Another day in the Institute of War. Nidalee was the first to wake up today. She got to the living room... and saw her roommates sleeping on the couch.

Both Grey and Ahri were leaning on each other. The Nine-Tailed Vastaya was leaning on Grey's shoulder with her ears twitching at every sound Nidalee made, while the Abyss Watcher was leaning back and letting his lover lean on him.

Nidalee couldn't help but think that the sight was sweet. "Alright, you two, time to wake up," the huntress called out to them.

Ahri's ears twitched before she woke up first. She yawned while stretching. "Morning," she greeted.

"Good morning," Nidalee returned the greeting before her look softened. "How are you feeling?"

Ahri knew that the huntress was most likely worried about her state from yesterday. "Better, at least. Sorry for the way I acted," she apologized. She hasn't completely got over it, and she didn't want to see Kindred any time soon, but spending last night playing and teaching Grey was pretty fun.

Nidalee shook her head. "Don't worry about it. I'm just glad you're back to your usual self," she replied before looking at the still sleeping Abyss Watcher. "Are you going to wake him up?"

the nine-tailed Vastaya nodded and grabbed her lover's shoulder. "Grey, wake up," she said shaking him gently.

After a few moments, Grey's eyes opened. "Morning," he greeted with a yawn.

"Good morning," Ahri greeted back as she stood up from the couch. "Did you enjoy the games last night?" she asked.

"Yeah, they were fun," Grey admitted as he also stood up. "Though I have to admit, I didn't know what was going on most of the time."

"Don't worry, you did better than I thought, especially considering you never had to deal with technology before," Ahri said as she and Grey walked into their room to get ready

Nidalee couldn't help but smile. Obviously, Ahri didn't get over why she was upset yet, but she was at least starting to act more cheerful. The Huntress didn't think it would be too long before she's back to her old self.

Grey, Ahri, and Nidalee were walking to the dining hall to have breakfast. On their way, they saw Tiara. "Hey, Tiara," Grey called out.

The Dancer turned around when she heard her brother, and the three roommates saw the bored look on her face. "Oh, hey," she greeted in a tone that matched her features.

"Is something wrong?" Grey asked.

Tiara shook her head. "No, just bored out of my mind," she answered before she joined them in walking to the dining hall. "I haven't had any matches yet. Plus, there's nothing to do here, so I'm pretty bored."

"I'm sure we'll find something to do," Grey said, shrugging his shoulders. "After all, this place holds Runeterra's most interesting people."

"You call them interesting, I call them weaklings and weirdos," Tiara retorted, causing Ahri and Nidalee to roll their eyes.

They all got into the dining hall before taking food and finding a table to sit in. They just ate in silence, which caused Tiara to be even more bored. The only entertainment she found was watching matches that were already going.

"Hey, Tiara," Katarina appeared, walking towards them with someone beside her.

That person was a man wearing a blue, hooded cloak with the edges being covered in blades. They had tight, dark blue clothes under the cloak. Their right arm had a gauntlet with a long blade on it. Not much of his facial features were visible because of the hood.
