[It seems like this Council is somehow worse than the one he's accustomed to back home in Piltover. Although they viewed themselves as the rightful authority in the city-state they would not stoop so low as to force its citizens to punishments they did not commit unless they were somehow being bribed by Silco which honestly wouldn't surprise him one bit. The Enforcers were in his back pocket so why couldn't they be as well?

Ekko rolls his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest unenthusiastically letting out a scoff as he tilts his head to one side.]

So what you're telling me is they expect us to play by the rules but don't themselves. Sounds about right.

[Shaking his head as the attention shifts back to the chocobo at his side for a moment, scratching under its chin as it mewls out whimsically. A solemn sigh escapes him, patting the giant bird on the side of its torso.]

It's time for me to get going buddy but I'll come visit again soon, alright?

[It seems reluctant to leave his side at first as Ekko gives his newfound companion one last petting before he crosses the threshold of the fence, hopping over with ease to stand at Ange's side now shoving both hands deep into his jacket.]

Guess I'll just have to work extra hard to keep my nose clean and if I do end up getting my hands dirty just not get caught, huh?
