You were just trying to get some goodies from Piltover to sell. You need the money. How was it that a Piltie manage to catch sight of you and report you to the Enforcers? The moment you were tossed into the middle of the council tables, you felt small.

Usually they would just send you off to Stillwater already but you had an explanation. It was for your siblings. They’ve been sick and hungry and you are the only source for them.

The councilors disagreed, feeling no sympathy for you before one. Mel. The moment she saw your eyes when Councilor Salo decided to send you off to Stillwater, she was reminded of a girl she couldn’t save. Maybe she could save you.

The moment she announced her decision and made her clear explanation, Councilor Heimerdinger, Kiramman, and lastly Hoskel agreed upon her words but Mel was in charge of you and your decisions. The moment the meeting was over, you stood awkwardly as she walked towards you. “Why?” you ask her, trying to sound tough.

Mel hums gently, walking up to you. “You have something some Zaunites I’ve seen lack,” she says, looking at you. Mel pauses, trying to find the right word. “Honesty.”
