[This place was falling apart, so Silco didn't once believe that resources of all manner of type would eventually become scarce. There had to be contingencies even if they may not stand up to the changes. Desperation could force people into bargains they may later regret.]

Me? No. I am sufficiently wealthy. No doubt there are plenty of others that could be lured with money.

If it is not money, nor blood, I assume, that you search for, then what makes you want to speak to me about it? What is it exactly you want from me?

(rather than dance around the subject, that is. wealthy, mysterious, what sort of hands does he want in mihai's business, and in exchange, what would he offer? no interest in money for mihai, he can say that very easily. anything needed, he can make, or take.

so, how will it be?)

[So candid! Silco could speak plainly when he felt it was worth his while to do so. He appreciated someone that wanted a straight answer.]

A conversation. I wanted to assess how much a threat you're going to be to me and mine. I have no interest in donating to your cause personally.

[However, there was an opportunity and never let it be said that he wasn't willing to dig himself into everyone one possible either.]

However, my resources in the city are vast, and I could assist you with this little... donation drive that you seem to need.

An occasional threat, I can assure you as much.

(malicious is not the exact word - but curious is. in the span of seconds, he may go from help to hinder, support to hurt, all to satiate that little spot in his brain that still finds some fascination with other beings. to know the time they have is counted, seconds in comparison to mihai's prospective lifespan, that changes things, and often, the fact that mihai cannot experience such existential questions bring the worst out of him.

besides, as is, mihai is a rather difficult person, moved by praise, disgusted by the idea of being told off, vain and fickle. he can't promise to behave.)

I see, but I see little benefit to me so far in this conversation. How would you assist, and why would I allow it?

When it suits you, no doubt.

[There were plenty of long-lived species in Runeterra and all of them took their longevity in different directions and with different traditions. Life experienced played a lot as it did with all of them. He assumed it was the same with this one as well. After all, how was feeding on a sentient species any different than a non-sentient? Ego probably.]

And yet you came, so you must have expected to receive something of value out of it, even if it may be brief entertainment. I could arrange for safe space and to have people brought to you. It may shake suspicion off of you as your tenure extended.

Oho? So you understand.

(hunger. a motivator silco must understand, the basic principle of being alive. demon types such as mihai thirst and urge for flesh - his kind is more animalistic than one would expect in that regard, but in the same vein, aren't humans as well?)

Entertainment fits the bill, but even with your offer, the question remains: what people do you mean to bring me? Local flesh and blood fill a stomach but are empty calories in every way.

Perhaps.

[He didn't commit one way or another on that matter. He didn't believe that he knew this one enough to know more than the basic needs and urges. He had seen some of the best and the worst of people, so he understood trends and human nature.]

That might depend on you. What kind of people do you need and want?

Humans.

(that should explain it more than not. there are little benefits or joy in eating his own kind, and the craving? the craving is for something human, dead, alive, whatever.)

We have a human livestock factory at home, but I don't suppose they have their products lying around in Aldrip.

So generalized. Very well, if it is that simple.

[He was already considering how he could use this broadness to his advantage. There were several Chosen that he would enjoy volunteering to be a meal and hopefully full destruction in the process.]

No, they do not. That must be one heck of a breeding program give the necessary upkeep to make a human large enough to be useful for any kind of meal.

It was. I hear that things from your home appear ever so often, and what would you offer me if they simply do?

(silco, they just come back!!

however, the point stands. what use does silco have for him if he has food, and yet, still enjoys to fuck with people for the thrills?)

That is not an untruth. I don't make offers without equal value in return, so if you are here under the belief that I am going to simply serve your needs, you are mistaken.

[That was bad for business. It seemed to him that he had investigated enough to know that this one was likely a danger to him and his, and there was apparently little that they could exchange to benefit one another.

Perhaps the best he could do was redirect this one at people he didn't particularly like.]

You shouldn't do that for anybody. I'm simply attempting to understand what you're able to offer. You seem sly, so I'm covering all bases.

(says an equally sly man, but silco doesn't have to be certain of that with him saying it. although, it is looking strange at this point, two old men (debatable) just standing in front of a bar.)

Will you not offer me a drink?

Perhaps there will be mutual benefit at some point. I haven't decided if you're someone I'd bet on in a race.

[He was sly, which was good because this one could be if given the right opportunities. He had no doubt there were skills there, but would arrogance be the downfall like it was for so many.

He glanced that the Lupin and the corner of his lip curled slightly.]

Not at that establishment. If you want a drink, I would offer one at the Last Drop.

We'll see. Right now, I'm currently eating cardboard, so hopefully, you can entertain me for some mutual benefit.

(and another hope is that he doesn't offer himself. he doesn't look right. maybe it's the eye. who knows. actually, he probably knows.)

Alright, lead the way. What exactly happened to your eye? You're not quite appetizing.

You aren't a case of only eat what is freely given, are you?

[Oh well, he wasn't offended to not be considered appetizing. That was a common opinion among most in the Undercity and probably everyone here in Aldrip. It appeared that assessment came in handy now.

He gestured and turned away from the street they were on, heading off in the direction of the Last Drop. At this time of night, it would be making the conversion from bar to night club. They'd hear it before every seeing the place.]

That's rather personal, don't you think? Though if you must know, someone tried and failed to murder me. The eye is my life long prize for the attempt.
