Ezreal shakes his head, "No, I'm sorry. I tried searching through the old Lunari temples, but nothing there gave any mention of a Moonstone. I thought I found something in the Plague Jungles one time, but some Noxian hunters cut that journey short."

"But, I am planning on heading down to the ocean with Ryze soon...perhaps I'll find something down there. Got my Pulsefire suit upgraded perfectly for it," He gestured toward his suit, which was hanging on the wall. If one was familar with the suit, they would definitely notice the new greener color and bulkier design, as well as the fact that it had been converted to a two piece instead of all one piece, "Costed me 2,000 gold...and was worth every cent."

She raises her eyebrow quizzically Well this is the first thing I hear something about this - while I'm sure there are plenty of treasures and secrets for you to explore, what could Ryze expect to find there? she furrows her brows as her gaze focuses on a blank spot, lost in thought. She speaks, uncertainty in her voice. Unless ... he found something worth investigating there.

She turns her attention towards Ezreal's pulsefire suit. She can't help herself from smiling bemusedly. Interesting design - although I can't help but think how much Nautilus comes to mind when I look at it. she turns her attention back to Ezreal, her eyebrow raised skeptically. Speaking of which, have you consulted him? Although his tale is tragic, perhaps his experience on the ocean floor might provide you with life-saving advice.

She sighs and crosses her arms to her chest, pursing her lips together. To be frank with you, I cannot help but worry about this expedition. I have never questioned your ability -or Ryze's - to handle situations and I won't do it now ... I wish to help champions in any endeavors they want to pursue, but the ocean? ... I cannot but feel quite helpless. she lets her head hang resigned

"Well considering how unexplored the ocean is, there's bound to be a whole heap of undiscovered treasures just waiting for me...and Ryze," Ezreal explained as he walked over toward a wall mounted map of Valoran, "He asked to come along on my next expedition and I see no problem having someone to catch me in case of traps."

Ezreal turned to his suit, "Well I do admit it is a bit more bulky that usual, but it get's the job done. This thing caused that crater in the Jungles a couple weeks ago. Luckily the high summoners were there to fill it in. And I've tried to speak with Naut, but every time I've tried to, either he's being summoned or I am."

Ezreal turned to the summoner with a raised brow, "Wait, you actually want to help us champions? I always thought you summoners thought of us as just little play things to move around and summon at will...no offense to you of course. I'm sure you're one of the more respectable summoners."

Tybresa looks at Ezreal with a blank expression as he speaks, only for a big smile to appear at his last remark. She can't help but let out a short giggle.

Hahah - oh Ezreal ... she lets out a soft sigh. While it is true - that there are summoners who only see champions as mere amusement toys...she shrugs.

I used to think so, too, when I first joined - I was only nineteen. I came around when the Iron Ambassador, Poppy, had applied to join as a champion herself. she smirks Caused quite a scandal when I first applied. she shakes her head

But that's not my point - let's just say, that being so long with the League, you eventually open your eyes ... you start seeing more than just little 'toys' waiting to be used on the playground - you see the outline of people of different shapes, coming from different places, each with their own unique background and way of thinking. The more you summon, the more you feel a certain bond with the champions - and not just the mundane 'Command me and I shall do so' bond - but something more ... familiar. I fear I cannot express myself the way I would like to, but I hope you get the idea ...

Nevertheless, I have been here for so long, you can almost say that the League is my family now. a sad smile appears on her lips And I will always strive my best to help those close to me, whether they realize it or not.

She gently massages her right temple as she lets out a bitter laugh Hah, by the Crystals ... don't mind me, I sound just like an old woman now. she chuckles And I quite feel like one too! How time flies. she looks at Ezreal, a bemused smile appearing on her expression Remember when your Essence Flux used to heal your allies while still harming your enemies?

((I miss playing support Ezreal now ... RIP Essence flux ))

((Try AP Ez))

Ezreal nodded back, "Yea I know what ya mean. I admit there are a few of you guys that I can feel a bit more...connected to. Just wish the League would tell us who was summoning us sometimes."

Ezreal's signature smirk reappeared at Tybresa's last statement, "Yea. I wished the League didnt dampen my Essence Flux so much. Did you know it originally was supposed to slow those hit, not just hinder their attacks." Ezreal chuckled a bit, "I guess they couldn't take the skill I brought with me."

Ezreal turned to Tybresa, "So I've wondered, what champion do you guys enjoy summoning the most?"

Tybresa shrugs. While the League has nothing against summoners and champions fraternizing, it is for the best that we do not give away our identity during matches. she taps her lower lip for a moment While I cannot give you the full definition of the rule, I can, however, provide you with an example - if a demacian summoner chooses the Hand of Noxus, for example, while he is forced to cooperate, thanks to the contract to the League,however he won't feel too motivated to follow that summoner's commands ... for obvious reasons. she raises her eyebrow slyly at Ezreal. And should said match turn out to be a disaster ... well, sometimes anonymity can really contribute for our safety ... she shrugs Of course, this could also prove beneficial should both the champion and summoner be ruled by the same code of morals. But... she taps her cheek with her index finger in a thoughtful manner I do suppose it -is- best overall if we do not divulge our identity on the Rift.

She lets out a soft giggle and smiles sweetly at Ezreal. Nobody could ever top you in a true display of skill, my friend. And I truly hope you will keep on being yourself, despite whatever changes the League makes to your arcane powers.

She seems taken aback by the question and crosses her arms to her chest as the ponders. I'm not sure what you mean exactly - of course, each summoner has their own choice of champions and I dare say, all champions are quite enjoyable to work with. raises eyebrow If you mean frequency, I notice there is quite a favor to those champions that are more straight-forward in combat - get in, vanquish the enemy and get out.

she narrows her eyebrows while tilting her head to the left, her expression quizzical Unless, you meant me, specifically?

"Oh, so most summoners can't handle those of us who take skill," Ezreal remarked, "Would explain how Garen and Darius remain so popular."

Ezreal shook his head, "I meant in general, but since you brought it up, who's your favorite to summon?"

Tybresa lets out a girlish giggle. Why, Ezreal! How mean! she covers her mouth with her hand as she continues snickering. While it is true that both the Hand of Noxus and the Might of Demacia are easier to .... maneuver - she clears her throat, trying to subdue her amusement - I can assure you there are plenty of summoners who know the potential of truly powerful champions, like Anivia or yourself, and take advantage of that in quite a spectacular fashion on the fields.

Hmmm. she tilts her head slightly as she thinks, the bemused smile never leaving her expression. That is quite a hard question, since there are so many I truly enjoy bonding with ... she blinks. Of course - in the summoning sense. she clears her throat. Although lately, situation has brought me more often with the Maven of Strings, the Rise of Thorns and the Enlightened One as a supporting presence...

she waggles her finger. Ah! But recently I had a brilliant opportunity to collaborate with the Burning Vengeance and the Nine-tailed Fox in the middle lane of the Rift! And let's not forget about the brilliant performance the Winter's Wrath and I had in the jungle! she claps her hands in delight Oh, and Elise is quite the Queen up the top lane - and Darius always led the charge as towards the Nexus as soon as his opponent is vanquished.

She shrugs with an apologetic expression on her face. I'm sorry - it's very hard for me to simply settle for one single champion - I had the opportunity to summon them all at least twice or so, and they all offer unique experiences which I found quite enjoyable...

She lets out a soft sigh before looking at Ezreal, raising her eyebrow inquisitively. And what about you? Which champions do you prefer having alongside you on the Fields? she taps her cheek wuth her finger for a moment In fact, what about -outside- the Rift? With whom do you get along with the most? she lets out a soft chuckle And don't say everyone - while I am sure your charming personality has won you quite some friends, I will have a hard time believing that you go for drinks every occasional evening with General Darius himself. she snickers, finding the image amusing.

Tybresa nods her head. Taric and Leona are quite popular picks whenever you are summoned - despite their knightly appearance, they can be quite deadly. And Orianna is indeed a marvel to behold on the Fields, managing to damage enemies while effectively keeping her allies safe.

She smiles sweetly at Ezreal. Understandable - Luxanna is indeed, one of a kind ... I still remember her from my Academy days back in Demacia - quite right you are, she managed to see past the golden shell of the social castes and see the rotten core within ... she clears her throat and rolls her eyes. And I am not surprised of you mentioning Sona - I admit, I often pick her as your laning partner whenever the opportunity arises. she grins A very fruitful combination, to be sure.

Tybresa lets out a sigh. While it is certainly that summoners do have it easier - we do not have to fight other champions to death, some with whom you might be friends with - it wasn't always so easy. I doubt you remember it, you hadn't joined the League then - but when I was admitted summoner, we did not have the huge array of champions to pick from. Conflicts would often spark and it took a long time for a match to actually begin.

She shakes her head. Oh, and how could I forget the commotion whenever a Nexus Crystal had stopped working, causing the summoners to lose their focus from their champions and so countless matches were compromised.

Tybresa raises her hands dramatically towards the ceiling, her expression mirroring fake exasperation had it not been for the amused smile playing on her lips. And the paperwork! Once I became the third Steward, I had so much paperwork to go through - champion surveys, summoner applications, Institute maintenance reports, Nexus Crystal Power gauging. Suffice to say, I think I spent a whole month simply filing paperwork before I began summoning again.

She lets her hands fall down before assuming her usual, lady-like posture. Of course, things became much more smoother now - while I still have to go through paperwork, my work is now divided with other stewards. The high summoners had finally found a solution to stabilize the Nexus Crystals and so we can have thousands of matches going simultaneously without them cracking under the pressure. she chuckles And as for the champion pool problem - well, I do believe that problem fixed itself when the Seneschal of Demacia joined the League.

She tilts her head slightly, looking at Ezreal with a bemused expression. Of course, one easily overlooked these problems when they became a summoner - there is quite a satisfaction to be achieved, not to mention the paths that open once you are admitted. she shrugs And I always enjoyed working with champions, whether on the Fields of Justice or outside it.

She stays silent for a couple of moments, her expression blank before snapping her fingers together.

There is one more question I want to ask of you - remember what we spoke earlier, about Nami and the Moonstone? My original intention was to ask you whether you had any materials mentioning the Moonstone so I may study them with my own expertise. While I am happy that we have her as a champion of the League, what with her amazing aquatic powers and lovely personality, I wish to help her with her quest.

((Jesus christ I need to learn to stop writing wall-texts. Thank you for bearing with me and my humongous style of writing, I really enjoyed RP'ing with you <3 ))
