Please tell me there's a pet store or anything like that in this stupid place. I need a cage. Or at least a muzzle for something with way too many damn teeth.

[ Surprise! Sevika did manage to hatch the egg she was handed. Less surprise, what hatched has a mean streak. ]

I said biting isn't my thing.

[He would neither confirm nor deny the violence part. He knows she knows.]

Strange, mine hatched too but only spat out clothes that fit. Maybe this place thought you needed a pet you could control.

If it thought that, it could have at least given me something normal. Dog. Cat. A fucking lizard. Anything is better than a stupid poro.

Poros are apparently high class pets. Must mean you're becoming a high class lady.

[ wait, is that why she got a poro, is this place mocking her and her incredibly unwanted promotion ]

Like hell I am. You know better.

Do I? Well, I did hear you're in the big leagues now. Positions come with perks.

[He meant second-in-command to Silco; he had no idea she was a councilor.]

[ May he never find out. ]

Unless we're counting Jinx as an obnoxious pet, the only actual perk it comes with is bigger headaches.

[Hey, he'd be proud!]

Second-in-command is the hardest working position in any organization. You get the aches from both ends.

[ That's the last thing she wants?! ]

Only if you care enough to make everything work. You wouldn't know much about that, barman.

[It can't be the absolute last. Maybe close to the bottom.]

It's true, everything fell apart when you departed that fateful evening. Always knew you had your shit together from the start.

If you want to chase that topic around in a circle, Vander, do it somewhere less public. Do you know anything about poros or not?

[ aka hello silco is reading this? my dude? ]

[Oh, he knew. He was doing it on purpose.]

Oh. Hit a nerve? Probably not yours at least. Of course I do. They're omnivores, prefer cooler climates, and stick their tongues out when they are too warm. Want more?

Consider this: I'm already at my limit of how much bitching I can take today.

[ She doesn't need to hear even more from Silco right now. ]

Cooler climates. Guess I should have stuffed the thing in the fridge instead. Know if they're meant to be vicious?

Huh, I guess I should be nicer to you, shouldn't I?

[Sorry, he was still a little salty about the cannery incident.]

They're magical creatures, though apparently said to be made of love. I guess yours loves biting.

You could also just not talk to me. Amazing how that works.

[ Vander really can't help himself, though, can he? ]

Made of love. Are you joking? Pretty sure the only thing this one is made of is spite.

If that's what you want.

[It's all boomer energy over here. He can't help himself; this tech is so new and shiny to him.]

Maybe you hatched a mutation?

Must be. This thing is definitely better suited for Zaun than in some pampered Piltover house.

They're established all across Runeterra. A group of them is called a fluft.

A fluft.

[ Is he serious? ]

Perhaps you should consider your words more carefully. Leaders should know better than to miss the nerve they're striking for.

Oh, unless you weren't aiming for Sevika.

Perhaps you should try being more direct, if you're so starved to start another argument you have to run away from.

[ Oh great, heeere we go. ]

[Hold on a second. How did Silco know what he had typed? Imagine that, Vander learned an important lesson today about technology. This was like a public message board for written missives but digital! Amazing!

Silco messaging him here. Not amazing.]

You're too kind calling me a leader these days. I hung up that hat some years back to raise a family. Are you upset with me? I can't imagine why.

Playing at dimwitted doesn't suit you, Vander.

[ also insulting to him!!?? ]

If you're going to insult me through Sevika, at least have the decency to do it directly.

What does suit me then?

[He was playing this carefully, now aware of just how public it was Thanks for the lesson, slugger.]

You're mistaken. She and I were having a casual conversation. Eavesdropping now?

Cowering like a struck hound, obviously.

[ ugh he'll be so mad if he finds out. ]

Playing at innocence also doesn't suit you. This is public. It's not eavesdropping if I have to scroll past it.

Ah yes, tail between my legs, trembling at the knees, head hanging low. Don't forget those puppy dog eyes.

[Of course, now that he was armed with this knowledge, he was looking through the other messages.]

Ha, you were bitten by a poro? Must be the negative energy you give off.
