Laying beneath the engine-propelled fan. It's too hot for this coming summer; end of spring.
A sleek, dark ground eye row quirked up at the mention of the exoskeleton and the portable power source. The exoskeleton could be deemed a medical advancement to help those who truly need it, and the power source would be usable on any type of power loss. " I would need to see these sketches-
If it were up to * ๐ต๐ถ๐บ , Mel's qualities were nothing short of remarkable โ intelligent , resourceful , and undeniably talented . Each compliment that came to mind only reinforced the usual , calculating gaze into one which softened in admiration .
โAnimal? Well, that is a true conundrum you put me in, Councilor Talis.โ Her fingers drummed against her arms, contemplation on her face. โHmm....โ
` What kind of animal do you think I would be ? I know it sounds trivial , but I am curious . ๐ง `
โGenerosity? Come now, Mr. Talis, certainly you find me more kindhearted than that.โ As her paces kept about the messy lab and taking not of his own personal organized mess, Mel heard the movement of the chair as her eyes blinked in utter surprise at his chivalry. Of course he would. The lady-
The laboratory was a sprawling with abandoned innovations , cluttered with the remains of past ideas . Glimmering feathers in one corner , rusty scrap metal in another , and an unfinished prototype of mining tools left to gather dust on another desk .
Seeing the newly appointed counselor enjoy her food, Mel took it upon herself to go for a stroll around his rather messy lab, with all of the mechanical feathers that obviously belong to Tocker. โBaking was one of those skills that was seen as most unbecoming of a strong Medarda. I-
` Temporarily , depends on the person but there is a high chance that they'll be extremely tired afterwards . ` And yet, he didnt hesitate to grab one and take a bite โ satisfied with the given treats .
โIt's only four. Besides, some people seem to think that sugar boosts productivity.โ
( * โจ ) Thank you , Mel . I was getting a bit hungry โ . . . Is there an occasion I should know about ? What's with all the cupcakes ?
Looking at the bird, the Councilwoman offered her arm as a perch should the turquoise avian deem her safe to land. โStealing your books; what a little scholar. A regular Socrates. He has a thirst for knowledge, admirable.โ
` Tocker โโ- that's the best name I could think of considering he sounds like a ticking clock . ` And his left wing is always bit squeaky, but Talis will be doing the repairs afterwards. He just seems so eager to show her this โ-
โA canvas of colors; though some colors may oppose each other and dont don't mix all too well, but when together in a similar space? They make art.โ The golden fox knew how to sew her words like the art she created to being attention to his worries. โThey will see the importance of what you-
` He leans more on his personal standing โ ` Jayce noted , taking in the nuances of the council . It has been atleast a day or two since he was appointed as the eighth , most seem displeased but enforced a smile to keep face .
โSalo throws temper tantrum like a petulant child who has had all of his toys taken away and doesn't understand the meaning that this can't be done or this isn't how things will go.โ Standing up slowly and keeping his hand in her own, Mel walked the man of progress towards her current opus. -
The way she moved towards him with grace and a knowing gaze instantly softened his troubled heart . Jayce was distracted, his thoughts consumed by worries and responsibilities , but her touch held a sense of intimacy that immediately disarmed him .
Daily reminder to everyone that eating the gemstone may cause indigestion and possible organ implosion !
โMore mind-numbing diplomacy. Well, I do realize that everything we do is for the city; can't there ever be a break on trying to progress on top of progress?โ
โIt's not all just on you, Jayce.โ Eloquent as always, the Medarda knelt before the man adorned in ivory and gold and wore a confidant smile on her face. โHextech is yours to keep stable. This is true. But as far as funding and everything else goes, you can only manage it so far. You and Viktor-
And there it was again , that familiar sense of guilt that ๐๐ก๐ฎ๐ซ๐ง๐๐ within him like a bitter bile . The mounting pressure of his new position weighed heavily on him , making sleep elusive as he wrestled with his thoughts . ๐ouncilor Talis . ( ๐ฌ )
โI think...โ The sound of metal against wood as her painting spatula was rested to the paiting palette. Mel stepped back from the color covered canvas as she admired and critiqued the flow of her technique. โI believe that a mother, a good mother, see the negative and positive to every choice-
`` ๐๐ขโ๐ฉ๐ข .. Don't remind me . . `` Jayce chuckled , a nervous breath escaping his lips as he delved deeper into his thoughts . He thought of Viktor , his inventions , the intricate world of politics โ

โNeed a break?โ A wrly tone against the voice of the young councilwoman; her eyes darted over her shoulder with a rather intuitive smirk. โWords hardly becoming of your new position, Inventor Talis. Or should I say Councilor? Your workload will be multiplying by vast numbers soon.โ As the paint-
`` I'd be shock if he didn't figure it out by now . `` Uncertainty in his tone , his gaze would falter from her painting, his hand mildly fidgeting from his anxious disposition . `` He's not the only one who disappears during the day โโ ``
โYou know, they will start to catch on that you aren't here on business relations. And by they, I mean Viktor, @hcxtechdream.bsky.social.โ
Her face was freckled with traces of gold as a reminder of the activities from the night prior. The expression on her face was that of content satisfaction, and eyes remained closed to feel the calloused fingertips and all their intimacy on her face. โSore in a few places.โ, Mel responded with a-
Once Jayce had finally collected the clothes from the floor and changed into his own attire , he regarded her with a more relaxed ๐๐๐ง๐ . The uncertainty that had been simmering in his heart now replaced with a sense of ๐๐๐ ๐ .
Slumber was a beautiful thing, seeing as the night before adored them and decorated their room with piles of clothes. Mel was in a peaceful rest with her hair freely for the readjusting one she woke; until then, she rolled into the spot of warmth that was once inhabited by her dearest Jayce. Head-
In an instant , Jayce jolted awake, his body still aching from the previous night's festivities . Yet , the thought of their ๐ช๐ฅ๐๐ค๐ข๐๐ฃ๐ trip and vacation brought a small smile to his face . He shuffled around the apartment , scanning the surroundings for their luggage .
That was a fact. Piltover and Zaun will always share a distaste of certain things, Jayce being the one thing they shared. But wasn't there blame to be spread? A talk for another time. โSend a note to Isha, my love. She will know what to do. Consider her your Zaun Liaison. The little one is-
`` I cannot be for certain but it's like running an adoption center for them. `` Tone thoughtful as he waved away the parakeet that was curiously pecking at the collar of his shirt . While she was distracted -
โAnd how will you make sure they are given to the right children?โ All of this? None of this could have been made possible without Isha; that little girl had such a vast and colorful heart. She wanted her home to be more like home, a dream that Mel and Jayce were invested in.-
The way she carefully held one of his creations soothed Jayce's soul . He had once crafted his inventions with the intent of proving the potential of a better world , even though his own perception of magic is now in scrutiny - her influence reminded him of its profound impact .
