Ah yes. [ Kim had, unintentionally, stepped into it. You see, Silco had grown up in the Undercity, grown up working in the mines, running in a gang, and then getting betrayed and drowned, by someone who had such a similar philosophy.
Silco was good at hiding it. Few people saw the person that he was beneath the Piltovan-friendly veneer. Perhaps Jinx, and Sevika, who had known him for so long, that she knew the monster he was before. Perhaps the Chembarons, when he'd suffocated the lot of them. His fingers tightened into the blanket he wore, the only barrier between him and that biting cold. He wasn't used to it, but it reminded him of that shock of cold water, that night he'd drowned. ]
Play nice, and let them walk all over you, yes? Help each other out. [ The mocking tone in his voice spoke volumes. ]
Quiet, complacent little mice that cower under the boots of enforcers, when they march through your city streets, to enforce Piltover's rules, until you're quiet, and complacent, so they can forget about the lot of you while you starve beneath them.
Helping each other out does a great deal, doesn't it?
