@blackrosesmatron explains: “One day I’ll be dead and you’ll regret not being there when I needed it.”

"Everyone dies." Their surprise at her appearance is slow to smooth out, the blade drawn not fully put away and their tone snappy. The lantern in their other hand is raised again, watching the Matron until they decide to believe it was really her, and continue their vigilant travel through the darkness. Dead air around them keeps Talon's voice low as they descended deeper into the decrepit sanctum.

"If you die before me, why would I regret it?" Teeth bite their tongue in annoyance, reminding themself there was no point in asking direct questions at her. A cobble staircase steals the assassin's attention as they watch their step, adjusting the blade in their grip with a smooth transfer between digits and a quick spin. They briefly look out over the expanse where the bannister should have been, choosing quickly to refocus on the steps ahead of them.

"None of your riddles have given me reason to believe in anything you promise. Maybe I'd finally get answers without you hiding them."

The monk's behaviour made no sense, to them. A lack of defense against the idea Talon brought up of plans for tricking Noxians was as good as damning evidence that it was in mind all along. In a situation where their part was not the victim, maybe they would have even found it comical. But his smiling is only met with a scowl. Why was she so calm?! The apologetic bow was the final push the assassin needed to fully believe they were being mocked for this entire conversation. Shame and confusion twist and burn their features, it locks the assassin's jaw and makes them retreat into their hood.

"You don't need to offer anything to me." The vitriol in their words wasn't meant to be there, yet there was no attempt to hold it back, no regret. With a start, Talon begins to walk away. Hopefully without learning their name, the monk wouldn't alert the area too much to their presence, but it would still be wise to move out.

"I see." Lee Sin merely responded to the assassin's defensive words in regard to orders or schemes. She didn't press this matter further, either. Their following words didn't elicit much of a response from the Elder either, as she simply nodded along before offering a gentle smile.

"I understand, and it's your right. You should not be used as a target of any sorts, be that for fists or words. And you should learn what it is you desire, I apologize if I came over as pushy. I will try to do better in the future." Lee Sin lowered her head deeply, arms firmly behind his back.

When he stood tall again, it was revealed that the smile on his face had remained. "If I find a Noxian who is interested in learning more about our order, then I will gladly show them around! Though my words may seem hard to believe: I mean you no harm. I have put the past behind me, and even call some Noxians my friends."

"Moving on." Lee motioned their hand in a dismissive manner, bringing it back to his back afterward. "Can I offer directions or anything of the sorts to you instead?"

🌌- Who is Talon dating?

together we've established most verses have Talon and Jhin as an item at this point, though with how I run multiverses I usually keep interactions separate unless it's brought up, talked about or connections are made, progress threads etc. 🤔

Canon & Headcanon are a weird mix since we went by the latter for years, canon of course staying that they're dating but maybe we can use the other to explore their relations together again idk tossing out ideas. Dreadnova, Zombie Slayer, Esport, and modern have them all dating too. Rift Quest depends on how we're playing it; as players they're definitely dating. But I can't recall what we decided on with their PCs.

SG verse last I remember we had them as evil team partners with secret crushes on one another? PROJECT we haven't discussed, neither CE but that's also my weird hybrid child. And of course Gothic High Noon, Talon is an alone and sad half angel half demon thing. Who could ever lend a shoulder of sympathy to such an abomination?

The stranger only meet's her brilliant eyes for a moment, looking down and away as they stifle a cough from something tickling their throat. The light still stung to look at, but what hurt the most was that it wasn't as biting as it once was. "Reckon it's a strange sense of humour." Teeth flash at their joke, strained and halfhearted. Plenty of long roads and longer years left a demon a lot of time to mull over what made them fit their punishment. Ccruel irony was the easiest option to go with most days.

The façade is quickly shattered by the preacher's diagnosis like glass hit with shrapnel. Vacant eyes grow wide and leave the current scene, brimstone crunches into itself as the rest of the stranger freezes in place. Slowly, they return and hear his sermon. But the vacancy only grows into uncomfortable shifting. They understood the words for what they were.. they thought, anyway. Almost understanding the language. The book's closure snaps their attention toward it. But for a drawn out moment, there is a decided moment they truly ponder if they were supposed fall to their knees and beg for help right there and then.

Words roll around in Talon's mouth before the speak, spreading the taste of bile and shredded keratin over their tongue and gums. "Is there any sin that can't be forgiven, Preacher?" A hat tipped upward reveals their eyes again, squinting the longer they dared to meet her eye to eye. Soon enough their head turns away, watching the horizon waver through the heat. "'Cause I'd be willin' to bet that this metamorphosis is my punishment for what mine own hands have conceived. To become the exact opposite of my nature. Somethin' worse than death for me to carry, long after the last bits of the West blow away. Change ain't something anything like me... like I was, is suppose to experience."

"What's the point in giving a monster a heart, if it ain't to make it an example for other evils?"

The preacher offered a knowing smile, nudging up her hat just enough to reveal more of her divine sight, answering the question that might have been on the miscreant's mind. Nothing could be hidden from the Divine. For it wasn't related to the empty Heavens and the frozen throne.

"I might make assumptions and guesses, but if you don't know what you are, then I don't know either. I can see you, and I see your cursed existence. But I also see the Lord has left his loving mark upon you, for what reason I do not presume to know. For he has been known to work in mysterious ways..."

For a moment, Lee Sin falls silent. Hearing the reason in the sinner's voice. Before giving an understanding nod. "Think that's where you went wrong, stranger. You're looking for a way to reverse it, but I don't think that's possible."

"I think what you're going through is more akin to metamorphosis than it is a sickness." Once more, reaching for the holy book, Lee Sin opened it without even looking, on the page they needed. With a genuine smile they began preaching, a deeper meaning to their words; if the stranger was willing to listen to them.

"Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

So confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous one availeth much."

With that, the preacher snapped the book shut, looking expectantly at the other.

@dolls-runeterran-dollhouse's lee sin - continued from here 🗡

Talon's smile curdles when their ruse is seen through with little work. A wicked thought blames their illness; both for it making clear what it was eating up, and for making their tongue less slippery. They don't approach him any further, their back foot silently slides into place to make a jump into action easier when it was needed. Her look, and the name given to them, makes them sick. "You have me mistaken, Preacher. I ain't never given someone what they need. Hell, I ain't truly sure what I am anymore." They laugh at their own expense, dry and quick. With a lowered chin, their uncovered hand is lifted to adjust the hat poorly keeping sun bleached strands in place.

"It may not be salvation in your sense that I'm lookin' for, but I am well and truly cursed. And my attempts to reverse it so far are comin' up dry." Air is sucked through their many teeth in a grimace. "Reckon I'd give the last place I'd look a try, in case it cuts out a lotta work on my part."

Their chin lifts, and eyes dulled like a dying fire roll about in thought. Something shifts beneath the dusty coat over their other shoulder. "Though, I'd rather wrangle with a gospeller than another snake-tongued hellspawn any day. I know well what the latter's company is like, and you lot have morals."

da user was kind enough to share a ripped and rigged model of talon, (they have a LOT of other models from lots of games including wild rift and ruined king so id check them out for your fav!) ive of course downloaded it and now spinning tal around & using it as inspiration to jump back into 3d. anyway here are some of my findings (under read more to not clog dash w unshaded model screenshots);

not relatable at all but i spent So Long to get the shading to not fk up the model view and it was just because i had to make the blend mode Opaque instead of Alpha Blend. anyway-

on the uv texture, talon Does in fact have a facial scar! it's above the eyebrow and when loaded on the model, is flipped (might be on my part for either thing being flipped, im still learning blender)

also unsure how to load it in but the models iris colour is in fact; purple! i think this is so it reads as dark brown from far away (colour theory etc) but thats just imo

the user said they had to clean up the hair beneath the hood a lot but i thought id still share it. again, the model is flipped i think. i also love the nose shape :) and the eyebags

#‡ ooc #real and in my computer... #gonna be great for pose referencing too heehee #if youd like to know anything abt the model w/o downloading ill just rotate it for you. still figuring out things tho

“Fate is catchin' up to you, old friend,” Talon says, leaning back in their chair, predator's eyes gleaming under the shadows of their hat. They still move like a demon, even warped and corrupted by angel blood as they are. Their smile, rueful and knowing, has too many teeth: “The end is comin' for us all.”

The giant of a man was particularly strange to the assassin. They'd seen Trifarian soldiers that would dwarf even him, no, the curiosity came from every other factor about him. Nowhere was safe for the assassin, not even back roads through quiet woods. Scouts, squadrons, bounty hunters, anything could be met on the road. Talon had slipped into the foliage off the bare cobble when they had heard something large approach, but had been expecting something from the wilds to cross the path, not a barely clothed man and his large cask headed toward the capital.

Keeping low behind trunk and bush, Talon waits with baited breath for the stranger to pass. Only to be greeted with the thunderous rumble of the barrel meeting the ground, feeling the impact through their boots. Already irritated, ears are covered when the raucous laughter is released. The assassin has half a mind to wander further into the woods, but when a quick glance across the skies and branches is made, they slink out onto the road, a good many paces away from the barrel owner.

"People don't actually take you up on that offer, right? Accepting an unknown beverage from a stranger." Tongue clicks across teeth in annoyance, like it's the worst idea Talon's ever heard. Already he gave the impression of someone who used a bar as a second home. They watch him warily over the collar of a dark travelling coat, it's tails barely skirting the dirt.

"That's stupid."

Gragas was making his way over to Noxus, on his way to pick up a few of his usual orders. That always sounded so suspicious in the drunk's mind, when in reality it was just a batch of spices and herbs to continue his experimentation with. Oh, and a few herbs to a tea he had learned to brew from an old Shuriman woman, it filled one up with warmth. Perfect for a little pep in the step.

This day though, there was something annoying to the man. He felt like he was being observed. No matter what one might assume of the giant drunk, he was more observant than one assumed. Whether that was part of a plan, though?

With a loud grumble, he raises his cask high and then slams it down on the ground. The solid oak made a thud with such force that it knocked sand and dirt away from Gragas, and any nearby birds left, rustling the trees.

"If yous lookin' for a drink, then just come! COME AND DRINK!" Gragas grabbed a travel tankard from his rope belt and pulled the cork from his cask, tipping it with his foot so he could pour some into the tankard before sealing it up again, dropping the tankard down on the cask's surface.

" 'Eres plenty to go around, more than you can handle HAH HAH HA!!" The boisterous laughter was almost as loud as the cask hitting the ground.
