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.

It's quaint enough.

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. ]

[ 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.

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. ]

[ it's a joke. roxana doesn't need to see more of them on this side. ]
