Perfect place for an ambush... and you without your hammer.
... I was reminded recently, of what brought us together in the first place. The threats beyond our walls.
This city has a short memory.
Progress.
[shrugs] Far be it for me, to stand in the way. [withdraws a list and plants it on Jace's chest, smirking]
[reads, incredulous] Free trade routes... Blanket amnesty?! Unrestricted access to the Hexgates, sovereignty?! You really think you're in a position to demand all this?!
I give you credit for your stunt, boy. Didn't think you had the stomach. But the big display, followed by a request for parley... You're tipping your hand. You're afraid.
[looks away] I am afraid. Today, I got a glimpse of what war between us might look like. Your people wouldn't stand a chance. Council couldn't care less. I'm trying to save you, from annihilation.
[smiles, shakes his head] ...Well, well. Not the fresh-faced Academy pledge, are you? [sharply] You want peace, this is the price.
You'll discontinue the production of Shimmer?
Half-there already.
Return the Gemstone? [Silco nods]... And I need Jinx. [Silco's face darkens] She has to pay for what she's done.
They weren't her crimes. She was working for me.
Believe me, if I had it my way, it'd be you rotting in Stillwater. But we can't make a deal with a snake, and cut off it's head. We both have our shitty parts to play. [slaps the list against Silco's chest] Get me Jinx, and I'll give you your Nation of Zaun.
