“Arak, eh?” He asked. He made a loud, but brief, whistle, and a man in fine attire rushed over, looking up at Sett with wide eyes, only to meet Sett’s specialty grin, showing off his devastatingly sharp fangs.

“Get the girl a glass of Arak, halved.” He ordered, “And get me a Bilgewater Blood Rum.”

The man nodded and rushed off, and he turned his attention to Taliyah once again.

“Now, tell me… Why Ionia? Why come so far from your homeland?” He wouldn’t lie.. even he got curious about the few people who proved themselves to be exceptionally different.

Taliyah  stayed  unwavering  through  the  loud  whistle ,  more  interested  on  what  this  guy  was  up  to .  Most  hardly  give  her  a  second  glance  if  she  was  in  Ionian  fashion ,  which  she  is ,  so  what’s  his  deal ?  Is  Sett  as  curious  as  her ?

As  the  man  walked  off ,  Taliyah  gave  him  a  quick  “ Thank  you ”  before  responding  to  The  Boss .

“ Simple .  My  master  is  here .  I  traveled  quite  a  bit  to  find  someone  to  teach  me  when  I  was  sixteen ,  and  I  finally  found  a  man  who  could  do  it .  Yes ,  he  may  be  a  drunk ,  but  he  was  the  best  I  had .  Shurima’s  needs  separated  us ,  and  I  left  to  fight  the  corrupted  ascended ,  Xerath .  However ,  I’m  still  not  all  that  stable . ”

Her  hazel  eyes  glanced  from  side  to  side  before  standing  on  her  tip  toes ,  a  mischievous  glint  in  her  eyes .  “ Keep  it  between  you  and  me ,  but  the  emperor  Azir  looks  more  like  a  glorified  chicken  than  a  leader . ”  She  whispered  playfully .

It wasn’t like this was the safest place in the world--In fact, quite the opposite, unless someone had Sett’s heavy hand resting upon their shoulder, and he wanted to make sure they were safe. Then even Jarvan Lightshield the Fourth, with his closest confidant and bodyguard beside him wouldn’t be half as safe as the one beside the infamous Half-beast.

And as he set his hand on her shoulder, a heavy weight, but not crushing, she was put right on that list. Until he decided otherwise, at least.

“Eh, it’s not an Ionian thing. And don’t worry too much, doll. It’s more of an... acquired taste.” He grinned, leaning forward a bit, hunching to lessen the size difference, at least somewhat.

“Don’t worry ‘bout that. What’s a little scrap of a thing like you doing here? Get caught by the wrong person, and you’ll end up in the cart. Unless you have a trick up your sleeve...”

Clinging onto something else ? What was Sett afraid of — a drunk gremlin hugging his leg ? The thought of that made Taliyah giggle quietly , a hand reaching up to rest an index finger on her lip . No , she won't do that . Sett looks scary .

" Little Pebble ? " She questioned with a grin . He definitely didn't look like someone who uses nicknames . . . Oh , wait . He goes by The Boss .

" Erm . . . I usually stick to wine or watered-down arak . I'm a light weight . . . But that shouldn't be a shock , given my size . " Her eyes then shot up to meet his own . What was his intentions ?

Well , that wasn't expected . Taliyah blinked a bit before she responded .

" Well , I haven't had a drink for a while . Last time I did was with . . . General Swain ? " Ah , yes , drinks in Noxus . That was a long night , let me tell you that . The young adult smiled nervously , hands falling in her lap .

" The only problem is I get clingy . If you don't mind me holding your arm , then I see no issue . "

Taliyah couldn't help but let the smile turn mischievous . Oh , it was always hilarious , being thought as nothing but a little girl . In reality , she fought a rogue ascended one at the age of 16 , with little proper training .

Defending herself was always fun , but Taliyah doesn't want to boast .

" Sett ? Hm . . . Reminds me of Seth . My name is Taliyah ! You're big . And fluffy . " Once again , the Shuriman eyed him . Not for the heck of it , but to study him . A moment or two later , Taliyah smiled , offering her hand . He got her trust . For now .

" It's nice to meet you . "

Taliyah  was  always  amazed  by  tall  people .  More  specifically ,  their  hands .  Call  it  whatever  you  want ,  but  it’s  just  so  interesting .  Hell ,  his  palm  could  probably  cover  her  whole  face !  Yeah ,  her  attention  was  split  as  he  spoke .

Taliyah  looked  up  suddenly ,  Sett’s  face  WAY  closer  than  it  just  was .  Wow ,  okay ,  personal  space .  Her  hazel  eyes  studied  him ,  silent  for  a  moment  or  two .  Was  this  a  person  she  should  trust ?  After  all ,  he  did  do  a  LOT  of  damage  earlier . . .  Oh ,  whatever .  She  can  fend  for  herself .

To  answer  Sett’s  question ,  Taliyah  just  smiled  innocently .  “ The  arena  is  made  of  stone ,  by  the  look  of  it .  I  can  protect  myself .  “  Taking  a  look  around ,  the  Shuriman  just  hummed .  “ I  wanted  to  know  what  people  were  talking  about .  You’re  the  Boss ,  no ?  “

God of War starters ☆ Still Accepting!

This was all so strange . Earlier that day , the Shuriman woman heard people muttering in the streets . They were speaking of a man— no , a half man , half wolf abomination .

While she never really trusts words on the street , Taliyah always has been just a bit too curious .

The show was rather unnerving . Taliyah has a sensitive soul , and unnecessary violence was never something she enjoys . Most of the time , her face was covered or her eyes were closed . Can you blame her though ?

Going there was a mistake , she knows now . At the end of the brutal show , Taliyah was getting ready to leave . To forget this place ever existed , and continue to explore the magic lands of Ionia . However , a deep voice caught her attention .

Startled , the freckled girl turned suddenly . There , she went face to . . . Abs with a tall man . The one in the ring , presumably called 'The Boss' .

Taliyah stared at the Boss with wide eyes , hardly registering what he had said . Jesus , he's big . . . Clearing her voice , Taliyah's hazel eyes glanced up at the man . Vastaya ? You know what I mean .

Clearing her throat , Taliyah finally responded . " I am- ! Shurima is very different . Less . . . Bloodshed . " With her accent heavy , Taliyah sent him a nervous smile . Trying her very best to ignore the blood on his knuckles . " Are you hurt ? "
