More the fool them, I suppose. This is a business transaction, and burning the bridge of your business is unacceptable.
[ It's a cold sort of logic, but a valid one. Silco may drug his thugs, bully his chembarons, and murder those that get in his way, but when their goals are aligned? He was an amenable leader. It is why he was in charge of Zaun for so long, and why he survived as a weak, reedy youth. Yes, of course, he could and would take on those who would betray him, but...
He also did not show half the disdain for those he respected, and he did respect Sebastian. His power, yes, but also his attitude and opinions. He had a wealth of knowledge and skills, and was invaluable. He had not betrayed or done Singed dirty, and while he and Sevika had tension... He would hardly say that he was a cruel boss.
Respect was something that carried in Zaun. When one had it, and when one didn't. Treating Sebastian like a slave would do no more than make him quick to be done with their deal, and unpleasant on top of it. ]
Well, I suppose their lack of foresight is no matter now, though it is novel. Interesting, in fact. They remind me of a few people I know of, through this context alone.
[ Of course they do. Because, of course they do. ]
