it was written on the milk carton he had obtained from the fridge. He squinted his eyes a bit as he read aloud the printed letters, but he somehow gave up halfway and chose to pull out a pair of reading glasses and slip them on.

"...low-fat milk."

"Umm... Sir?"

"Yes?"

"I don't mean to be straightforward and all, but... What're you really doing here?"

Azir visibly slackened in front of her. "How... What gave it away?"

"Well..." Kai'Sa nodded to the front of the store, where two men in black suits can be found idling. "I'm assuming those two men are with you, and uh, I remember Sivir mentioning that you're lactose intolerant."

"Oh..."

Kai'Sa smiled apologetically. "I don't mean to ruin your plan or anything."

"No, no, I'm actually here because..." Azir sighed as he returned the milk carton he was holding back inside the refrigerator. "Because I wanted to talk to you."

"You wanted to talk to me?"

Azir nodded, guilt evident in his gaze. "My dear heba told me all about you the other night and she seems to be real fond of you. I just wanted to see if the feeling is mutual."

"Wait, Sivir talks about me?"

"Talks about you? You were the only thing we spoke about throughout dinner." Azir then smiled, recalling Sivir's animate way in describing Kai'Sa during their father-daughter outing. "I came here because I've never seen Sivir so... excited."
