In the married Melco AU what does Alora think of Silco?

She is t e r r i f i e d.

She treats him with the same wary courtesy as she does Ambessa. But Ambessa is her liege, and Mel's mother - and therefore warrants respect. Silco is a Fissure-bred interloper with a reputation for terrorism. It's like if your bestie was suddenly married to the Joker and he was over all the time at her house filling the air with his rancid vibes.

She stays at arm's length and on guard when he is with Mel - in case her boss ever needs a rescue (Elora is trained in the Noxian equivalent of Krav Maga). She also tries her damnedest to NEVER be alone with him - because his eyes follow her like a shark sizing up a tasty little fish.

Mel, on her part, encourages Elora to keep her distance - because Elora is one of the few close friendships she has, and she would not put it past Silco to seduce her and fuck her in a fit of cruel temper over something Mel has done, just to stain that connection. She likewise keeps Elora away from Ambessa, lest she solicit her services for spying on said husband - "Get closer to him hint hint" - just to introduce friction in Mel's and Silco's marriage.

So, er. Yeah.

Elora is often stuck between a wolf and a shark to keep her little foxy friend's tail out of trouble.

Did I mention that working for aristocrats and politicians is, in fact, awful?

Elora: You know, you don't have to.

Mel: No, I'm gonna.

Grayson takes Mel into the Undercity, where they run into a certain Sevika...

“My, my, if that isn’t Sheriff Grayson. Back again so soon and without that dashy uniform,” Sevika slurred, making her cronies snicker. “Did you miss us?” 

Grayson scowled at her but refused to show how unsettled she was that they had run into their group. “Look, I’m here on private business. There’s nothing for you to worry about.”

“Nothing for me to worry about?” Sevika paused, allowing her gang to laugh again. “You really think yourself that important, don’t you?” 

Grayson knew Sevika wanted to provoke her. Ever since she had found out that Grayson and Vander were meeting secretly, she had tried to gauge the enforcer into a conflict. To her disappointment, Grayson just remained her stoic self, not allowing anything to ruffle her feathers. “Now why don’t you show me your private business and then I decide whether to worry or not.”

Behind her, Grayson heard a distinct moan of distress coming from Elora, followed by a panicked, “Oh no, no, no.” 

Mel, however, remained calm and well composed. Something Grayson was grateful for at that moment, as she tried counting how many people were surrounding them. Too many for her to fight them off by herself. She hoped the two other women were fast runners.

“What’s wrong, Sheriff, are you too shy?” Sevika taunted, earning more laughs from the onlookers.

Then Mel stepped forward, slowly pulling back her hood and mask, revealing her face. Grayson was sure, barely anyone in the crowd knew who she was, but even without all her glamorous jewelry, Mel Medarda was breathtaking and she knew how to use that.  

Sevika collected herself. “Now that’s some pretty private business, wouldn’t mind some of that myself.” 

Something in Grayson snapped at that. “You better watch what the fuck is coming out of that insolent mouth of yours, Sevika, or your ass will be in Stillwater, quicker than-”

“Sheriff, please,” Mel’s hand was on her arm, the elegant fingers wrapping firmly around the muscle, drawing all of Grayson’s attention to the woman they belonged to and who looked at her imploringly. 

Grayson growled again. This was exactly why she didn't want to do this in the first place. Undercity was bloody dangerous and Mel just had no clue. 

“I am Mel Medarda, I am a representative of your council.” Grayson began praying as soon as Mel finished that sentence. Another hush fell over the crowd, this time, however, it wasn’t caused by underlying admiration. Instead there seemed to be a sudden friction in the air, which broke loose when Sevika once again spoke up.

“Our council?” She slowly, threateningly advanced towards Mel, who now seemed to realize that she might have made the wrong choice in her words. Grayson quickly got herself between the two women, there was no way in which she would allow Sevika to even come close to touching Mel.

Sevika laughed derisively. “What?! Am I not allowed to take a good look at my councillor?!” She spat the last word.

“No, you’re not,” Grayson replied, clear anger now creeping into her low growling voice. For a brief second Sevika flinched. It was barely visible and only Grayson noticed it, but enough reassurance to know the other woman was intimidated by her.

Grayson leaned closer. “You had your show, I think it’s time you leave now. Don’t you?” 

She knew it was risky. One signal by Sevika would be enough to send the mob flying at them, but Grayson hoped she wouldn’t be that stupid. Threatening the Sheriff of Piltover was one thing, but attacking her and a council member… that would provoke topside into a war.

Sevika’s eyes darted between Grayson’s before she finally took a step back again. A sneer on her face she spat onto the ground, missing the sheriff’s boot only by inches. “I wouldn’t get anywhere near a pussy you’ve been slopping over anyway.” And with that she turned around, whistling at her gang to follow her.

Grayson took a deep breath when the crowd around them dispersed from boredom.

Put on your tinfoil hats, bois, gals and pals, because we're going on a conspiracy ride, a short one but tumultuous nonetheless.

Now repeat after me: Elora is sus.

In fact, I think that she's a Noxian spy. And let me tell you why.

Let’s start at the very beginning, with Mel’s very first scene, because I want to call your attention to a very specific detail.

In their introduction both Mel and Elora are wearing white attire - in colour theory this is the colour most frequently used to represent purity and innocence, but also peace and moral goodness. The colour is often also associated with new beginnings, and they are both, at this point, starting over in Piltover.

We don’t have the exact time frame for Mel’s exile other than that it lasted over a decade and that the timeskip might be somewhere around 5-7 years (not even the writers themselves have a definite answer), but it’s clear at this point that Mel is still just establishing herself in the city and that she has been appointed to the council only recently - as evidenced by her glaring gap in knowledge regarding Piltover’s anti-magic policies and much lesser political pull than we see her exact later on. It is quite obvious that Mel at this point is still motivated by proving herself to her mother and returning to Noxus at her earliest convenience, with Elora - likely a Noxian herself - following along.

After the timeskip, Mel’s actions remain more or less the same, but her motivations seem to have changed significantly. The plan of winning back her mother’s favour did not work, she is sceptical and a bit jaded, but she continues promoting her vision for Piltover regardless, finding fulfilment in helping the city progress. Notably, Mel’s wardrobe does not change; while she switches dresses on a few occasions, she still keeps to her iconic white dress in the majority of her scenes.

Elora, however, now seems to be showing her true colours so to speak, dressing herself in red - one of the primary colours on the Noxian colour palette. 

While Mel appears to be straying further and further from her initial objectives and instead starts to embrace Piltover as her new home; Elora’s wardrobe seems to be signalling the opposite - that she is a loyal servant of Noxus. Elora is, quite literally, a turncoat, her loyalty seemingly no longer lying with Mel, hence the contrasting colour palettes.

Now you might be wondering whose ass I pulled this idea from and my response is quite simple: the ass is called the script and it’s, in fact, not an ass at all. 

This manifests as a couple of lines that most of the audience would dismiss as throwaway, but if Arcane has taught me anything, it’s that almost everything is significant or will be at some point. Anyway, in their scenes, Elora is consistently bringing up Mel’s family, in one way or another trying to remind Mel of her original goal in Piltover - the approval of her mother. In fact, we find out in ep. 8 that Mel actively despises her mother and nigh immediately rejects Ambessa’s (albeit a very manipulative and transactional) attempt at reconciliation.

Now let’s take a look at those lines. First, we have ep. 4:

284: 00:20:23 --> 00:20:24 [Elora] Fundraiser's going well. 285: 00:20:26 --> 00:20:27 Your mother would be proud. 286: 00:20:28 --> 00:20:29 Hmm… Would she?

Here, Elora seems to be gently reminding Mel why she’s doing all this, but Mel appears to have resigned on ever garnering her mother’s attention, dismissing Elora’s remark. But the conversation becomes even more interesting when the subject turns to Jayce:

289: 00:20:36 --> 00:20:38 The only one actually worth my time is him. 290: 00:20:39 --> 00:20:41 The golden boy. [Elora chuckles] 291: 00:20:41 --> 00:20:44 Ah, he's won Piltover's heart.

Mel, with a chuckle, notes that Jayce has won over Piltover. But as she says so, she continues to gaze at a passing blimp with his painted face for some moments until Elora directs her attention to Jayce himself, entering the scene. Clearly the show is conveying more than is said.

A similar exchange happens in ep. 5:

332: 00:20:51 --> 00:20:52 He's been quite the investment. 333: 00:20:53 --> 00:20:55 Indeed. Better than expected.

Now this to me sounds like almost textbook example of deflection. While Elora does not ask her question directly, she appears to be probing Mel about her relationship with Jayce, which at this point we know is still strictly professional; however, Mel behaviour is already starting to betray her attraction to him. She avoids answering Elora’s inquiries about her feelings even as she stares at Jayce, or his likeness, with quite obvious heart eyes.

It’s interesting that even though the show casts Elora into the role of Mel’s shadowy confidante, informant and a possible spy, it would appear that Mel avoids confiding in her. Typically, a character of this ilk would be privy to such personal details, but not so Elora. Before initiating her relationship with Jayce, Mel seems to lack any familiar relationships in Piltover (going as far as dismissing other socialites as not worth her time) with the exception of Elora. Yet there are barely - if indeed any - hints at friendship between the two. It is all quite tepid. I suspect that this is actually because Mel knows that Elora is reporting all of her goings-on to her mother, as I shall demonstrate in a bit.

Now, why would Mel tolerate such a thing, you ask? Well, because the spy that you know about is far less dangerous than the spy that you do not. If Mel were to send Elora away, the next person sent to spy on her might be more covert. Moreover, her mother’s spy or not, Mel has uses for Elora, and the awareness of the connection between the two allows Mel to control the information flow somewhat. After all, Elora is present during Mel’s every single outing except for the council meetings, or her private moments with Jayce. And whenever Elora is not around, Mel is free to truly be herself. Notably, Mel’s first night with Jayce happens at his abode (you can read all about that in my sextech analysis), away from Elora’s prying eyes and ears, and here we see Mel break her public persona for the first time, confiding in Jayce that despite her conqueror upbringing, she would like to be a giver like him and lead society to enlightment.

And yet, when Ambessa Medarda arrives in Piltover, she appears to be incredibly well-informed in spite of Mel’s best efforts to deny her feelings for Jayce, immediately calling attention to the fact that Mel and Jayce are romantically involved (not just to Mel, but also to Jayce himself), moreover, that he’s considering building hextech weapons even though Mel had only asked him to arm Piltover in the previous episode:

193: 00:12:31 --> 00:12:34 Your Jayce Talis has turned his eye to Hextech weaponry. 194: 00:12:35 --> 00:12:36 [scoffs] I knew it.

332: 00:20:32 --> 00:20:35 [Mrs. Medarda] I see why this province and my daughter have fallen for you.

Given that we know Mel despises her mother and has not talked to her in over a decade, it is very suspect that Ambessa seems to be privy to the details of her daughter’s personal life. In fact, at this point, Ambessa likely has a better grasp on Mel’s feelings for Jayce than even Mel herself. So how does she know? Because, as I’ve said previously, Elora has relayed the information to her. 

Ambessa’s arrival appears to be incredibly convenient - not only has she arrived just in time to ask Mel for a hextech weapon to use against her political rivals, but possibly also to put an end to this new liaison that could potentially tether Mel to Piltover for good. Notice that Elora is very deferential, bowing throughout most of the scene, even though Ambessa addresses her in a cordial way.

Now that we’ve gotten the textual evidence out of the day, indulge me in a bit of theory-crafting. My theory is that Elora is a hostage of sorts to the Medardas (think Theon Greyjoy from A Song of Ice and Fire or Game of Thrones), her return to Noxus - to her home and family - might actually be conditioned by Mel embracing the Medarda philosophy and so ending her exile. It then makes sense why she would keep reminding Mel of her family, the once intense need for Ambessa’s approval, and attempt to gauge the true depth of Mel’s affections for Jayce. Without Mel, she can’t go back to her home.

Or - and I find this possibility especially intriguing - Elora is not only spying for Mel and on Mel for the Medardas, but also spying on the Medardas for a third party. And Noxus is certainly not lacking for interested third parties. Perhaps Elora might even be an important player of the game herself.

All in all, I’m really interested to see what s2 has in store for her, regardless of whether my conspiracy theories ultimately end up disproven or not.

Until then, remember: Elora is sus.

PS: Picture the kinds of reports Elora has sent Ambessa over the years, with these two idiots yearning for each other from afar. Ambessa probably received a fullblown 100k+ pining/unresolved sexual tension fanfic that we all deserve and some of us need 😏😂

Writing prompt anon again! Thank you for your reply :) I completely understand your situation ;) and yes, your Ambessa & Viktor story brought this on. Recently Ambessa/Elora was suggested, and it occured to me that Elora also has similarities with the boy toy from the show (and maybe even a little bit with Viktor). There is a definite vibe there (imo) ...Anyways, I would’ve prompted you to see what you'd make out of that ship - however, I really get that you can’t make promises etc. So now I'm wondering if instead you'd like to share thoughts on such a possible ship?

Sure, happy to share thoughts! I have a vague memory of seeing Ambessa/Elora pop up somewhere recently as well, although I can't recall exactly where...

Anyway I'm naturally supportive of basically any Ambessa femslash ship XD

Elora has to be top of her game, or she wouldn't be working with the Medardas, and that means she's smart, and probably political, and probably at least a bit cunning. I think that makes her good material for catching Ambessa's eye!

And could anyone blame Elora for being interested? I mean damn. Ambessa has presence. And winning Ambessa over could give Elora some new career options--if she was ever interested in going to Noxus or perhaps being Ambessa's eyes/ears/representative in Piltover.

Also, seducing Elora gives Ambessa something to tease Mel about, and I think she would. (And, if she wanted, she could possibly try to get Elora on her side vis-a-vis any disagreements with Mel.)

So you could either the antagonistic attraction route where Elora is still firmly on Mel's team but is attracted to Ambessa nonetheless, or a more cooperative angle where Elora either sympathizes with Ambessa's perspective or sees gain for herself in allying with Ambessa.

I'm going to put this in the tags in case anyone else has thoughts or fanwork to share!
