[She wasn't wrong about that; Zaunites weren't necessarily known to screw over their own when it came to trade dealings with one another and if they did they usually found themselves at the wrong end of someone's blade if they didn't keep their end of the bargain. Vander had instilled that unspoken rule throughout the Lanes during his tenure and made sure it was adhered to with an iron grip which was commendable. Ekko wasn't exactly expecting Jinx to agree to his terms but was pleasantly surprised, blinking wide a bit in mild disbelief before ushering forth a firm nod of his head in return.]

That's probably the most believable thing you've said in awhile. Save your spit...You got a deal then.

[Teasing her a bit as a flash of an amused grin graces the tip of his lips, cocky attitude shining through as per the norm. The unprovoked information garnered about this 'Council' causes the boy savior's brows to furrow puzzlingly, curiosity getting the best of him now given how much he'd been wondering about just who was to blame for bringing him here in the first place.]

'The Council'...What a coincidence. So they're the ones held responsible for everything that goes on around here?

[Vision narrowing as a look of pure determination washed over his features next. He had some questions for these punks who thought they could just pluck him from their home and bring him here to use as their play things. Ekko didn't have time for their foolish games when shit was hitting the fan between Zaun and Piltover.]

I'd sure like to meet them. Where exactly is this Council holed up, Jinx.
