ACT 26

Breakfast was honestly like some sort of comedic mixture of tension, awkwardness and feigned reactions. Throughout the beginning of the morning meal, Kennen mostly did the talking, the topic he was mostly telling the others centering around the news he had seen on the internet.

Apparently, the producers of Primetime Valoran had just released a teaser about what the people should expect on tomorrow night's episode.

At first, Kennen told them about the possibility of knowing the truth behind Tryndamere and Katarina's affair. It's an issue Mayym was surprisingly keeping track off due to the fact that the red-haired actress was actually her favorite action star.

After Kennen gave his aunt a short summary of what was told in the teaser concerning the possible affair, he proceeded in telling them about how there was also going to be an interview involving one of his own favorite actresses from 'The Legends of the Lunar Dynasty'.

Everyone's full attention was immediately captured though the moment Kennen told them that Primetime Valoran also teased that they have an exclusive interview with Akali and Evelynn. An interview that was described as something no one should ever miss.

When the latter in particular was mentioned, Tahno had slightly choked on the piece of meat he had just finished chewing, which prompted Mayym to give his back a few rubs to soothe his coughing. Unlike her husband, she was more composed when it came to matters that significantly involved their daughter.

Shen, who was as clueless as Kennen was about the knowledge of Akali's parents towards the rapper's intimate relationship with the diva, cleared his throat and chose to speak up first about the said interview.

"Did the show say what the interview's about?" Shen asked, succeeding in sounding casual with his query.

Kennen shook his head. "They want the viewers to watch the episode tomorrow, Shen, so of course they won't say too much about it."

As for the two artists being discussed, Akali can be found stuffing her mouth with meat and rice, while Evelynn calmly lowered her own bowl and drank from her glass of water. Both women had their hair down and mostly covering their necks, but it wasn't enough to cover all of the marks they left.

Since the freestyler's parents were seated across the two of them, the older couple managed to spy the hickey Akali had left near the right side of Evelynn's neck. While Mayym just smiled to herself and continued eating her own meal, Tahno had to take a breath and drink most of his water before he managed to resume in consuming his food.

"We should watch the interview, then." Mayym replied to Kennen, sparing a few brief looks towards her husband and the pair in front of them. "What better way to support Akali and Evelynn, right?"

Tahno cleared his throat and murmured his agreement, nodding once before focusing on his own bowl of food. Kennen nodded more eagerly than his uncle though, while Shen shifted a bit awkwardly from where he was situated as he quietly agreed as well.

"Or maybe," Kennen then grinned innocently at Akali. "you and Evelynn-san could just tell us all about it."

"What, like some sort of insider scoop? No way." Akali spoke through all the food in her mouth, which got her a scolding look from her mother.

"Killjoy." Kennen muttered, making a face.

"Swallow your food first, Rogue." Evelynn smoothly intervened, poking Akali's forehand with her own chopsticks.

Akali flashed a little sheepish smile at Evelynn before she did what she was told and decided to swallow her food once she finished chewing. "What time's the show?"
