[ It's automatic, a snap. It's easy to keep twisting that knife. He doesn't even have to think. Vander had always tried to cut back, and he was good. That much was clear. Silco, though, hadn't been able to hone muscles or weaponized skill. His power was with words, and words he would use. He lets it slip out. Accuse him of lashing out when something he doesn't like happens?
Him?
Silco was controlling, yes. Always. He would strong-arm foes into working with him at all times. Using whatever means necessary. Words, threats, money, death. It didn't matter.

Not the loyalty of friendship, or kindness, but the loyalty that came from true loyalty to the cause. He wouldn't trust with out reason. Sevika was loyal to Zaun, it's why she's his second and even then...

No, he wasn't the one who lashed out. He only orchestrated things to make it right. Vander wasn't a part of that composition. He's a known unknown, one who could snap at any moment.

[ Snapping. Angry. Mean. He doesn't care what he says. Maybe it's a truth out of that string, maybe it's not. He'd already shared others. He knew that it could still be a deception.
And what did it matter, if what he said was the truth.
