Despite Cassandra Kiramman's desire for Caitlyn to follow in her footsteps, the negatives of the job haven't been spared her. Caitlyn's heard far too many lectures about reading between the lines, finding out what they don't want to say behind what they're actually saying. Which... she'd actually used in her job as an Enforcer. Which wasn't what her mother had intended, but it worked well enough for Cait.
"Peace with Silco." It's said in a neutral tone. Caitlyn never being one to really jump to conclusions one way or the other without time to consider things. Could it work? Should it? What would peace with Silco really entail? And how would it change things that desperately needed to be changed? She's not sure anything tied to Silco could end well, but maybe that's her own prejudice speaking.
"Independence is a good first step." That, at least, she can agree with. She's just not sure what an independent Undercity would look like under the thumbs of its Chem Barons.
"You're right. There's only so much we can do." More and more it was looking like there would be no easy option, no way to really win at least not any time soon. Not without some radical changes. But honestly? Those changes wouldn't come from people like them. Maybe that was part of the problem. People from Piltover thinking they knew better. Maybe it was best left up to the people who knew. People like Ekko and his crew, like Vi.
Hugs are good. Jayce hugs are especially good. She leans into him, squeezing him close. He's been a rock for her time and again over the years, being one in return? Least she can do.
"You should." She smiles at the thought. "I think if you keep the spectacle low, it'll help." No grand ceremony. No large reception. No real fuss. None of those are things that are really Viktor. "Once he agrees that is."
And he probably would. Eventually. Just maybe not at first. Either way, she'd help out the best way she could when it came time. Plus, it's nice to think about their future instead of worrying about their present. Focus on the possibilities. The things that would happen.
