[Jayce throws it back with at least some practice, but still squeezes his eyes shut and makes a noise of complaint when it goes down harsh.]
Did you pick the cheapest one on purpose?
[Ugh, it's still on his tongue. He'll finish the rest of his beer to try and settle the taste.
He's only getting off easier for now- he did the shot to ease his nerves enough for what he's about to get into. One of the very topics Sevika vehemently defended when they last spoke like this. With glass empty and on the counter, he can feel the warmth already spreading to his face and stomach. Better go for it now, before it actually gets to his brain.]
Shimmer. You said it was your largest source of defense and income- I checked the shipping manifests for half a year prior to the Progress Day attack. Silco planned on shipping Shimmer outside of Piltover using the Hexgates that day.
[That much isnโt a question, but a statement of fact.]
But for how much of Shimmer Silco was producing, it was disproportionately being used more by your own people than by topsiders. Was Piltover really the target demographic for profits sake, or was it about exerting control over a populace that had nothing to lose? And when you say defense- you mean the shimmer-infused soldiers that I saw, don't you? Were they even conscious people anymore? Or just mindless slaves?
