Politics is the simplest way to answer that. Without proper planning or support, my father would have interfered. Despite how he behaves, he is the head of a powerful territory.
Look - I believe you can do it by yourself. You're smarter than most people I know. But if you ever need someone to come in and rip up some carpet, I'm around. Jae-ha said he'd hop me around if I wanted.

I've got no idea. Sometimes it's like it picks up on what we've been talking about, like - the corn and peas thing.
I don't hate this one, though. So far.

[ that's what she assumes did it, at least. ]
It's quaint enough.
no subject
[ picks through some of the items. ]
If you could have a place to be here, what would it be?

I guess I should've expected that.

[ she picks up some kind of halloween decoration before putting it back down. ]
I don't have a huge love for flowers. Only that there are some memories that are better, over some that I could go without.
[ some nostalgia curls its way through her faint and indistinct emotions. ]
no subject
[ it's just a vibe. her head tilts slightly at the nostalgia she catches. ]
Never been in a meadow before. They're not exactly a thing in Piltover, but I bet they're great if they make you feel anything positive.

roxana remembers the glimpse in memories. ]
Is your city mostly underground? It's mostly that open fields like that feel less like a prison.
no subject
[ she digs through a box on one of the displays, looking through the brooches and things. ]
That's what I meant, though. Everything about you is locked away in a cage, so I get why you'd want to be somewhere that didn't feel like that.

[ she likes darkness as much as any gothic and edgy character, but she can't deny how nice the sun feels. ]
I suppose I can't refute that. I'd take my mother to a house hidden in the woods, if I could.
no subject
[ the sun is nice, she won't deny that either. ]
What's stopping you? [ not in a like, just go and get it way, because vi figures if it were possible roxana would have already done it. ]

You want to get rid of him, right?
no subject
I do, but what would cause him more misery is if another family took care of him, so I'll have to wait for that to happen. It shouldn't be too long.
no subject
[ bluntly. ]

The funniest thing about my father is that he's never considered I could betray him. [ she smiles. ] You'd do that for me, Vi?
no subject
a little flicker of something that's approaching loyalty, and then: ]
Sure. Wahoos, right, they've got to stick together. [ flippantly. ]
no subject
Wahoo... magnetic enough that we're drawing them all to this side.
[ it's a joke. roxana doesn't need to see more of them on this side. ]
no subject
[ dryly. ]
no subject
no subject
still... sort of dry: ]
Yeah, well. Aren't we all.

[ faintly teasing ]

That's a guy I wouldn't ever call a lord.
no subject
That's what anyone is doing whenever they choose to call him Childe instead of Tartaglia. Both of his names are an entertaining choice for him.
