Delusional, are you? To put words in my mouth like that.
[ Callisto could do the speaking for him... (NO) ]
Perhaps the experience will continue to teach him a lesson worth learning. He will become stronger for it. [ Silco wants to see every kid get fucked up and become a monster though. Just look at jinx! ]
Oh quite different. I could be uprooted anytime if someone thought I was slipping. It is far more precarious than what you all deal with. Besides, I'm one of them. Many of us grew up in the mines together.
[ The few that are left living now. The number has dwindled to nearly nothing. ]
If not in your mouth, then pray tell, where should I have put them?
[ truly (no) him larping as silco ]
Or he will simply crumble by the next year. Not all people acquire strength at their worst hours. [ their ongoing gamble... in a year, we check back on this kid. remind me... ]
I have a hard time envisioning you as a very good miner. You're far more well-suited to being what you are now. [ whatever that is through callisto's eyes. ] As for being uprooted... well, the royal family may not be exactly what you think.
[ shoulda put them up your ass]I find words like these are best left unspoken.
If he crumples, then that is his weakness. Does he deserve to continue, if he does? My people are not given that luxury, why should he?
[ damb silco ]
I am better suited for it, the foremen would have agreed with you. To be fair, I had helped them organize. Prior to what I do now, I was quite the community builder. [ Half of one. He didn't do the community stuff, he did the planning, while the amenable half of their little operation did all the social things.
but, at the mention of "my people" again— ] Do you not think that borders on obsession? You will find most "people" like to be cut loose sometimes. [ says callisto. ]
Is that what we are calling it now? A "community builder." You did seem to do a decent job on the streets here, as well. From what it sounds, it seems the people may be easier to move here than back in your lands.
[ didn't silco say something to the effect at the gala, or was he simply presuming the man's objectives would remain the same in any place? callisto finds that people's character was the hardest thing of all to change. his own included. ]
Not just him, but your people. No one appreciates a ruler in which does not know when to leave the ball early, for example. [ who relaxes around their own boss, for example? definitely no cedrick. though that might be for entirely different reasons... like callisto totting a corpse around a noble's birthday party. nbd. ]
For you, let's hope that's the case. Well, either way, it seems you're a man full of suspicions, doubt, and zero room for trust. I am sure you will do just fine even without my advice.
... and now, you have something to look forward to in the cafeteria.

Silco, however, will not mention that. ]

[ In the end, Silco doesn't care about the kid. Hell!! His own kid is here, so he's... 100% more focused on that now. ]
Of course I do. I speak the language they do. We are similar in kind, and they respond. Especially to an experienced hand.
[ Which he does have. To everyone's dismay. ] Hopefully they will continue to take guidance well.

[ Silco has the wildest nightclub in zaun and he rarely shows his face, introverted little motherfucker. ]
I did fine without your advice to start, so perhaps I will, hm?
[ Silco and Callisto are just. So mean to one another. Good for them. ]
Perhaps next time I am in the cafeteria, I will think to light it on fire. Especially if there's another picture of me on there I don't like.
