You don't have to remind me. I'm aware of the difference, since I once contributed one way more than the other in the undercity. So he mustered himself to dirty his hands for real, but that doesn't change policy, just puts a face to the inevitable anger that followed in the population. I'm sure you didn't exploit that.

Yet, I expect the reality of that situation tipped his hand some to that deal I heard the two of you attempted to foster. Maybe that's where we went wrong.


[They had done a lot right, but they had also done a lot wrong back in the day. He had no doubt that the upper echelons of Piltover were very aware of the suffering, but they had no incentive to make little more than minor improvements now and then.

[Skeptical. Did he have the moral high ground when it came to raising kids? Probably not. Each of them had their different methods, and he had to force himself to be open that Silco did want Jinx to succeed within reason.]

I'd stick my neck out if it was you too. We deal with our problems internally.

[Yeah, Silco was a problem, but he was Vander's problem.]
