Kayle continued walking through the City, the terrace giving way to a descending promenade that opened into one of Aeternum Noctis's great festival arteries, a living river of motion, light, music, and warmth.
Lanterns drifted overhead in slow spirals. Market stalls glowed with soft elemental illumination. Aromas of mana-infused foods layered into the air like overlapping melodies.
And the Goddess of Light's avatar moved through it all with unhurried grace with Jax following her around.
He knew she had no power as just an Avatar and wasn't a threat, but he still decided to follow around and keep a keen eye on her just for good measure.
For several moments as they walked, neither spoke.
Kayle's gaze moved constantly, not scanning for threats, but observing the city. Watching children chase floating ember-lanterns.
