Taliyah got a nickname - Little Sparrow.

Taliyah knew about sparrows. This small bird had an extraordinary ability to survive. She could see them in Shurima, Noxus, and Ionia.

Maybe...this nickname is because I hope I can be as strong as a sparrow?

Taliyah, who huddled in a ball and warmed herself by the fire, was a little confused about what Mr. Yasuo meant, but as a reward for her savior, she acknowledged the nickname.

Sparrow...just a sparrow!

The severe cold has not completely recovered, but Taliyah's physical condition is still good. After Yasuo's careful care, she is now able to move.

Although the dried meat and acorns were a bit too greasy, it was good to have something to eat in this remote place.

"Mr. Yasuo." Taliyah took the roasted crispy meat and looked at her savior, "I really don't know how to thank you..."

"If you must thank me." Yasuo waved his hand, tore off a piece of dried meat and threw it into his mouth, "Then don't use honorifics with me - I am only twenty-five years old this year, and I am not seventy or eighty years old.

"

Taliyah wanted to say, "You look like you are thirty when you haven't shaved or combed your hair." But considering that it was too rude, she could only nod her head and agreed.

"It's you, little sparrow." Yasuo used his scabbard to pull out an acorn from the fire. After peeling it open, he threw the hot flesh directly into his mouth and chewed it without caring about its temperature.

, "How are you now? Can you get up and take action?"

"It's still a little difficult for the moment." Taliyah shook her head, "My hands and feet are shaking a little - maybe it won't get better until tomorrow."

"But, I think you can control stones." Yasuo blinked and pointed at the stone pier where he was sitting, "Using stones, you can move around even if you are lying down, just like riding a car.

"

"I..." Upon hearing this, Taliyah blushed with embarrassment, "I can't control this power very well. It's okay when I act alone. If you are by my side, it's very powerful.

May be injured."

"Me? Injured?" Yasuo seemed to have heard something funny and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, "Haha, little sparrow, if you can make me injured, it's definitely because you can't control the power - I can

It’s not that easy to get hurt!”

Taliyah wanted to say something, but before she could say anything, she began to cough violently - and as Taliyah began to cough, the rocks she had woven before lost control.

If Yasuo hadn't reacted quickly and jumped up so high, the stone spear he had just sat on could have told him why the chrysanthemum was so red.

The cough made Taliyah blush, and she was very frustrated at this time.

I originally wanted to use my own power to do what I could after Mr. Yasuo left, to at least make my savior feel more comfortable, but I accidentally almost killed Yasuo...

At this time, Taliyah felt a little shameless.

However, even though he faced a sudden attack and almost had his chrysanthemums blooming, Yasuo did not show any sign of anger. He cautiously approached the stone spear, and then carefully looked at the suddenly deformed stone.

"What an interesting spell!" He reached out and touched the smooth stone spear, and Yasuo said with great interest, "How did you transform? I mean, I didn't see you chanting a spell or anything, it just

Suddenly it turned into a stone spear."

"...I don't know either." Although Yasuo's nonchalant look made Taliyah relax a little, the little sparrow was still very frustrated. "It's like weaving a blanket. Sometimes I can weave stones.

It becomes what I want it to be - but my weaving skills are not as good as those of my grandma and mother...so the stones sometimes get out of control."

"What a unique and amazing talent." Yasuo's tone was full of admiration, "You only need to train step by step, and you will become a grandmaster."

Progressive exercise?

Taliyah smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"I also want to - but no one can guide me, and I can't even guarantee whether the teacher who guides me will be injured by the sudden deformation of the stone."

"So, guiding a talented student is not an easy task." Yasuo sat down again leaning on the stone spear, "When we talk about this topic, I really feel sorry for my teacher..."

The topic soon turned to Elder Suma.

Because he had been chased by Varus for a long time and was under great pressure, Yasuo rarely complained about his teacher - that stubborn but lovely old bachelor.

Taliyah, on the other hand, hugged her knees and sat by the campfire, quietly listening to Yasuo telling those interesting past events. The firelight reflected her shadow on the cave wall, and each line seemed to be a foraging creature.

Like a little sparrow.

"...So, I sometimes wonder." Yasuo unscrewed the water bottle and took a sip, "How could he be so petty as a grown man? You know, just because a senior brother used him to make a bet, the result would always be

Anyone who was discovered was punished to wash clothes for the entire sect, including socks..."

"...and that time, it was obvious that he read the wrong words when he read out the meaning of the sutra. As a result, the senior brother who corrected him was drawn every time in the drawing of lots for the next day's competition. In the end, he almost won seven rounds in a row.

Tired and dehydrated…”

"..."

"..."

Yasuo, who started chatting, did not save any face for Elder Suma. He said whatever he wanted, and as the only listener, Taliyah felt dumbfounded.

But...as she listened, Taliyah was suddenly filled with envy.

It would be great if Elder Suma was his mentor - although he is petty and saves face, he always does what he says and is conscientious.

Taliyah really wanted to have a mentor who could teach her how to control this power!

In front of the bonfire, Taliyah's eyes shone with the light of desire.

"Why, you seem to have other ideas?" Yasuo noticed the change in Taliyah's eyes and took a sip of water with a half-smile, "Do you want to be my junior sister?"

Taliyah was stunned for a moment, then she mustered up her courage and nodded.

"……Um!"

"Don't think about it." Yasuo shook his head mercilessly, "You can't pass any of the three wind trials - you and him are not compatible. He doesn't understand stones or the earth, and neither do you.

Understand the strong wind."

Taliyah blinked her eyes, suddenly feeling inexplicably aggrieved.

She doesn't know why, but she always feels that Yasuo does it on purpose!

Then, just as the little sparrow stretched out his hand to rub his nose, Yasuo suddenly hung the water bag back on his waist, then sat upright and looked at Taliyah with a serious face.

The next moment, Yasuo's words turned Taliyah's sadness into joy.
