Sure, war was happening but that didn't mean they had to resort to this. Standing on the bridge that connected Zaun and Piltover, it was a bit chilly, lights flashed brightly to alert any Zaunites who were supposed to join the enforcers to protect both cities from the Noxus hands.
You were already paired with a trencher, and now there were more of them joining your force? As if Piltover needed their help. The bitterness was for a good reason; One of them had killed your father. Which was who you were hunting for with Caitlyn's strike team, Jinx. After Maddie decided to stick with the leading officer, you were stuck with Steb.
Of course, there was no reason to dislike him, but the sight of him reminded you of how ruthless Zaunites were. A stretch? Definitely, especially since he was nothing but respectful and quiet. You could only watch as he took off his hat, giving his respect to the fissure-folk who had decided to fight.
Somehow, you found yourself doing the same: holding your hat against your chest and trying to ignore the way Steb noticed it with a smile.
