@knowthings asked for an encounter .

It was an unexpected sight—a welcome one, albeit strange. Caitlyn hadn’t planned for this, not in the slightest. Today's to-do-list included observation, keeping an eye on her father’s lackeys and their dealings, maybe pestering Sevika later if the opportunity arose. But running into a familiar face down here in the undercity? That hadn’t been on the agenda.

She was perched on a nearby balcony, draped in a large purple shawl that concealed her entirely, Caitlyn watched silently. The figure below moved in such a way that tugged at old memories. How many years had it been? Long enough for her to question if her eyes were playing tricks on her. So she waited, studying the movements, the posture. And then she was certain.

With a scoff, she rose, pulling the shawl tightly around her as she made her way down to the street. Caitlyn didn’t announce herself immediately, instead stepping up behind the girl and letting her presence linger before she spoke.

❝ Fancy seeing you here,❞ she finally called, her voice light yet laced with a sharp edge. The fabric still obscured her face, lending her a shrouded, almost ghostly appearance. There was no malice in her tone, but something about it carried an unmistakable sense of dark mischief.

Caitlyn leaned closer, her words playful but pointed. ❝ I thought you’d gone fully topsider on me. Assimilated to their ways, never to be seen again. What’s it like up there? Uptight, suffocating, and reeking of perfume and privilege, just as I imagine?” She smirked, though the expression was hidden beneath the fabric of her hood.

At last, she pulled it back, revealing her face. Her sharp blue eyes now mixed with a bit of purple glinted with something unreadable — a mixture of curiosity and something slightly... off-putting. The smile she wore wasn’t entirely friendly; it was more of a playful mockery, edged with a kind of unhinged undertone.

❝ Do you still remember me?❞ she asked, tilting her head slightly, her tone hovering between teasing and daring. ❝ Or has the topside made you forget the faces of the undercity?❞

@knowthings asked : i won't be of any help.

" i am not asking you to solve a physics equation , miss emery. " with a soft chuckle , viktor's hands rest atop hers , guides them to rest on either side of the rather ambiguous looking amalgamation of parts of screws. prototypes rarely are beautiful things ... sometimes , they are barely comprehensible things. but now that they've perfected the hextech crystal , it's on to the next step of innovation . " i simply need an extra pair of hands , since you've got jayce running around doing magazine interviews or whatever it is you two spend your time working on these days. " slender fingers wrap around the tool he intends to use to solder things together , a tender smile spread across thin lips.

" now , do hold very still , miss emery. i may have the hands of a surgeon , but there is little i can do to mitigate another's shakiness. "

"Who the fuck are you? And more importantly why shouldn't I shoot you?"

@knowthings     ﹕     🍬 to give my muse some Valentine's Day candy.   /   to any of your marvel muses in honor of the new cap movie this week

it’s   not   something   she   expects,   to suddenly receive   valentine’s   day   candy from anyone     ⸻     much less emery.   it’s a   sweet   gesture,   making lips pull comfortably into a smile,   going from looking down at the candy she received and looking at emery.   ❛   i  feel  bad,   i  don’t  have   anything   to  give  in  return.   thank  you,   though.   ❜   while she wasn’t much for sweets,   at least in the form of candy,    it didn’t mean she   wouldn’t   eat it,   especially when given as a surprise gift   (   did   she   forget   it   was   valentine’s   day   ?   no,   more   like   she   was   ignoring   it.   )   pocketing the candy,   she moves closer,   hooking her arm with emery’s,   looking to her side and chuckling.   ❛   we  should  spend  valentine’s   together     ⸻     unless  you  have  plans  with  someone  else.   ❜

@knowthings ﹕ ❛  bet you can't beat me at this game. i'm a pro.  ❜

unfortunately   more   often   than   not   most of his time was either spent within the lab or   attending   things that had to do with his position of a councillor.   however,   allowing himself to be pulled off   (   with   an   apology   given   to   viktor   and   a   promise   to   come   back   later   to   the   lab   to   help   ),   he was brought to   somewhere   he was completely unfamiliar to.   in all his years of living in piltover,   he'd not known of the   game   shops   that were speckled around the city,   filled to the brim with arcade machines that not only children played but also those who were a bit older.   eyes shift to take it   all   in,   a shine in hazel eyes that could only be compared to that of   a   child   in   a   candy   shop.   looking at emery at one of the machines,   he wastes no time in stepping in   beside   her,   nearly   shoulder   to   shoulder   as he smirks.   whilst he had no   experience,   it didn't mean he didn't enjoy a   challenge.   maybe this was a distraction on emery's part,   maybe she'd brought him out here to keep his mind from all the recent stresses.   ❛   that  sounds  like  a  challenge,   what  do  i   get   if  i  beat  you   ?   ❜   teasing her,   a   confident   streak rises as he tries to   amp   himself up for whatever the game in front of them might be.

@knowthings asked // "i'm sorry, who are you?" // from here !

Well if that's not a jab to his ego, he doesn't know what is. He has to remind himself that this is normal, that most Americans don't know who he is, that it's going to continue to be normal as he continues to interact with Americans. They don't know who Roy fucking Kent is, and he's a literal legend, so why would they know Jamie, who's... well, also a fucking legend, but less old. If Jamie were less bruised by the comment, he might've taken it and flirted in return - I can be whoever you want me to be tonight. Unfortunately, Jamie's ego rules him, and when it's bruised, it's hard for him to come back from that smoothly. He doesn't want to be outright rude, it's not her fault she grew up somewhere without culture [ because that's what football is to him, a culture. It's his first love, and it'll surely be his last ]. "Jamie Tartt. Y'might've heard of me." There - he'll see if she can connect the face to his name, now.

always thought that sounded like a bunch of bullshit

"It's all about PR at the end of the day." He shrugs a shoulder, eyes focused on the book in front of him, but a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth all the same. "Earth's Mightiest Heroes has a better ring than 'People Who Happened to be Around on the Day'."

@knowthings    ﹕     ❛   i had it under control. you didn’t need to do that.   ❜

chuckling   behind   her   hand,   she shouldn’t find it   amusing   but if emery is saying she had it under control,   she   wonders   what   else   she   is   fibbing   about.   eyes shift to look at her as her hand falls,   shaking her head slightly from side to side in   disbelief.   ❛   you  don’t  need  to   lie,   it  looked  like  you  were   overwhelmed.   it’s  the   least   i  could  do.   ❜   mel was used to all sorts of things by now,   the   hecticness   of events and planning things,   though she was   lucky   that elora helped her with everything.   moving a hand to rest it against emery’s upper back,   she gives her a   soft,   reassuring smile.   thankfully this event wouldn’t be too large and extravagant but she understood the   stresses   nonetheless.   ❛   how  about  you  take  a  break,   yes   ?   relax  a  little.   ❜

@knowthings liked  this  for  a  starter 

❝  Jayce  really  does  trust  you  doesn't  he  ❞  Caitlyn  muses  ,  still  not  the  most  sure  about  hextech  and  whether  it  will  help  Piltover  prosper  ,  ❝  why  do  you  believe  the  creation  of  this  …stuff  ,  is  so  good  ?  what's  wrong  with  the  city  ❞ 

[gaevaer]

@knowthings said: "you look like hell"

Caitlyn let out a dry laugh, rolling her eyes at Emery’s comment in fake annoyance. ❝ Wow, thanks. That’s exactly what my ego needed,❞ she shot back teasingly. She pushed herself off the ground with a wince, wiping her face with the crook of her elbow. The motion left a streak of blood smeared across her jacket, thick and dark from the gash running across her nose and cheeks — a brutal souvenir from the battle to defend Piltover and Zaun from Noxian forces.

Her shoulders slumped as she let out a tired sigh, reaching into her pocket for a syringe of shimmer. Fingers fumbled slightly as she found it, and a click of her tongue betrayed her frustration. Blood continued to trickle into her mouth, and she turned her head, spitting it out before swiping at her face again.

❝ Are you okay? What happened to you? Did… did everyone else make it?❞ The questions tumbled out quickly, her voice filled with a mix of worry and urgency. She didn’t wait for answers, though. The cap of the syringe popped off with a practiced flick, and she shrugged out of her jacket, her movements stiff and deliberate as she exposed her arm.

Caitlyn paused briefly, glancing at Emery with a tired but reassuring expression. ❝ I'll be fine, in case you were interested. Just need to patch myself up and keep moving,❞ she muttered, more to herself than anyone else, before pressing the needle to her skin.

@knowthings ﹕ ❛ you want me quiet ? make me. ❜

it's like a switch that goes off, the way he's suddenly crowding her space to push her flat against the bed. it wasn't uncommon for either of them to go each other's apartments, spending time together watching movies, sometimes cooking meals so they both would eat ( more often than not he forgot to eat when he was swamped with school work ). it was supposed to be a usual night, verbal teasing on both ends, being touchy, what they would consider the norm. and yet, here they are. he'd long told her to be quiet when she had started teasing him about something, faux annoyance on features as he huffed. but her comment of making her be quiet makes him snap, hands suddenly on her shoulders and pushing her down.

there's an unreadable expression on his face as he hovers over her, as if pondering his options, what he would do. leaning down, a leg moves to position it between her own, face getting mere inches away from hers. head tilts a little to the side, eyes shifting between emery's and down to lips before flicking back up. the beginnings of a smirk gracing the corners of lips. perhaps he should leave it, leave her to lay there on the bed and wonder what might've been, however he'd be wrong to say he hasn't thought of a moment like this. ❛ are you sure about that ? i could shut you up in a lot of ways. ❜ hot breath fans against skin, head dipping as lips attack her jaw, placing kisses until he's reached the soft spot between her jaw and right below her ear.

❛ how should i shut you up, hm ? ❜ a hand that had been by her head moves, now along her side, sliding down and dipping beneath the fabric of her shirt. his hand explores, caressing her side, reaching up close to her chest but never going further than that. she wanted to challenge him, he would take the bait but it didn't mean he would take ⸻ he needed to know she wanted it. lips graze along her jaw, nipping at soft skin before moving to ghost lips against hers. teasing her. ❛ tell me, em. ❜

[cupcait]

stop looking at me like that .

making demands .

That's easier said than done . Cassandra had sent Jayce in an attempt to soften the blow , as if hearing she'd been shafted from her position without any choice in the matter would just be accepted . Emery visits in good will , another guest wishing her well after the attack , but Jayce' s act as messenger still stings .

' Did you know ? ' She cannot help but ask — it seems the type of thing that mother would want to tell everyone but her own daughter .
