231 Silco's Lesson

"The first thing you need to learn, princess, is that you are always paying for what you buy, not what they are selling." Silco holds out a hand, leading Scar to the chair in front of the window, sitting her down like the queen he wants her to be as he nods at the stage, "Is a

stone embedded on a piece of metal worth 3 million?"

Scar looks up at him, blinking in confusion: "...no?"

Silco smiles, not denying nor approving: "To a family who struggles to stay above water, definitely not. They wouldn't even blink before they choose the money over that little ring, but, for people with emotional attachment to the ring with money to spare, say...Ava Fuller?" "Then she's paying for the ring from her love one, instead of a stone on a piece of metal," Scar nods, understanding Silco's logic as she follows his lead.

Silco gives her an encouraging smile and a gentle pat on her head: "That's my girl."

It's really stupid, but his praise spreads a warm wave through her. It's how she felt -- wanted to feel when she brought Anna her straight As from school. But every time Ava would cry and make a fuss about it when she did so, saying she was just bragging because Ava couldn't get as good grades, so later Scar just hid her everything from them when all she wanted was an approving smile, to hear a simple "that's my girl".

"I wouldn't be revenging something that happened twenty years ago if I'm trying to save money," Silco stands up straight, seeing Scar brightening up a bit, "I'm not buying a ring or a necklace, I'm paying for their pain, and you are here to land the punches. Deal, my princess?"
