Jayce may carry the common Piltovan affliction of a deficiency in common sense, but he is...hm, better than most. Good enough that he fails to see what others tend to focus upon in my appearance. If I thought putting myself alongside him in the spotlight would do any good, he would no doubt happily drag me along to every miserable investors' meeting and party across Piltover. Perhaps eventually I will entertain the thought, but certainly not the way things are now.

[Shrugging, he set down the fork and immediately picked up a pencil, hand moving in rapid and barely decipherable words across a nearby notebook.]

...This might actually be plausible. A promising concept.
