This must be the alternative universe where I can only make awful jokes...

Some of us do have fun.

@zaunfree replied: You heard it, hound. I get to have some /fun/ with you.

Oh boy, oh boy. What board games are we going to be playing today?

Deep down, Vi knew that Silo was right. Soon or later all of this attention to attract piltover. They wouldn't just send one enforcer over, but many. The more animalistic side of her, the one that controlled her rage, welcomed it. However, the human side of her recognized the risks. She was at war with dual parts of herself.

"It..." Vi forces herself to look away from him. She couldn't let him see the pain in her eyes underneath all of the previous anger. "It wasn't my intention to dishonor them. I thought by hurting those bastards that maybe..." A deep sigh followed. "Maybe I could make my mother proud."

What she didn't say out loud was that she hated being called Violet. Violet is what her parents called her. Violet is what Vander had called her. They were dead and now her name was a reminder of that.

"I will never make her proud, not when even the sight of them makes me so angry. I can't control myself. I see blood." Bloodied bandages fell to the floor, revealing bruised and nearly broken hands from when she'd hit the armor. "I'm not some child prodigy like, Powder nor do I have shit like shimmer. All I have are my fists. So what makes you think I can do any good?"

A furrow forms in Silco's brow as he stares down at the unfamiliar word. New slang, perhaps? Its meaning clicks, thankfully, before he can make the fatal error of summoning Jinx to ask. He leans back and swirls his whiskey.

This is far from the first time I've been accused of having an ego, but I'll grant you that it is the most creative.

He takes a sip, a dry smirk spreading against the glass.

What else but unmatched passion for our cause? Together we would be... unstoppable.

"Vander, you have to help me, please… I've made a terrible mistake!" The lawyer's beyond flustered as he all but shoulders his way into the bakery. "I need a cake by tomorrow! It's my daughter's birthday and I've been so busy with a case, it entirely slipped my mind to order——" He cannot break a promise to Powder.

Vander wasn't sure which was more concerning: the plea for help in and of itself, or the way the ordinarily composed lawyer comes rushing into the establishment. The brunet's eyebrows raise, and likewise do those grey-blue eyes widen. Before he can fully finish washing and wiping down his hands, the baker is already on his way from behind the counter to try and render some semblance of comfort -- by way of hands on Silco's shoulders.

The fact that Silco has a daughter does not go ignored, at least not internally. Does that mean there's someone in his life already, too? (Not that it would surprise him, with how handsome and passionate Silco is.)

It almost seems responsible to tell Silco that cakes are, by far, not his specialty... and yet the burly man hesitates. How would he feel if the shoe was on the other foot, and he had forgotten to order a cake for his own daughter? He'd be just as frantic, probably, even if Vi might not mind as much as he would. What started as a pensive little frown and a furrow of his brows soon shifted into the faintest of smiles.

Silco's shoulders received squeezes. He nodded. "Alright, alright. From one dad to another, I'll do it," Vander assures. "Now breathe, so you can tell me what kind of cake she'd want."

"Is that a feta and spinach scroll in the back there? I feel a little... cheesy this morning, I think."

He tried hard not to laugh at that. (Okay, that's a lie -- he didn't try at all.) In the end, the other man's reward for his silly pun was a chuckle and a broad grin. The mentioned roll is taken out and packed up neatly for him.

"You're cute, you know that?" Vander teased as he set to work making his usual coffee to go with it.

"You attacked enforcers, unprovoked. Again?" It's as if Violet wants to incite another incident. Silco's clearly furious. "Do you not think, girl?!"

While most would shudder at anger from Silco, Vi merely sat there and took it. There was no sense of panic or fear that there would be too heavy or repercussions. Even if there were, she had been far too rage filled to think about it. As far as she was concerned, it was a disappointment that said enforcer still lived.

“Who said it was unprovoked?” Disinterested eyes glanced up at him, clearly unphased by the incident. Vi continued to do the bloody wrappings on her hands and arms. “They still think they’re better than us, I had to teach this one a lesson.”

After a moment she relented, however, and let out a deep sigh. “They’re the reason my parents are dead. Why I saw hundreds dead that night. What good does it do leaving them without punishment?”

If you turn Sevika's arm into a vibrator, I will make sure you will do nothing more than scrub the Drop's floors for the rest of your life.

My sweet Silco, you’d have me on my hands and knees? I would gladly do that for you. Only if you promise to watch 🖤
