Plotted starter with @mxchineherald

Sky was resting with Viktor within the Arcane, it was exhausting helping to bring back the mind of Vander from within the beast Warwick. She needed to recharge, they both did. Which was why she and Viktor were resting within the Arcane rather than sleeping side by side with her using her body as she often did.

It was peaceful and relaxing. She wouldn't call it sleep but it was restful even with her keeping an eye on the commune. Everything was as calm as could be expected with the Noxians on their doorstep along with Singed. The scientist made her wary and she was glad that Viktor had resisted the temptation and sent the man away.

Then there was a disturbance. She lifted her head and turned her attention to it but didn't leave Viktor's embrace. She didn't have as strong of a connection with the Healed of the commune as Viktor did but it seemed that someone in need of help had arrived. They were being guided here for Healing.

She frowned at that and debated leaving for a moment to use her body to direct the newcomer to a place of rest for the moment since Viktor needed rest. She weighed her opens for too long it seemed since the person was already entering.

Her eyes widened as she recognized the feel of the person. Jayce. He was here and given his reaction to them speaking through Salo, she couldn't be sure what Jayce had planned. Especially since he was continuing to approach the spot where Viktor hovered in meditation. She tried to alert Viktor before reaching for her body just in case.

Sky had to seriously debate how civil she wanted to be at the moment. On one hand there was appeal in being enough of a bitch that she got divorced fast so she could return to her life and get on with her work. On the other hand, she didn't know anything about the other woman. In the end she decided on a middle ground.

"Piltover will always seek profit no matter who might be adversely effected by their methods." She stated coldly as she adjusted her glasses and watched the other woman move around. "Says the woman who married the bastard child of a very minor Piltover House who would much rather be working in the lab than here."

She snorted and rolled her eyes in reaction to talk of consummating the marriage. "No offense taken just as I hope you won't take offense to the fact that's presently I'd be just as happy if we never 'sealed the deal'."

She debated another moment before reluctantly settling into the bed while planning to move to the couch if the other woman had a change of heart in the night. As she settled she carefully tucked a small pouch of sleeping powder under her pillow just in case.

Phantom of the Hexcore

Dying wasn't what Sky expected. Yes, it was extremely painful but after that it was strangely peaceful. For a time she floated through a sea of stars, her thoughts coming slow until a brighter star caught her attention. She turned her gaze to it and it seemed to grow closer, brighter. So bright that it consumed her vision.

When she could see again she was in a bedroom. Looking around she took in the decor before focusing on the figure in the bed. Jayce. He seemed to be sleeping peacefully. She reached for him only to notice that her had was barely there are all, just a suggestion of shape and color. Still she wanted to try to connect with Jayce, to see if he could feel or perhaps hear her.

"Jayce... Jayce... Can you hear me?" She called while resting her hand on and partially through his shoulder. She leaned down to be closer to his ear, feeling like she was being pulled away from him again. "Jayce. Come to the lab Jayce. Check on the Hexcore, Jayce. Hurry!"

After speaking the last word she gave into the pull and felt herself tumbling through that same sea of stars. Eventually she returned to the physical world again, this time in the lab. She looked down and saw she was much more solid now but still rather ghostly as she stood before the table that held the Hexcore. She turned to look at the door, hoping that Jayce had heard her.

continued from here

Sky wasn't in the lab at that moment since after placing the presents she had gone out to get breakfast for all of them as part of her gift to them. She had gone to a local bakery to get everyone's favorites, even indulging in a rare treat of a blackberry scone and a cinnamon roll for herself. She also hand picked up all the ingredients she needed to make their morning drinks extra special once she got back.

She actually arrived just in time to see the boys hugging. Her smile was soft and just the slightest bit sad at the sight. She was glad to see them wearing the sweaters and quietly went over to her desk to set down the bag of treats and start making the drinks she had planned.

She wasn't hiding so it wouldn't be hard for them to hear or see her but at the same time she wasn't trying to draw attention to herself yet. She planned to approach them once she had finished making drinks so that she could present them each with breakfast as she usually did if Jayce hadn't beaten her to it, which it didn't seem he had that morning.

( Sky s2 ) wounded - Viktor sways Sky and himself back and forth as a soothing mechanism - ( @mxchineherald )

Sky curled up tight in Viktor's lap as he swayed them back and forth. She had recently woken from a nightmare but between the soothing motion of their swaying and his gentle voice in her ear she was steadily calming. She was actually headed towards sleep at this point with well in was doing at soothing her fears and getting her to relax. The only thing that might have made it better was if he chose to hum or sing for her.

⭐️💤 📖 🍵 ( For SkyVik s1 & 2 ) - ( @mxchineherald )

Meme here

Send ⭐️ (or multiple) for a headcanon about our muses.

S1. They are usually the first ones in the lab each morning. Either because Viktor never left or because he got their early. Sky is there early every morning to get the lab set up for the day. Since they are there first, Sky and Viktor often have tea or breakfast together.

S2. Sky and Viktor frequently braid each other's hair with her teaching him the traditional styles of her culture. Any time they are doing this in a place where there are flowers she will braid them into his hair.

Send 💤 for my muse to say something about yours in their sleep.

S1. "....mmmm... need a new tea blend... gotta help Viktor... mi amor..."

S2. "Mmm... comfy... te amo... don't wanna get up... more cuddles..."

Send 📖 for my muse to read out an entry in their journal/diary about yours.

S1. "Today Viktor directly asked for one of my tea blends. I nearly jumped out of my skin. I didn't think he knew I had been giving him medicated teas. But... I'm glad he's okay with it and that I can help him."

S2. "The commune is coming along nicely. It's so cute watching Viktor teaching the children. Especially when they ask any questions not related to science. He gets so adorably flustered."

Send 🍵 and my muse will reveal one of their biggest regrets involving yours.

S1. "I wish I had told Viktor about my research sooner and insisted he leave the lab that night."

S2. "I wish I were more help with the commune. But without a body there isn't much I can do other than monitor everyone's emotional states."
