Taliyah has adhd. I don't know if you could tell or not(probably could), but I'm just saying this right now!
Taliyah is weak herself, since she can rely on her magic. Demacia though... That scares her. However, this doesn't apply to Noxian Taliyah, The Forsaken Taliyah, or Adventure Time Taliyah. All three have been trained to fight and prefer weapons like knives or swords.
Her favorite colors are red, orange, and yellow. Don't @ her, she just enjoys it!
Taliyah prefers the night sky. It's so beautiful, ya know? Dusted with millions of stars... Take her out to go star gazing and she'll love you forever
If you're lucky enough, Taliyah might sing to you. Or you might walk in on her singing to herself... Either or, it's definitely a show.
What does he mean he won't wear it ? The young woman pouted heavily as she stared at her husband . " Oh , please , Ekks ? I wear whatever you ask me to ! Just this once ? Please ? "
Speaking of that golden dress , it hung on her , the garnet jewels sparkling in the soft candle light from mere feet away . The skulls , real or not , gave off this sheen . The shuriman's whole body did , the stench of alcohol and blood of the room almost overpowering her warm vanilla . Oh , meetings always had such surprises , especially ones with the Damnation .
Continuation from x ◇ @corvoimperiale
If that was supposed to be an insult , Taliyah didn't quite catch it . Her hands felt around her bag for a moment or two before pulling out a petoskey stone .
" Rocks are really neat . " With that said , she offered the stone to the general , shining a smile . Oh , to be a fool .
@sire-crownguard :
He couldn’t help but sigh a little, smiling at her own stuttering and stumbling over her own words. She was truly doing her best, he knew this much, but many foreigners were wise enough to not go to Demacia when magic flowed through their veins.
Or, at least, they had the guts to risk it. For a moment, he idly wondered which it could’ve been, but seeing her face… how could he doubt? Her expression was so… innocent. Something he has not seen in a long, long time…
“Well, then let’s not worry about that for now.” He reassured, that same, gentle smile keeping itself upon his face. “You needn’t fuss too much, I’ll ensure you’re in a good state before I’ll leave your company. I can only imagine your… confusion, a harsh welcome like that in a new land is going to leave you a little frazzled.”
He gently pushed her hand back down. “Don’t worry about that for now. As for the time being, I’ll pay for your current expenses. It is… the least i can do, to apologize for your treatment.” He reassured. “… I, uh… yes. We are quite differently sized, after all.”
… Awkward was an understatement. Why would she point out such a trivial thing?
“Instead of dealing with that… how about we go get something to eat? I’m off duty by now, regardless… It’ll be my treat.”
Taliyah couldn’t help but let out a sigh . Her hazel eyes examined his face for a moment . He looked kind . Very kind . Does she deserve this ? There wasn’t a reason she should turn down his offer , so . . .
“ Thank you , Garen . Say , what are some foods you eat here ? Shuriman meals are different - even the cities Noxus controls in Shurima are unique to both countries . Kinda like a blend of both countries ! “
Ah , there she goes , ranting about whatever her mind thought about . Innocence . That’s what Garen calls it , right ? It’s more like ignorance . If ignorance is bliss , she’s on a dangerous level of bliss . The amount good in the world she sees is but a figment of her imagination . To be like this comes with a price .
Hers just happen to be ptsd .
Was Taliyah too trusting ? Was this too soon ? Her smile slowly fell , thoughts running wild . Last time she trusted people this quickly . . . That wasn’t fun .
“ A-Are you sure you don’t want me to help pay ? I have a decent amount in my bag , “ The freckled girl mumbled . She forced a nervous smile , hand reaching up to tuck a lock of hair behind her pierced ear . “ I’m sorry for acting weird , “ She apologized quickly .

For Taliyah:
The gentle physical affection... Getting to subtly show your love to the world... Feeling that new puppy love no matter how long you've been together... You want a love that is sweet and gentle, where every date you go on feels like your first. You want to be showered in romantic gestures, to be praised and adored, for every moment to be worthy of saving in your internal scrapbook. You want every kiss to be a memory. Although an admirable goal, it is important to keep in mind that love is not always easy, and occasionally requires some effort. Although you should never endure abuse or neglect, it is normal for relationships to have bumps in the road; do not treat these bumps like mountains.
For Lexie:
Long nights full of yearning and fantasies... Intimate secrets you'd be embarrassed to say out loud... Passionately reuniting once again... You want a love that is desperate and passionate, you want someone that will make you feel like you’re living a romance novel. You want to feel the fire burning in your chest when you see them. You want every touch to feel like fireworks, and to discover something new about them every day. While this addicting fire can be fun to chase, try not to drop every lover once the flame seems to have died down. Sometimes the most intense burn comes from the fire you continue to kindle, and it is worth it to settle in front of a hearth.

Gosh , even his words were elegant . It's fine to feel intimidated , right ? Doesn't matter . Either way , Taliyah is staring at him with amazement . The gaze was short lived , though , glancing away for courtesy(and whatever image she had left) .
" The only thing I've tried was Ionian green tea . What makes fine Noxian wine different from fine Ionian wine ? "
If Taliyah was a cat , curiosity would have killed her years ago .
This . . . Was not the situation Taliyah had imagined she'd get herself in .
It had all started so innocent ! It's really hard for her to believe that saving one clumsy kid from falling onto the hard ground would get her cuffed , yet here we are . A mage , clothes bright enough for everyone to know she was a foreigner , being grabbed at and shoved down the dull-looking streets of Demacia . Taliyah doesn't understand what she did to deserve such treatment ! Maybe the Noxians on the ship were right . . . Maybe she should've avoided Demacia at all costs .
The young woman thought deeply , her chocolate eyes glancing towards the parting crowd . Looks of fear and hatred was all Taliyah saw . Fear , hatred , and . . . Sadness . Now THAT was a huge red flag . " What are you doing - ? ! What'd I even do ? ! You - You can't be serious ! " " Silence , woman , " was the only response she had gotten from the questions . Well , that and a dirty glare .
The guards around her came to a halt , Taliyah tearing her attention to whatever had stopped the now saluting guards . Or . . . Whoever . A tall , masculine man stood there infront of the three . Maybe even Taliyah's savior ! A glimmer of hope filled her mind . Maybe . . . Maybe HE would understand how ridiculous this is ? Whoever this man was , he had power . That must mean he's reasonable and smart ! Right ?
Taliyah stared at Ekko for a moment or two before snatching his red glasses . The Shuriman put them on then ran onto the stage .
A big fuck you .
"Ekko, stop messing with my hair. We're about to go on stage!" *embarrassed bass player noises*
" And what if I don't want to ? "
Taliyah was curious . Always has been , always will be . And you know what always got her ? Suspicious notes , asking to see her in the graveyard past midnight . Ahri had warned Taliyah , but . . .
The young woman was already there . Standing at the gates of the cemetery , Tali heard something . The faintest chords of a guitar . Without a second thought , she took out her sword and cut the chains . That , along with the lock , fell onto the damp , foggy ground .
With a screech , the gate slowly opened , showing just how foggy it was . However , that's always the case in Aaa . The adventurer began to walk further into the nothingness , listening for the strum of a guitar . Without a doubt , it was Ekko .
With each quick step , the song became clearer and clearer . A voice soon joined in , and then there he was . The vampire king , floating mindlessly while strumming . . . Yet Taliyah did nothing to make her presence known . Instead , she sat on the headstone of someone long dead , chocolate eyes watching innocently .
