[this answers a few questions he hadn't even asked, a little hint of the state of pal's world. houses, that's a loaded term for him, given his own world has a class divide that crossed the line to criminal a great many years ago, in viktor's humble opinion. houses built off magic seem like an especially volatile way, just seeing what the houses of piltover manage with money and apathy alone is horrific.
the way he talks about this cavalier system his him hiding a smile as he sips his tea. it reminds him a little of jayce, who had a similar rant when it came to people looking over viktor's contributions in their work because viktor was born in the undercity. it certainly improves viktor's general of opinion of palamedes further. always a good sign when people respected their partners, in his humble opinion.]
The Sixth being your house? [a shame she wasn't here, she sounds like exactly the sort of ally pal would need in a place like this.] It sounds a clever system when treated with respect, though I imagine that does not always happen.
[he considers offering his condolences that she left but it simply isn't a helpful thing to say, one that went without saying really. instead he warms his fingers for a few moments on his cup and considers what it would be like to be a living battery.
unpleasant, is his first thought. efficient, is his second.] To tie a child to a shortened, pained life for the sake of prestige and power is barbaric- and exactly the sort of move I would imagine an old family of power would do. I suppose some things do not change between worlds.
Gauche is a word, though if it is in aid of saving my life or others that's a different matter. [one he'll let rest for now to ask,] Allow me one more question before allowing you a break in all these- if that is how this 'Seventh' approach necromancy than how does your 'Sixth' do so?
