[Silco considered the limited options that didn't involve outright removal - which was perfectly fine by him - as the enforcers set themselves up to appeal to his better nature. If there was actually Piltover and he needed access to those markets, he might consider trying to buy them.
He would not hand over Jinx, which made him consider eliminating this threat before Jinx inevitability did.]
Would it now? I see nothing beneficial to being a scab. Least of all to my own flesh and blood. [He made a point of looking at his own fingernails.]
[ oh, this is news to them. are the two related? family? it's hard to pinpoint given that zaunites often take in others who are not kin, but whatever the case may be, the leader decides to take this to a different approach. ]
With all due respect, Sir, protecting her will not help her. Keeping the culprit off the streets will mean less bloodshed from not just on our side, but yours, as well. I know this is a difficult situation, but turning her in will be the right thing to do. For her sake, too.
[Oh, appealing to his parental sensibilities now? This pair had no idea who they were dealing with, which was fine by him. He kept things on the down low for many years, though enforcers usually went for the stick rather than any carrot.
He waved the appeal away with a hand and made a point to lean back on the edge of the bar.]
Don't tell me what's right for my child. That's my job to decide. However, I could make it worth your while to drop these allegations and never search for my daughter again.
What will make it worth our while is to bring her into custody and to finally end the violence between our cities.
[ the solider behind then leader continues to tense and awaiting to take further measures, but the front end resumes to keep his arm blocking his path as they all stood. ]
If you keep hiding your daughter's whereabouts, we will be forced to take you in as well. We are trying to avoid that action.
That will never happen while you walk the streets of the undercity brutalizing its citizens.
[There would never be a peace even with a deal between the two. There were centuries of bad blood, and that would take considerable time to mend. There wasn't enough time for any of them to still be walking the surface of Runeterra to see it.
He waved a hand in the air to dismiss the threat. He wasn't impressed then and he wasn't impressed now.]
Are you? If you were, you'd be gone already. Your names? I wish to lodge a complaint with your commander.
Collins. And my partner is McVean. If you wish to make a complaint, our commander is Sheriff Kiramman. Our orders from her is to bring Jinx into custody, unharmed.
[ with adding that last little bit make a difference? possibly not, but he feels it's still worth mentioning. the man sighs quietly as he signals the other man to retreat out the establishment. ]
We'll give you some time to think this over. If you need to reach us, we will be at Kiramman's Agency.
[Silco made mental notes of those names and intended to immediately move against these two should they actually have family. He also didn't entirely believe that Kiramman would risk disturbing the uneasy truce, but if she was involved, he had already decided to take action against her as well.
Enough was enough. He had the resources to make life very uncomfortable for those that he wished to, and it was about time he applied that pressure.]
Indeed, I will be certain to look into this matter personally, Collins. Now get out.
