[Silco paused where he was wiping out the pan on the small stove that was part of their place, turning his head to regard Jinx. He was quiet for a long moment, forcing himself to see the situation from her description. There was a calmness to this house that he doubted would last if Jinx wanted to work on a project, but for now, it was homely enough.
He turned his gaze back to the frying pan on the stovetop and ran his finger tips over the handle lightly. Zaun had plenty of broken families that never had this; he himself hadn't particularly prioritized its value before Jinx either. Oh, he'd had the small communal moments when his brothers, but the Undercity made it difficult to enjoy the quiet moments.]
Is that how your family operated in the slums when you were very small?
[He knew Vander had taken in children, but it had never been particularly important to know their ages. Those kids were a way to get to Vander eventually, a way to track how the Lanes were stagnating under his old brother's rule. Maybe Vander had been able to provide the family dynamic much of his crew lacked. Sitting around a table eating and drinking tended to be loud, rowdy and communal, but even then, Silco often kept to the periphery of such times.]
I've been informed that's generally how Piltover families operate. They are suffocatingly protective of their young and have the means to provide a education that includes time and opportunity for consistent family meals.
