Captured Assassin

It did not take long for him to figure out something was amiss.
Little things, perhaps, things that many would simply not notice, that would slip their mind, but as the Prince of Demacia itself, he was required to be far more observant, any mistake on his behalf was to lead to his own demise. And while he did not believe he feared death, it was a matter that he was not privileged with the chance to be so careless, as too many lives remained on his shoulders.
It was as simple as he was not yet allowed to die.
Keep reading

Talon glared up at the prince - he knew who he was, of course, but that did not afford him any more repsect than the average person. No, any who was not his master would not recieve any respect from him. He was a Noxian, after all, and one who served the family of du Couteau...! He was obedient and obeyed only one. 

“...Zhǎo,” he said softly. He averted his gaze quietly, shrinking upon himself to make himself smaller. Perhaps the prince could believe he was not a Noxian - not an assassin, at the very least - and release him. But...

What would he do, then? The General would not be pleased to know he had been captured, by a Demacian of all people. His wrath would be great. Perhaps, he would even... 

“My name is Zhǎo.”

Talon watched in disbelief as the prince leant down to undo his bindings himself - did he not fear Talon’s retaliation? Or was he just so arrogant that he thought he could be so close, and touch him, without being harmed? He held as still as he could, his heart a rabbit jumping in his chest as he watched - flinching, as Jarvan’s fingers came too close to the scars upon his ankles. Upon his wrists. 

“...Will you execute me, now?”

Was that not the fate of all Noxians within these walls?

For a moment, he didn’t move, motionless as a million thoughts raced through his head, he taking a low, deep breath, trying to calm himself, if not only slightly.
“I don’t want to fight.” He said, his voice very low, trying to calm the other. “I won’t even ask about your name, or your intentions… I will only ask: Are you injured? If you are… I want to help. But you need to let me.”

Talon was silent as he stared at the stranger - a guard of the royal family, if he was to guess from his armour alone. Yet the arrow buried in his side - the shaft broken off as far as he could manage so as not to hinder his movement - kept him here. In enemy territory, impaired and unable to protect himself properly. 

He did not trust this man. He could not. He knew the cost of trusting too easily. 

Talon hissed softly. 

“I do not... I do not need help...”

Or, if he was being entirely honest: I know this is a trap.

Talon hissed in pain as he stared up at the stranger. Quietly, he placed his blade between them, his hand shaking with exertion. Darkness danced at the corner of his vision, but he refused to falter. He would not die here in Demacia.

"Leave..."

For a moment, he stared at the wound, brows furrowed… He knew he couldn’t take too long to contemplate but… Would he…? He… He would have to. His chest hurt at the idea, but he did what he needed to.
He held out a hand. “Grab my hand. Squeeze as hard as you can when you’re in pain… I need to rip it out. Do you trust me? I’ll rip it out and patch you up. Promise.” He offered a meek smile… Time was of the essence.

Talon’s brows furrowed as he looked up at the stranger. Hesitantly, he nodded, meekly reaching out to take his hand. 

“Okay...”

He would run as soon as he was able, of course.

For a long moment he thought, letting out a soft hum. “Well, there’s a few. An older one that lost one of his hind legs, another which we took from a bad home. She warms up to people after awhile but still… Scared, a kitten which was rejected from its mother… Is that the sort of thing you were looking for?”

Talon smiled. 

“Yes, precisely. They will have a family to take care of them when I bring them back.”

Ezreal was reluctant to tell the stranger about his mission. The Academy often asked him to “scout” around major cities to look for those with potential to join. It was one of those duties that an alumni needed to fulfill. But telling this man that he was “looking for talented recruits for the Durandal God-Weapon Academy” probably wouldn’t bring the most enthusiastic response.
“Well, I’m not from around here…” He motioned to himself and chuckled. “If you couldn’t tell.”
He pointed down the street. “I was just looking for a tavern to maybe grab some food, but it’ll be hard to find one in this rain! Do you know of any place nearby? Maybe I can run over there.”

Talon tilted his head as he looked toward the stranger. Did he not know not to trust any Noxian? That they wanted nothing more than to advance themselves, in any way possible? What a fool indeed. 

He snorted quietly as he thought, before catching himself. 

“I think... there may be a tavern just down this road,” he replied. “Perhaps we should go together. It can be dangerous here, particularly as it gets late.”

It was rare he was thankful for his lack of proper vision, as it allowed for him to navigate in places where those fully capable with seeing failed. It was a game of extremes, but in life, everything was extreme, now wasn’t it?
What lie before him did not prove to disprove him in the slightest. He knew he was big–and thus, intimidating, but he cared little for the Noxian apparel of the other in this moment, only that he was injured.
“Hey–I won’t hurt you. I just-just want to get that arrow out of you and to bind your injury.. Can you just take a deep breath for me? I want to help, but you have to let me.”

Talon whimpered quietly. He knew he could only rely upon the stranger for assistance. That he could not afford to do anything else, because he was bleeding out too badly. 

He nodded. 

“O- okay...”

His voice was so terribly quiet and pitiful.

“… Less readily liked… Well, depends what you mean by that. Do you mean cats that tend to be less affectionate or accepting of a new person? Or do you mean the ones that tend to be overlooked? I understand some go hand in hand, but… depends what you desire.”

“I would like a cat that is... any or all of those,” Talon replied softly. “I only want... to offer a good home to those who otherwise may not be... loved as they deserve.”

They looked around for a moment, anxious that they were seconds from being ambushed, they turning their gaze to stare at the other, nothing short of pleading.
“Please, I just need help. Just.. Give me somewhere to hide, just for a little bit, I’ll-I’ll give you whatever you want. I-I just need help.”

Talon shrugged. It seemed they would die soon enough. Perhaps it would be more merciful to simply end their life...? It was not something he was a stranger to - not by any means at all. 

Pathetic. 

“There is a place around the corner.” His tone was dismissive.

A soft purr from their throat, they looked up at the other, seeing how panicked he was in this moment, their purr a meek attempt to help calm him, the blade in their hand was promptly dropped, it clattering down to the ground with abandon.
“Hey… hey… I… I don’t want to fight. Please… Can we talk this out…?” It wasn’t the easiest to speak and purr at the same time, but they made an effort to keep themselves quiet.

Talon tilted his head as he looked upon the stranger. It was odd, to hear another human who could purr as he did. He had not planned on harming the other, yet seeing their panic now made him suspicious - was it an act to catch him off guard, or was it truly how they felt? He needed more information.. 

“...What do you want?” His voice was quiet as he spoke. “I don’t have business with you.”

A small huff from the man. It was… a little funny. Of course he would make no other comment on the other’s excitement.
“Well… what kind of cat? Larger, smaller? And specifics at all?”

Talon tilted his head as he considered his options. He adored all cats, after all, and being so cruel as to make a selection based upon preferences was not something he found he could do easily. 

“...Do you have a cat that is... That isn’t readily liked by others?”
