[ Within her power, within her means, as long as they are treading a path that she can walk. But outside of outright harm and war, there are too many pieces she can agree with, and while she is well aware of the risks posed by allying with Silco at all...she needs to know what he's up to. She needs to keep an eye on him. Takasugi and the others, while willing to look in on her behalf, will never quite know what to look for and she cannot continue to endanger them.
This is something she has to take responsibility for. One day, they will return to Piltover, and while she fully expects Silco will turn and bury a knife in her chest...
For now, they can be allies. And perhaps one day he'll be willing to help her in turn.
The touch is, by far, the worst thing โ because it touches deep within her, trying to lure her into security. It wants her to trust Silco; it wants her to be willing to stay close. Even now, she won't let it drown her. Mel releases his hand once the contact is made, their efforts entwined. It's enough. ]
Thank you. For showing me.
[ Without the browbeating. But even with it, this was something she needed to see. And Silco's willingness...means something. That's all she's willing to admit. ]
