Synopsis:

Luxanna could smile all she wanted, but Jinx had a feeling that the popstar's mental breakdown era was long overdue.

. . .

"I don't like this," Ekko said warily, his shoulders curled inward as he stepped into the warehouse. His footsteps echoed in the cavernous space, whispering against the pale stone walls and wavering in the empty air. Pausing a few meters from the door, he scanned their desolate surroundings and added, "We shouldn't be the only ones here."

With far less circumspection, Jinx tossed her duffel bag, letting it hit the concrete floor with a resounding clank. Surveying the same broad floor and dusty walls, she broke into a broad grin, defiant of her companion’s worries. "Are you kidding? This is perfect!" Kneeling next to her bag, she dug noisily through the pockets. "No nosy producers to yak about how we're doing shit wrong. Complete artistic freedom!" Once she found her tape measure, Jinx leaped to her feet and darted to one of the side-walls. The smack of her boots rang out like falling shale.

Ekko followed her, shaking his head. "If the producers don't get their word in from the start, they'll just ask us to redo our work later," he warned. "But, honestly... I'm more worried about why they're not here. Don't you think it's weird that they've been so hands-off?"

"What..." Jinx arrived at the wall, brushing an appraising hand over the exposed stonework. "...do you think they all died or something?"

"No! I just think this feels like some sort of scam. Professionals are never like this."

With a snort of laughter, Jinx gave the stonework a fond pat before pulling at her measuring tape. "They'd have to be a pretty dumb scammer, wiring us all our fees in advance. I've got next year's rent in the bag, and I haven't even had to sweat for it yet!" She poked the end of the her tape to Ekko's chest. "You worry too much, Little Man. Now, hold this!"

Ekko accepted the tape. He pressed the metal tab at the end flush to the wall. "If we get mugged here, I'm blaming you."

"If some Demacian tries to mug us, we'll show 'em how sump-rats kick ass!"

Jinx darted with the other end of the measuring-tape to the opposite wall. At her back, she heard Ekko offer one last grumble of suspicion.

"If the client we spoke with over the phone had at least told us who we're building this set for, I'd feel a lot better about this."

. . .

By the time Jinx and Ekko had finished measuring their workspace, the street in front of the warehouse had woken. The burble of chatter and clatter of foot-traffic fluttered through the walls, creating a bustling ambiance that made their surroundings feel more alive. These signs of life seemed to put Ekko at ease. Jinx was pleased that he no longer complained about sketchy directors as they settled onto the floor to review their design notes.

"Since the client wants to start with concept shots before gettin’ decisive on scenes, let's give her variety," Jinx proposed. "I'm thinking we should set up a different style in each corner of the room."

Ekko nodded. "And let’s put a stage in the room's center, something that'll combine elements from the four corners. That way, the client can see how they compare side-by-side."

"Yeah!"

"Now, about the styles to showcase. She said she wants a grungy, street-art vibe. She liked the authentic feel of the intro to Seraphine's Downriver music video..."

At the mention of the Downriver video, Jinx felt a spark of pride. It was the biggest project she'd worked on, the gig that had put both hers and Ekko's set design skills on the map. She always felt good when she thought about it.

Downriver was also the first time she and Ekko had collaborated on a set, unless you counted a childishly-rendered music video they'd cobbled together in middle school. Only Jinx's sister and Vander had been nice enough to watch that old trainwreck. Nevertheless, it was a good memory…

… One of few good memories they'd made before life had gotten complicated.

In high school, Jinx’s mental health had taken a steep nose-dive. After some fits of violence, injuries to Ekko's friends, and a stint in juvie, she’d become isolated and angry. If Vi hadn't practically dragged her to a psychologist and made her commit to therapy and meds, Jinx might not have escaped the dark pit she’d been spiraling into.

After she'd regained a decent measure of stability, blind luck had guided her and Ekko down the same career path, reuniting them on the set of Downriver. Their reunion was rough. Ekko had seemed ready to quit when Jinx showed up, but after some awkward-as-hell apologies that Jinx's therapist had helped her script, plus a less-scripted confession that "life had been a bitch since she'd got fucked sideways by her own dumb brain and she wished she hadn't kicked all her goddamn friendships into hell," Ekko had hesitantly agreed to try and work with her.

Their artistic chemistry had been incredible, and after Downriver came out, they'd been hit with offers from several studios to collaborate on more work. As much as Jinx enjoyed creative freedom, it felt good to have a friend to work beside.

“… Obviously, we can’t put a whole river in this warehouse, but I’m thinking we should imitate the dockside in Downriver,” Ekko continued, starting to scrawl some notes onto a blank sheet. “Weathered wood walls, rusty railing, some boxes and barrels. We can spice it up by carving pictures into the wood, maybe nailing up some old ripped posters…”

“And we’ll need fog machines!” Jinx chimed in eagerly, bouncing in her seat. “Gotta have fog to get the river’s vibe!”

“Yeah, that’d be a good touch.” Ekko titled his scrap paper SET #1 - DOCKS.

Glancing at each of the room’s corners in turn, Jinx suggested, “If they want street art, we’ve gotta have a graffiti corner. Brickwork and neon paint.” After a moment’s thought, she added, “We might even wanna have two graffiti corners. One Zaun-style, one Demacia-style.”

Ekko raised an eyebrow. “Does Demacia have graffiti? Every street I've seen has been spotless, even the alleys.”

“Then we’ll show ‘em what Demacia-style grafitti ought to look like!” Jinx gestured to the stone walls. “Instead of puttin’ up false brick walls, we’ll leave the stone exposed, since they use the same gray rock in all the buildings around here. We can focus on murals instead of words, paint stuff like their native trees and mountains and shit. Maybe the sun and moon? Didn’t the director say one of the video’s big themes would be light and darkness?”

“She did. Speaking of which, I think we’ll want sheer lighting for all four corners, bright spotlights, tall props to cast interesting shadows…” Trailing off, Ekko frowned, glancing at one of the walls.

Jinx followed Ekko’s gaze to the featureless wall, wondering if he’d spotted something she wasn't seeing. Then, she picked up a sound that she’d missed from being so tuned-in to set design.

Some people outside the warehouse were having a loud argument.

“… need you to stop being…”

“… not immature, I’ve been trying to tell you…”

“… can’t fathom what you think you’re accomplishing by…”

“… living my own life, Garen! I can’t…”

“… your family, your country, your own image, and if you can’t see how…”

“… how everything our family wants is right, and everything I want is foolish?”

Jinx and Ekko exchanged a glance. “Yikes,” Jinx said.

Ekko sighed. “One of those voices sounds a lot like the client.”

“Then make that a double yikes,” Jinx amended, staring after the unseen voices as they stomped closer to the warehouse’s back door.

Rather than approaching from the babbling street, the quarrelers were coming from a private alley behind the building. The back door swung open with an agonized squeal and banged against the wall. A man and woman entered the room, alike enough in the set of their angry faces that Jinx guessed they were related - siblings, her gut insisted, recalling her turbulent relationship with her own sister.

The man was broad-shouldered and imposing, sporting a heavy scowl like a soldier confronted with an enemy. The woman was taller than Jinx, but still not up to her brother's looming height. Nevertheless, she wasn't cowed by her brother’s displeasure, keeping her own brow furrowed and her hands closed tightly at her sides.

“All my life,” the woman seethed, not seeming to notice that Jinx and Ekko were present, “I’ve been the perfect doll of a good Demacian that you and the others have wanted me to be. I’ve put up the act, put on the show! I feel like I’ve been wearing a mask ever since I was ten!”

The woman might not have noticed her company, but the man did, his eyes going wide as he spotted them. “Luxanna…”

“Don’t cut me off!” The woman’s red-hot glare remained trained on the man. “I never had a choice in what the family made of me! No one asked me if I wanted to be on a stage...”

“Luxanna…”

“… but if I have to keep doing this, then for once in my life, I’m going to do it my way!”

“Luxanna, we are no longer in private!” the man hissed.

This statement halted the woman’s rant. She stood still for a moment, her eyes still fixed on the man and her breathing heavy, before slowly turning to face Jinx and Lux.

Well, fuck, Jinx thought to herself. I guess we’re working with an angry, shout-y client for this gig.

However, to Jinx's pleasant surprise, the woman's glower disappeared. In the blink of an eye, she'd fronted a placid smile which made her look as if she’d never been mad a day in her life. Hell, she looked like the happiest person in Runeterra! She spoke with a pleasant, sunshine-y voice which seemed at odds with the temper she’d sported seconds before. “You’re here – good! Garen, these are the set designers I hired to work on my new music video. Jinx, Ekko, welcome to Demacia!”

“Um…” Jinx was caught off guard by the woman's sudden warmth, but she recovered quickly. “Thanks! I'm lookin' forward to painting a splash of Zaun on your shiny city!”

Beside her, Ekko was having some trouble reacting. His eyes were wide and his mouth slightly agape as he stared at the new arrivals.

At the door, the man let out a heavy sigh. “I apologize,” he said slowly, wielding a more demanding edge to his tone than his sister. “I’m afraid the music video you’ve been hired for has been canceled.”

“It has not been canceled,” The woman corrected immediately, still chipper-toned and smiling.

The man closed his eyes, lips twitching as if he were counting out a long breath. “I’ll make sure you’re compensated for your travel, as well as any time you’ve spent planning…”

“I’ve already paid them in full up-front,” the woman told him cheerfully.

“… and I hope you can remain professional and not spread word of this canceled operation,” the man stated through gritted teeth.

“I look forward to seeing your work!” the woman’s smile stretched ever wider.

Jinx felt tempted to laugh. While it sucked to find out that her latest project was in jeopardy, she couldn’t help but find the blithe way this blonde chick contradicted her brother amusing. Jinx respected a gal who could one-up her sibling with a smile.

Since Ekko still looked too shell-shocked to provide input, Jinx cleared her throat. "Well, seein' as how I've already been paid, I think I'd better keep doing the thing I was paid for." She aimed a playful salute at the woman. "You've got the reins, boss!"

The man shot Jinx a look that was cold and... surprised? It made complete sense that Jinx would side with the woman who'd paid her, didn’t it?

Then again, behind her fronted smile, Jinx thought she saw a flicker of surprise on her client's face, too. Maybe the woman was used to her big brother winning their arguments.

Raising a hand, the man pinched the bridge of his nose. He looked every bit like he was about to wage war against a headache. “I would appreciate,” he ground out, “if the pair of you would leave so that I can speak to my sister in private.”

“We can speak in the alley,” The woman told her brother. “This is their workspace.”

“You can’t possibly think I’ll let you continue this project now that I’ve found out about it.”

Jinx didn't miss the spark which passed through the woman’s placid eyes. It was subtle. Jinx had a feeling that the woman was well-practiced at hiding negative emotions, but Jinx had a keen sense for hidden rage, and she felt the woman's ire like an itch under her skin.

“You can’t possibly think I’ll let you stop me,” the woman said smoothly, maintaining her bright tone even as her words betrayed her defiance. Flipping her hair back over her shoulder, she turned and walked back to the gaping door. As she passed through, her gaze flicked back - Jinx swore it landed on her for a fraction of a second. Something about the woman's parting grin made the phantom itchiness in Jinx's skin multiply, a feeling that lingered even after the woman slipped into the street and out of sight.

The man stayed put for a few seconds. Jinx thought she saw a vein pop out in his jaw as he ground his teeth. Then, with hardly a parting glance at Jinx and Ekko, he stormed out after his sister.

“We don’t do refunds!” Jinx belted as the door slammed shut.

All was quiet for several seconds, save for the unperturbed chatter from the street in front of the warehouse. Jinx rubbed a calloused palm over her arm, soothing the last dregs of her strange itch away. “Well,” She stated once enough hushed, thoughtful moments had passed, “That was weird.”

Ekko blinked. “Damn,” he said. “I’d heard a rumor about tensions in the Crownguard family, but… Wow.”

“The who?” Jinx stared at him quizzically. “Are those two from some famous family I’ve never heard of?”

Incredulous, Ekko raised both eyebrows at her. “The Crownguards,” he emphasized. “One of the most influential families in Demacia? You haven’t heard of them?”

Jinx shrugged. “This is my first time traveling further than Piltover. Never needed to know shit about Demacia.”

“Still,” he pressed, “You’ve at least heard of Luxanna, right?”

“Nope.” Tipping her head aside, Jinx asked, “Is she a big deal or something?”

. . .

Over the next several days, Jinx read up on her client and learned several things about Luxanna, including the fact that she was, in fact, a big deal.

Luxanna was Demacia’s Seraphine – maybe even bigger than Seraphine, considering the near-royal status her family held. The Crownguards mainly concerned themselves with politics, but had dabbled in other venues of bolstering their family image, like sculpting their bright-eyed, ever-smiling daughter into a popstar. Luxanna’s parents had first put her on a stage when she was ten, and she’d been Demacia’s radiant idol ever since.

Jinx learned that, although she wasn’t a politician, Luxanna presented her family’s ideals at the core of her brand. She was a symbol of Demacian pride and tradition. Many of her songs focused on themes of Demacia’s beauty, valor on the battlefield, and living with honor.

The music videos for Luxanna’s songs were recorded at national landmarks and sets strewn with symbolism of Demacia’s righteousness. They were always well-lit, complimenting the popstar’s sunny smile and bright, cheerful voice.

Oddly enough, her typical style of was the exact opposite of the grungy, shadow-strewn vision she’d expressed in her instructions to Jinx and Ekko. Considering how edgy Luxanna wanted this set to be, Jinx wondered if the lifelong star was preparing to enter her inevitable rebellious phase.

There were signs: The fight with her brother, the tense looks on the faces of her staff, and the tabloid rumors of family drama that Ekko kept telling Jinx about. Luxanna might be good at pasting on a smile, but Jinx could feel in her bones that Little-Miss-Sunshine was bottling up some serious frustration.

Jinx kinda pitied her. She’d heard enough stories about former-child-stars to know that fame never ended well for them. All that pressure to perform, so much exposure when their brains were still young and spongy… That had to mess a mind up! It was a miracle that Luxanna had held herself together into her twenties instead of spinning out of control back when she was a teen.

Luxanna could smile all she wanted, but Jinx had a feeling that the star's mental breakdown era was long overdue.

. . .

As days of concept design rolled on, Jinx learned something about the pitiable popstar that wasn’t mentioned in any of the tabloids.

Luxanna was a starer.

“Hey, Ekko… Have you noticed Little-Miss-Sunshine looking at us for… I dunno… A weirdly long time?”

Ekko adjusted the position of a wall of faux, foam brick without looking up. “We've talked about your habit of nicknaming our clients," he said.

Jinx rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah. Not professional. I'll only call her Little-Miss-Sunshine when she and her lackeys are on the other side of the room. But..."

"Remember how Seraphine's agent tried to punch you when you called her client Pinkie Pie?"

"I know, I know!"Jinx huffed an exasperated breath. "Anyway, back to my question. Weirdly attentive staring from the boss lady."

Ekko shrugged. "We’re building a set for her," he justified, unconcerned. "Of course she’s gonna watch. If her entourage would leave her alone for two seconds, she might even come over and tell us what she thinks of our work.”

Jinx shifted her weight, tapping a paint canister against her hip. “Yeah, but... I mean… I feel like she’s not looking at the set.”

Flicking her sights to the far corner of the room, Jinx saw the popstar seated in a folding chair next to the in-progress dock setup, propping an arm on one knee as she scrolled through something on her phone. A handful of agents and body guards were clustered around her, many of them chattering, trying to get her attention. Luxanna acknowledged them with eager nods and bright smiles, but her eyes...

... Jinx could swear she saw Luxanna's eyes slide sideways right when Jinx glanced over, as if she’d been watching Jinx and had only just looked away. A prickle ran over Jinx’s skin, and she scratched her arm with her free hand. “Do you ever feel like… y’know… her eyes are on you?” Jinx suggested. “Like she’s watching you, specifically?”

At this statement, Ekko gave Jinx a long, hard look. There was something cautious in the set of his eyes that made Jinx instantly feel uncomfortable. “Jinx,” he said in a carefully even tone, “don’t take this the wrong way, but… You’re still taking your meds, right? You didn’t leave them behind in Zaun?”

A flash of hurt rushed through Jinx. “Of course I’m taking them!” she snipped. “C’mon, you remember what I was like before I started ‘em! I’m not like that now! Do I look like I’m like that now?”

“Okay, okay!” Ekko held up a hand in a gesture for peace. “I just remember you saying that you used to feel like things were watching you before you started the pills. Do you think your body might be adjusting to the dosage? That you might need something stronger?”

“This isn’t about my stupid meds, or my brain,” Jinx groused. Then, after a moment’s though, she begrudgingly amended, “I mean, I don’t think it is.” She frowned, glancing at Luxanna again. Seriously, she’d just been looking at Jinx! “Just… Just tell me if you notice her staring in a weird way, okay? And I’ll tell you if I feel like my brain’s going rotten.”

“Sure,” Ekko acquiesced. After a moment, he added, “Hey… I hope it didn’t sound like I was doubting you or anything. I’ll take it seriously if you feel like something weird is going on, okay? I promise. You can talk to me about this shit.”

“Yeah.” Jinx shook her can of spray paint in one hand, then stuck her sights resolutely to the faux-brick wall, resolving not to spend the whole afternoon glancing back at the popstar. “Thanks. I appreciate you having my back.”

There was an itch on her back, beneath her skin where she couldn't reach.

Get over yourself. A popstar’s got more important shit to do than stare at you.

. . .

That evening, Jinx stayed late at the warehouse. She was really getting into their Demacia-style street art concept and hadn’t wanted to stop painting when night fell. After splitting a dinner of takeout with her, Ekko had called it quits, telling Jinx to give him a call if anything odd happened while he was gone.

Jinx wasn’t worried about weird shit happening. At this late hour, Luxanna and her swarm of staff had long since cleared out, leaving Jinx with the space all to herself.

Jinx hummed a tune as she sprayed a few lines of black paint onto the warehouse’s stonework. The murals were starting to look good! Since Demacian streets weren’t as neon as Zaun, Jinx had decided to keep the murals monochromatic. She was even thinking she should suggest recording the music video in black-and-white to draw more attention to the light-and-shadow theme of the set.

Of course, it would be easier to plan ahead if their client would tell them what her damn song was about... But, hey, Luxanna Crownguard could stay as secretive as she liked as long as Jinx got to keep her paycheck.

As she finished painting the lower trunks of silhouetted trees, Jinx frowned, peering further up the wall. She was eager to get started on the trees' higher reaches, but Ekko had asked her not to break out the ladder unless someone was around to spot her. That was a sensible request – it would be a pity if Jinx fell off and bludgeoned her brains out against the floor without anyone around to call an ambulance – but, damn, she was dying to paint those upper walls!

A few unsupervised minutes on a ladder wouldn’t hurt, right?

Sorry, Little Man. I swear I’ll try not to fall and crack my skull!

Jinx retrieved a rust-splotched metal ladder from where it rested on the floor, quickly setting it up next to her painted trees. Climbing swiftly, she licked her lips and grinned at her stone canvas. Shaking her black canister in one hand, Jinx aimed for the top of one of her in-progress tree-trunks and…

CREEEEEEAK!

Jinx jumped. When the ladder trembled at her movement, Jinx dropped her paint, clutching the sides of the ladder with blanched knuckles. The canister clanked several times as it bounced against the ground beneath her.

“Oh," a surprised voice said from the warehouse’s squeaky back door. “I didn’t think anyone would still be here! Sorry for startling you.”

Jinx’s breaths were heavy and her shoulders were stiff. The hairs rose on the back of her neck as she turned to find Luxanna Crownguard, looking as full of sunshine-and-rainbows as ever, watching her from the door.

… Why was the popstar alone?

Lux stepped further into the room, her head tilting curiously. “You really shouldn’t be on a ladder without someone spotting you,” she scolded gently, smile still unabated. “Do you want me to hold the base of your ladder steady?”

For someone who hadn't spoken to Jinx since her words of welcome on day one, Lux's behavior struck Jinx as over-familiar. Maybe that was her drilled-in popstar persona shining through, forcing her to be amicable even in the company of near-strangers.

Friendly or not, Jinx barely knew the chick.

"Nah," Jinx drawled, forcing the stiffness out of her tense muscles as she began climbing down the ladder. "I was about to wrap it up for the night. My co-designer's gonna call any minute to check if I made it back to the hotel." As she reached the floor, Jinx quirked an eyebrow at the popstar. "Speaking of nosy coworkers, what are you doing out and about without your entourage? I thought famous types couldn't hit the town without a minder or two."

There it was again, a spark of ire behind Luxanna's eyes, there and gone in an instant. "I think more clearly without them around," she explained in a slow, careful tone, as if she were choosing her words very mindfully. "Of course, I care about everyone on my crew, but... I've barely been able to think about this set while they've been with me. There are other matters they'd prefer me to give attention to than this."

Something clicked in Jinx's brain. Smirking, she leaned casually against her ladder, folding her arms smugly over her chest. "Ah, I see. Big brother's set the staff on a mission to distract you from your passion project, hasn't he?"

Luxanna's eyes betrayed her frustration once more. Maybe she knew she had a tell; she flicked her gaze away, staring at the spray painted tree trunks rather than holding Jinx's gaze. A telling touch of pink stained her cheeks, although her smile remained plastered on.

"My brother... He likes to choose which projects I should prioritize. He truly means well, even if he can be... stifling, at times."

It felt easier to be around the star now that her eerie staring had been replaced with flushed cheeks and averted eyes. Feeling more grounded, Jinx could afford to let pity bloom for the born-and-raised popstar. Considering what Jinx had seen so far of her stuffy company, it was no wonder that Luxanna had wanted to slip away. "Hey," Jinx said, trying to make her voice more kind than its usual brashness. "I get it. You're not the first star I've worked with, so I've seen how crowded the pop-life can get. Just let me pack up my gear and I'll be outta your hair; you can have some space to think about your video."

Before Jinx could stoop to collect her paint canister from the ground, Luxanna's hand darted forward, snagging her wrist tightly.

Some of the tension returned to Jinx's shoulders. She blinked at Luxanna, waiting for an explanation.

"I..." Luxanna bit her lip. "I was actually hoping, since you're still here, that we could talk about the set. It'll be easier without my family's staff around to distract me." Awkwardly, she peeled her fingers off Jinx’s wrist and drew her hand back, leaving a slight tackiness from her warm palms on Jinx’s skin. "I mean... Only if this is a good time for you. I know it's getting late."

Well, Ekko would be happy if at least one of them had the chance to collect feedback from their client. "Sure. Yeah!" Stepping to her duffel, Jinx added, "Hold on a sec. Ekko put a notepad in here somewhere with some questions he'd been hoping to ask about the theme..."

. . .

Over the next half-hour, Jinx became increasingly comfortable around Luxanna - or, just Lux, please, as the star insisted. Jinx was happy to find that, despite her family's status and money, Lux wasn't vain or condescending. Maybe it was just her popstar persona, but Lux was cheerful and attentive as Jinx led her around the room and explained what she and Ekko were going for with each collection of props. Although Lux’s stare had felt unnerving earlier that day, its unwavering focus now made Jinx feel as if she were being genuinely listened to, like she’d become Lux’s top priority now that the two of them could finally get to talking.

Judging by her appreciative touches to the props, interested questions, and unwavering smile, it seemed that Lux was excited to hear Jinx's ideas for the set. Jinx could feel her confidence growing as she explained her creative choices to her rapt audience. Jinx loved talking about her craft, and she was thrilled that her client wasn't the type to nitpick and complain.

However, as much as Jinx loved touting her own ideas, she did need some input.

“So.” Pausing by the dock setup, Jinx leaned back against a low stretch of railing she and Ekko had attached to the wall on one side. It creaked slightly under her weight, but ultimately held her steady. Tipping her head, Jinx continued, “What do you think? Do any of the setups fit the look you want for your video?”

Lux cast another appraising glance over the room. Jinx watched her shining eyes travel, quirking a smile at the way Lux’s hair fluttered while she spun to take the whole warehouse in.

No wonder she’s got so many fans, Jinx thought to herself. This chick’s cute as hell – just starin’ at stuff makes her look good!

Lux’s gaze returned to the faux-dock setup where they currently stood. Her eyes trailed up and down an aged wood wall with a sun, moon, and stars carved into the planks, and her lip slipped between her teeth.

Ever so slightly, Lux’s smile shrunk.

An unexpected pang of anxiety swooped through Jinx’s chest. Why had Lux’s smile gotten smaller? She’d looked happy while Jinx was taking her through the sets, but now… Was it not quite right? Was Lux disappointed? “If you’re not feeling any of this, we can spitball some more ideas,” Jinx said quickly. “I’m full of ideas, loaded with ‘em! Just tell me what’s sorta-working and what’s not-fucking-working-at-all, and I’ll build from there!”

Jinx must’ve let some desperation slip into her tone. Eyes widening, Lux was swift to reassure her. “Oh! Jinx, the sets are wonderful, really, I love them! Especially the corner we started at, the one with the Demacian street art concept. I can tell that you and Ekko put so much thought into these ideas!”

The tension in Jinx’s chest warred with tentative hope from Lux’s praise. Okay, but… “You were starting to look kinda bummed out a moment ago,” Jinx pointed out. “I’m glad you like the sets, but if something doesn’t feel right, if there’s anything you wanna mess with, I’m all ears. I can take critique. You don’t have to be little-miss-sunshine with me.”

A flush reddened Lux’s ears as she stared at Jinx, wordless.

… oh, FUCK. I’m not supposed to call the client little-miss-sunshine to her face!

Jinx had been getting too comfortable. Scratching sheepishly at the back of her neck, she hastily pressed on, “so, uh, let’s talk about the song this music video’s gonna be for! What’s it about, anyway? I mean, I know the theme is darkness and light, but details on the lyrics have been pretty… uh… nonexistent. Care to spill?”

Jinx’s hopes of restoring their conversation to its previous happy state were dashed when Lux’s smile drooped further.

After all the smiling Lux had done that day, it felt wrong to see cracks forming in her happy facade. It was like Jinx had peered behind a shower curtain and caught sight of something private and forbidden.

"I mean... You don't have to share the lyrics of the song," Jinx attempted to amend, "just... A bit more about the feel of it would be good to know."

When Lux’s smile dropped entirely, tired shadows congealing around her eyes, it felt less like Jinx had peeked around a shower curtain and more like she'd tripped into it, knocking the curtains down entirely and falling into someone’s vulnerable lap.

Lux’s eyes fell, fixing on the base of the wooden prop-wall. “Jinx… Would you mind if I told you something that you might find disappointing?”

“Uh…” Disappointing? Why would Jinx be disappointed? Lux was the one who’d shelled out a massive pre-payment. Lux was the one who should be disappointed if Jinx under-performed. “… Sure. Lay it on me.”

Turning, Lux leaned against the rail beside Jinx. It creaked a little more under her weight than it had under just Jinx’s, but remained standing and reasonably steady. “There…” Lux took a breath. “There’s no song yet. There might never be one. This music video probably won’t happen.”

Huh? “There’s no song?” Honestly, Jinx was more confused than disappointed. “You started prepping for a music video and put down a big-ass payment for set design before you even knew what the video was gonna be for?”

“I know what it’s for,” Lux responded, frustration straining her tone. Her emotions were more tangible now that her smile had dropped, itching under Jinx's skin and squirming in her gut. “I just… Don’t have the words yet. I’d hoped that, if someone could visualize what I was going for, it’d be easier to make the words come.” A small, bitter laugh slipped from her. “I did write songs – about ten of them. But none of them felt right. They felt like… Like…”

Jinx scooted a bit closer. Aware that she was starting to behave over-familiar herself - Lux's openness must've been getting to her head - she knocked her elbow against Lux’s, feeling a tingle where their warms skin brushed. “Like?”

Lux’s nose scrunched in a way that made her look bitter. “Like they were written by someone who doesn’t know what she’s doing.”

“… Okay.” Jinx pondered this for a second. "I think that opens the door to a pretty obvious question. What are you doing?”

Lux raised a hand, toying with a lock of hair draped over her shoulder. “I’m trying to see what I could create if I didn’t let my family pick all my projects for me. Something they might not approve of, a bit dark, a bit ominous. But… I’m not very good at being anything but the smiling star they've made me to be.”

Jinx recalled Ekko telling her about how closely Lux’s songs aligned with her family’s politics. “You’ve never gotten to make many creative choices for yourself, have you?” she deduced.

Lux scoffed. “Never. The few times I’ve tried reaching for a bit of independence, someone's put a hard stop to it.” The corner of her lip curled, sneer-like, as she added darkly, “You saw me arguing with my brother over this project. Later that night, he spoke to my parents. The next morning, I didn’t have access to my own bank account. I guess they don’t want me pre-paying a video crew like I pre-paid you and Ekko.”

Both of Jinx’s eyebrows shot up. “What the hell? They did shit to your money? Isn’t that fucking illegal!?”

Lux snorted. “Very little is illegal for my family,” she said drily, “especially when they’re committing crime for the good of Demacia. Don’t worry; they can’t cancel the payment I made for your work. Even my parents can’t make money disappear from an account in another nation’s bank.”

“Well, holy fuck.” Jinx let out a low whistle. “I mean, good for me. Thanks for the money and all. But this massively sucks for you.”

“It really does.”

The warehouse lights flickered overhead as Jinx mulled over her thoughts in a minute of uncomfortable silence. She’d known that shit couldn’t be going well for someone who’s family had been calling the shots ever since they’d been ten, but… Wow.

“Jinx…”

Jinx pulled herself from her thoughts, meeting Lux’s gaze. “Yeah?”

“If I went through with this video however I could, without access to funding... If I shot it off a cell-phone camera while singing about not being little-miss-sunshine, as you put it… Do you think the world would be happy for me getting to try something new? Or would people just say I'm going through a phase?”

Jinx winced. “… The world can be pretty judgy," she admitted. "And it seems like a lot of your fanbase are your parent’s kinda people.”

Lux sighed. Her head slumped heavily down, bringing her lower than Jinx despite her greater height. “So I’m doomed to either be my parent’s shining star, or do what I want for once while everyone who knows my name shakes their heads.” She pressed a hand against her temple. “I don't even know what I want to do with this video, or with my career, or with my whole life. How can I do what I want when I don’t even know what I want?”

Incidentally, Jinx had spoken enough with her therapist about lacking direction and watching her life go up in flames that she actually had some tips to give. “Your brain will spin out if you treat what you want like some big, existential question," she said. "Don’t worry about figuring out the big picture all at once. Just pick a few little things you want and start small.”

“Little things, huh?”

“Yeah. Make a list!" Pushing herself off the railing, Jinx splayed her hands with a shrug. "What do you want, Sunshine?"

Jinx’s tease brought a small quirk of a smile back to Lux’s mouth. “I want my bank account back, for starters," she huffed. "It's been humiliating to have to ask my brother to buy lunch for me.”

Jinx nodded in approval. “Solid start! What else do you want?”

“Hmm..." Lux tipped her head, thinking a bit longer this time. "I want my next music video to not be about national pride."

"You've made more than enough of those for sure." Jinx found herself walking to a wooden barrel, hopping to a seat atop it. "Now do a fun one! What's something fun you want?"

Lux's eyes glimmered. “I want... to travel." She brushed a hand appreciatively over several set pieces as she stepped closer to Jinx's seat. "To know what places outside of Demacia are like. To know how people outside of Demacia think.” Her gaze trailed from the set pieces to Jinx. "Is Zaun a very tourist-friendly place?"

Jinx snorted. "Nope. If you went to my hometown lookin' all wealthy and trusting, the pickpockets would line up for miles."

"Well, if I had a choice between losing some pocket change on the street or having my bank account frozen by my own family, I'd take the former."

"Fair point."

A shadow crossed Lux's face. "At least, if I were anywhere but here, I'd have some agency in what became of me. As long as I'm in Demacia, I'm my family's pawn, nothing more." She shook her head. "I love them, but... I resent them sometimes, too..." Her voice dropped off. Shooting Jinx a sideways look, she said slowly, "I don't know why I'm telling you all of this. You'd get paid well for selling a transcript of this rant to the tabloids."

Jinx shrugged. "You're telling me this 'cause you want to. Don't overthink it."

Lux's gaze stayed steady on Jinx.

A slight itch tingled in Jinx's spine.

"... I want to feel the way you look like you feel when you're building a set," Lux said softly. "You look good. Free and happy, I mean. Like you know what you want to create, and you have the power to make it happen."

"Heh." Jinx scratched the back of her neck. "I thought I felt you watching me."

"I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable."

Well, she had kinda set Jinx's nerves tingling, but Jinx wasn't about to bitch about it. "Don't worry about it. It takes more than a funny stare to send me out of whack."

"Good." Lux leaned against a barrel next to the one Jinx sat on. "I wish I could create my own life the way that you create your sets. I feel so powerless sometimes." Her hands curled into fists. "And I'm really sick of feeling powerless."

Jinx shivered at the bite in Lux's tone.

She knew a thing or two about feeling powerless. Jinx remembered being overwhelmed by the voices in her head that told her that her insides were going rotten, that all she'd ever do was break and hurt. She remembered how it had driven her mad, making her want to lash out.

Had Lux ever wanted to lash out?

"Y'know," Jinx murmured, "My shrink once told me that, when people feel like life's going out control, people find ways to claw that sense of control back to them. Sometimes we do bad shit to make us feel in control." She quirked a brown at Lux. "You seem like you're a lot better at keepin' your issues bottled up than me. But the bottle never stays closed. Either ya choose when to open it, or it breaks and cuts you up." At Lux's odd look, she clarified, "I'm sayin' that you gotta find things in your life you can control in a healthy-ish way. Like this music-video!" She gestured to the set. "It's yours! So what if it turns out terrible and nobody likes it? If it lets you feel like you're in the driver's seat of your own life, stick with it."

"Yeah..." Lux stepped a little closer. "By the way, I've been meaning to tell you that I'm grateful to you for sticking with me. With this project, I mean. When my brother said that the video was canceled, and you said you'd keep working on the set anyway... It felt good to have someone in my side for once."

"You're the one who paid me," Jinx said with a shrug. "You brought me here to make some fuckin' art, so that's what I'm gonna do! You're the client, not your brother. You're the one in control."

"... It feels good to hear someone say that."

"I bet it does." Jinx sighed. "Seriously... To think of how much you're family's starved you of control your whole life, you must really be itchin' for it. I'm in your corner, Sunshine." She smirked. "Now, all you gotta do is figure out what you want with this set and take control of it for real. Don't be shy about telling me what you want. You're the boss!"

Lux beamed at her. This new smile felt somehow more real than the ones she'd worn before. At the thought that she'd genuinely made Lux feel good, a giddy feeling swooped through Jinx’s gut.

Funny. Jinx didn't usually care this much about how her clients felt, beyond making sure that they still wanted to pay her, but Jinx wanted to please Lux. Something about Lux just made her feel so...

Lux leaned forward, shared her arms around Jinx’s shoulders, and hugged her tightly.

Jinx was startled. She went limp as her chest was pulled against Lux's, strong arms coiling around her back - fuck, did this chick work out? A chin nestled cozily over her shoulder, and a warm voice murmured in her ear.

"Thank you. For encouraging me to take control. I'll make an effort to tell you what I want... I think we'll work very well together."

"Uh..." Jinx's heart thudded. Her brain suddenly wasn't working with its usual finesse. "Yeah. Uh. No problem."

Lux gave her a bracing squeeze, then let go. As she stepped back to smile at Jinx, Jinx could still feel lingering tingles from her touch. "It's late. I'm sorry for keeping you out so long, but I'm glad you stuck around. You've been working so hard for me... I feel like I can trust you to give me your all."

Why did Lux's praise leave Jinx's gut feeling weirdly warm?

"Anyway, I'll leave you to pack up your things." Lux stepped away, making for the back door. Unconsciously, Jinx let her eyes trail after Lux's back, noting how her hair fluttered with each step. When she reached the door, Lux flung one last parting grin at Jinx. "Make sure you rest well tonight. You'll need your energy for tomorrow."

"... Right. Yeah."

And with that, Lux was gone.

Jinx sat still on her barrel for a full minute before raising a hand to touch her shoulder, where Lux had rested her chin during their hug. Jinx thought her skin felt weirdly warm.

"You've been working so hard for me..."

Jinx shook her head, trying to clear it.

"Thank you. For encouraging me to take control..."

Heat rose in Jinx's cheeks.

"I feel like I can trust you to give me your all."

Lux's arms had been strong when they'd wrapped around her. Her voice has been smooth. Her stare made Jinx shiver...

... And Jinx really, really, wanted to do a good job for her.

"Aw, fuck," Jinx whispered under her breath.

She couldn't get Lux's smile out of her head.
