[ The reverence in his tone is easy to hear, and it makes her all the more sure of her assessment. It’s a place he so clearly loves, and therefore it’s still surprising that he wasn’t willing to fight for it. But… With everything else he’s explained, she does understand. He’s just the kind of person that’s very “se cortaría la mano,” or such is her impression from what little he’s shared so far. ]
Mm, I haven’t been to Kowloon, I’ll admit! But if it’s like your Zaun, I’ll have to take a trip. I’d like to see what it’s like, even just as a comparison.
[ Though even recently arrived as she is, it’s probably still not much of a surprise that she hasn’t been down there. She probably never would have, if not for this conversation. She just really doesn’t have the impression of someone that would fit in down in its dark alleys. Maybe somewhat literally, considering her height, even. ]
Hey, but if you don’t want to waste your effort to bring it back, that’s fine, I think. After all, Zenith might be my enemy, but I want to bring your worlds back too! I’ll fight for your Zaun the same way I’ll be fighting for my Mesoamerica.
[ There’s no trace of smugness or pretension, or anything Silco might have come to expect from declarations similar to this. Though of course, it’s not to say he won’t interpret it that way regardless. Her easily given and earnest sincerity might as well be anathema to him. ]
…Not that you have to believe me, of course! But I hope that when everything’s done, people have a home they can go to. Zaun sounds special, so I hope that’s where you can go.
