Ship ask game: keyleth and vex 7??? Perhaps?? I think that could be fun!

Oh, heck yeah, Vexleth!

7... To shut them up.

Keyleth was spiraling. The situation wasn't even life or death -- they had all been in their fair share of those over the years, after all -- and she was clearly about to have a panic attack. Vex'ahlia knew trying to organize a surprise baby shower for Pike and Scanlan wouldn't be a simple feat, but she hardly thought it merited this much stress. "Darling, you're about to cause a miniature cyclone with all the pacing in circles you've been doing," Vex said, her tone aiming for light and teasing. "I'm sorry!" Keyleth blurted as she whipped around, her mantle billowing and causing yet more wind and leaves to whirl about them. "I just really should have considered that trying to get all of the baked goods done at the Slayer's Cake here in Whitestone would be difficult to do without Pike noticing. And Grog is great at keeping Scanlan distracted, but I'm afraid he'll slip up and say something that will ruin the surprise... " She continued on about the decorations, further working herself up into a tizzy. Vex sighed, though it was mostly out of fondness. This girl... this woman cared so much. In just a few years, Keyleth had gone from shy and insecure to the leader of her people, and one of the most powerful beings Vex had the pleasure to know. She had faced down gods and come out the other side victorious. And here she was, wringing her hands about party streamers and pastries. Exandria really didn't deserve her. "... maybe we can get some more of those enchanted party favors from Gilmores an--mmph!" Keyleth's babbling came to a halt as Vex'ahlia tugged her in by the front of her cloak and stole her words and her breath in a passionate kiss. Vex pulled back after several moments, her eyes fluttering open to see Keyleth's still closed, a somewhat dopey smile on her face. "Sorry, love. Couldn't help myself," Vex purred. Keyleth finally opened her eyes to meet Vex's gaze. "What... umm, what do you mean?" "You're quite adorable when you ramble, you know. But as cute as it is, I think you deserve a break..." She took Keyleth's hand and gently tugged as she began to walk backwards towards the castle. "And I have just the thing." She finished with her signature wink, which still had the desired effect after all these years, causing Keyleth to blush all the way to the tips of her pointed ears. The party ended up being a wild affair as far as baby showers go, but Keyleth didn't worry about a single thing for the rest of the day, which is exactly how Vex liked it.

Ship ask game: laudna Imogen 17!!

Imodna... to distract.

Imogen was having a bad night. Laudna could tell because she was back to fighting sleep again, afraid of the ever-constant pull of Predathos in her dreams. Even with the recent strain on their relationship, which Laudna knows deep down is all her fault, she wants to reach out and comfort her. Imogen grunts and turns over again, huffing as she tries to get comfortable. They aren't cuddled together tonight, hands and limbs entwined like they usually are. Laudna had thought physical distance might be best... didn't want Imogen to feel disgusted by her touch with Delilah hovering just out of the periphery. "Laud..." Imogen whispers, and Laudna turns her head to see lavender eyes looking at her imploringly. Her barely-beating heart squeezes at the sight. "What's wrong, darling?" Laudna asks as she turns on her side and scoots closer to Imogen, their noses almost touching. I'm scared. Even though Imogen communicates those words telepathically, it's so quiet, Laudna feels like she has to strain to hear it. Of what? Laudna thinks back. It takes a second for Imogen to settle on a reply, tears forming in the corners of her eyes. Of losing. Myself, you, us, our friends... of losing to Ludinus and Predathos and the Weave Mind. There's just so much at stake. A wave of emotions hit Laudna then. Sadness, fear, frustration... longing. It was difficult to tell where Imogen's emotions ended and her own began. She wouldn't claim to know everything, but she did know that there was no use lingering in the feelings of hopelessness tonight. So she latched on to the feeling that made the most sense in the moment, leaning forward to brush her lips tentatively against Imogen's. Her breath hitched, and at first Laudna thought she had made a mistake. Their relationship was a big question mark at the moment, after all. But then she felt Imogen's presence in her mind again, the sense of longing clouding over every other feeling. Please don't stop. I miss you... I need you. And who was Laudna to deny the one person keeping her tethered to this plane, her very sanity? When their lips met again, the only thing that mattered was banishing the shadows from both their minds. Laudna was nothing if not resourceful, and Imogen was, as always, very capable.

Ask ship game: Caitlyn and vi, 22!! :D

God, I can't wait to have Caitvi back in November. Even though I know Arcane is going to wreck us all emotionally.

22... in a rush of adrenaline.

Vi wasn't one to stay idle for too long. When Caitlyn said she was putting a taskforce together to head into Zaun, it was the most logical thing for Vi to join them. She knew the Lanes better than any Piltie, and she didn't trust anyone but herself to bring Jinx in... alive. But running simulations and obstacle courses in preparation got old really quickly. Vi didn't see the point in beating the shit out of training dummies and robots. In the Undercity, things were truly unpredictable. Nothing made sense. You had to improvise in ways that weren't calculable. "It's so we can better learn how to operate as a team," Caitlyn explained, not for the first time. "If we can anticipate each other's needs, learn strength's and weaknesses, we'll be a more solid, effective unit." "Yeah, Cupcake, I get it," Vi sighed and rolled her shoulder, the old injury flaring up again under the weight of the gauntlets. "I just don't like wasting time getting nothing done when there's still Shimmer in the streets and we have no idea what Pow... what Jinx has planned next." She felt Caitlyn's hand on her arm, and she looked up to see those bright blue Kiramman eyes staring at her reassuringly. "I don't like spinning our wheels, either. Listen, if the team can make it through the next simulation completely unscathed, I think we will be clear to move forward with preparations." Vi smirked. "I'm pretty sure I can handle whatever Jayce throws at us. You gonna watch my back, Cupcake?" Not for the first time, she saw Caitlyn's gaze flick down to her ass. Deliberately. "Don't I always?" ---- Jayce definitely threw everything but the kitchen sink at them. Vi was out front, as she always was. Caitlyn was on overwatch. Their other team members spread out, two flanking Vi and several back in stealthier positions. Cait was in top form, calling out threats seemingly before they materialized. They were nearing the end of the simulation by Vi's estimation when some kind of automaton monstrosity burst through the wall, prepared to bring it's bladed arm down on Vi's head. Within a fraction of a second, a shot rang out, and the blade was completely shattered. Vi grinned as the thing roared in anguish and frustration before charging up the gauntlet to full force and uppercutting it several meters off the floor. The room went dark and the sounds of everything shutting down and resetting whined around them. Just as Vi was throwing her hands up in celebration, she was tackled by a blur of long limbs and blue hair. And lips. Caitlyn was kissing her. It took her brain way too long to register that miraculous fact and before she could even reciprocate, Caitlyn was pulling away, eyes wide at her own actions. "Sorry, I... got caught up in the moment," Cait said bashfully. The rest of the team was looking on in amusement, knowing glints in their eyes. Well, the mission was certainly turning out to be more complicated by the day. Though, as Vi chanced a look back in Cait's direction, she couldn't say she really minded the newest development that much.
