Pairing: KaiʼSa x Sivir

ACT 5

A pair of black sweatpants, a dark violet funnel neck hoodie, black sunglasses and a plain black cap was the only thing that kept KaiʼSa from being recognized by the people she walked past in the city. She originally intended to just take a short walk to clear her mind, but the whole thing lasted longer than she expected.

She was unaware of how long she's been out of the penthouse. Though she could take a glance at her smartwatch to see the time, she decided against it and just continued to wherever her feet took her. With nothing but her phone and wallet in the pockets of her sweatpants, KaiʼSa wandered around.

For the first time ever since she joined K/DA, KaiʼSa found herself yearning for a trip back home to the small town where she was born in. The city felt so big all of a sudden and a part of herself wanted a break from its lively and flashy environment.

Unfortunately, she and her bandmates had so many things lined up in their schedule for the next few days. Taric had given his permission for the whole makeover she and the others went through, but in exchange, they soon had to make a couple of appearances, interviews and promotional photoshoots for the sake of their next album.

They've already finished a couple of songs, but they have yet to complete the one they all agreed would blow their fans away more than the ones they've already created.

KaiʼSa sighed. Songwriting and creating dance choreography was nice and usually eased her, but she didn't want to tend to that right now.

For the past two days, she's been thinking about the thing between her and Sivir. She wanted to ask for some more advice from Evelynn, but before she left the penthouse, Ahri had showed and told her everything that the diva was going to face once she woke up from her sleep. KaiʼSa figured she didn't want to be another burden for Evelynn to worry about, so she settled with a walk out on the city.

Knowing the diva’s caring and protective nature over her friends, KaiʼSa was more than certain Evelynn would’ve done everything in her power just to prioritize her.

The perks of the makeover she had underwent was that the people didn't immediately notice her and recognize that she's a pop idol in a famous music group. After all, last thing the public knew was that she had golden blonde hair similar to Ahri's. The streak of green in her hair may have called for a tiny bit of attention, but it wasn't as loud and noticeable as it might seem to be, especially since colorful hair was quite a common sighting in the city of Valoran.

A frown etched itself on her face as she withdrew her phone from her pocket, her thumb swiping over her contacts until it stopped over one particular number she rarely called. Although an international call was considered the most expensive call option and that it'd end up significantly hurting her phone bill, KaiʼSa didn't bother to care as she finally added the needed details before pressing the 'Call' icon.

The first ring passed, but before the second one could even ring halfway, the person picked up and finally answered. A deep and slightly husky voice of a man spoke through the small speaker of the phone, and hearing such brought a warm feeling to the dancer.

"Hartlam?"

"Papa?" KaiʼSa started, suddenly feeling her eyes sting with withheld tears. She never thought hearing her father's nickname for her would make her feel this much emotion. "Are you busy?"

"Not at all!" Her father, Kassadin, instantly replied, his speech shifting into a concerned tone. "Is there something wrong? I know that tone of yours, KaiʼSa."
