[ Hey, he legitimately finds the topic exciting...
Jayce hasn't met anyone that young yet, or if he did he misjudged their age. He takes a bit longer to respond, caught thinking about his own recent history - his mistakes, the lives lost. The ethos he violated to save Viktor. He's not sure he has any right to a moral higher ground anymore. But he still knows this is wrong. ]
I don't have a world, but I know that's semantics.
[It is technically also true, these days, but he also knows most people here haven't dabbled in space travel. Details.]
When an operation I disagreed with threatened my House, I moved the House. Semantically, again; other people did the physical labor. The order was mine, though.
Shutting down a few laboratories and commercial operations wouldn't be difficult. But I wouldn't be willing to pay a living cost, so it'd depend.
He won't respond further after this, spending a fair amount of time wondering if he wants to ask anything else/admit anything else and then giving up. ]

[ Semantics can be important.
There's a long-ish pause, and he shifts the topic slightly: ]
Has anyone ever died on your order?
[ Direct or indirect. Palamedes' previous answer would imply not for the former. ]
no subject
[Anyway, that's a question.]
I've never made a decision that would guarantee anyone's death except my own, if that's what you mean. They're my family, not my fodder.

I guess things are different, when you can pick up and move everyone.
[ Piltover and Zaun would always be entwined. And now there's Noxus, already within their walls. ]

[ Genuine sentiment, if somewhat awkward?
