How is rushing to a situation they know little about with dangers they haven't prepared for heroic? It sounds foolhardy to me.

if U got kidnapped and about to be gobbled up by a big squishy monster, ill rush in too. BUT!!!! ive been TRAINED to do stuff like that. and and and aaaaaannnd i jog 2x a day, practice my shooting, adjust or make MORE bombs, AND i kill those weird plant wiggles on my downtime. makes sense for me to come in and take care of whatever is out there. but THOSE wet noodles? do they even know how to fight? ive only seen 2 people do really cool stuff.

I appreciate the sentiment. Perhaps I've forgotten some of the spontaneity of youth after my time at the top of the Undercity where rushing in was a good way to die.

[He'd always been a planner and a schemer even in his youth. He didn't have size on his side, and the Undercity had been just as rough then as it was now.]

All the more reason to keep you off of the island in case it was little more than a one-way ticket. Besides, while they are gone on their little mission, they leave behind plenty of opportunities here that I intend to take full advantage of. Two people here or in total of your lifetime?

one-way ticket? uh yeah! for the monsters, not me. it takes a lot to kill a jinx. also all this business stuff u do sure do stink! keeping on eye on them makes me want to blow my brains out, shove it BACK in my head then shoot it out again. 2 here. WAIT NO! 3. ive seen 3 nifty things.

[One of her own explosives as close range. Believe him, he knew what it took to kill her and he wasn't looking for any kind of repeat performance.]

It's a necessary evil to advance our cause. Besides, the fact that few want to do it means that I have a near monopoly on it and that benefits us. Do enlighten me.

if u say so, silco! this is more ur thing than mine. less talky, more pew pew kachooo SPLAT KABLEWIE. u already know one! mr. mind blower. the other is yu-yu. he summoned some lady with a card. and ragna is super strong too. thats why hes my partner.

Yes well, firearms never were my specialty. That you can makes you my bodyguard. Summoning a woman with a card? That must be a brothel trick. It is good you surround yourself with powerful people. As long as they remain loyal.

brothel trick!! HA HA HA AH AH AHA HAHAHAHA! that's so funny!!!! hey hey MAYBE back home hes the head of that!!! he looks smooth enough to pull it off. hell yeah im ur bodyguard! the best there is.

You laugh, but I've seen similar tactics. That does appear to be an establishment that is lacking in Aldrip. I assume it is more of a behind the scenes business model. I'm sure I'll call on your services soon enough.

u got something lined up for me already?

Depends how the situation in Rumpitur falls.

im sure theyll be fiiiiiine. they were lil babies. not their fault.

We will make certain that is true.

if too many want to put them under arrest or kill them, do i stick for them or let it happen? theyre not my people yet so should i be doing anything?

Given you are in Aldrip, you can hardly step in easily. You'll have to let it happen if it goes that way, and you have the upper hand of being righteously outraged by the treatment.

thats smart, yeah. ok then! ive been thiiiiiiiinking since i couldnt make a bakery thing with usagi, maybe for the rumpies i can go there and do some free meals thing. give out food for them since theyre super down on their luck.

Agreed. Setting up a business and doing what you can to spur their economy is worthwhile. Let them see you so they are willing to eventually trust.

yeah! and besides... they remind me a lot of zaun and our people. i kinda feel bad for them. the only people who deserve to live like how we did are the topsiders.

Our people have far more of a backbone, though I will admit they are innovative to deal with the threat that had been plaguing them.

yeah. our people wanted to fight back. these snake people wanted to do the coward thing. but maybe i can train them to be stronger. how to fight and stuff. i dont know how fast they can be but i think they can be pretty good for distant combat.

Our people had no choice but to fight back. Too long they had slaved away for Piltover's gain that they wanted to breathe freedom. Better to die for a cause than to die knowing you mean nothing. They will be slow in combat, but they can also likely be stealthy. It would be interesting to give them to means to defend themselves and see what they did with the opportunity.

guess this means ill have to make time to teach them how to shoot guns. UUUGHH theres so much to DOOOOO!!!! is THIS what its like being a leader of a nation?

That would be advisable. Yes. You make sacrifices to bring up your people with the expectation that if you'd done your job correctly, they will make sacrifices of equal and higher value and your enemies will be dead.

so when do u have time for fun?

You make time for fun, but you choose your times when it will either have the least impact on your operation or allows to be visible as personable.
