Let me handle these initial stages. I want you safe in the clinic. I will call on you soon, I promise.
I understand. The monsters out there don't concern me. I'll bring them in line the same as everyone else.

I don't care to reason with them. I intend to send them on their way if I can't control them.
I promised I would not succumb to death, my daughter. I will keep that promise.

Very well. I will stop by with something for us to eat before I must be away for a time. Keep those in the infirmary safe; we never know when they will be useful.
Did you cut it off to your knees as you requested?

[Normally, he would probably make a massive deal of the fact that she cut her hair off. He had always encouraged its growth for the years they associated with each other. He should be upset, yet he was not.]
Cut it all off? Jinx, that will require fixing. Did you use a knife or scissors?

Did you hurt yourself in that fugue state?
Do you wish for me to be angry?

It provided you a unique look which I encouraged. You will never be a burden to me.
Never better, my daughter. Invigorated even.
When do I ever behave the way that people want me to? And you shall join me in due time.
Perhaps. You will rest and keep the infirmary safe as it is useful. I will call on you soon.
[ You know what? Consequences suck. Yes, it was his own actions that caused all the crap last month, including his own death, but while he was all gung-ho about accepting it and taking responsibility at the time, now that he's back to life he realizes that having to face the people who'd been affected by his actions is way worse than dying. In a sense, staying dead would've been an easy way out... so of course he couldn't count on it. He's already contacted Jinx, and that went... better than expected, all things considered? Though he's still wrecked with guilt for putting her through all that. Next up is her old man, and he's not looking forward to this one.
It feels like he's been standing in front of Silco's office at the Last Drop for hours, contemplating giving up and running away. The only thing keeping him away from doing that is his pride, though it also makes him want to avoid confrontation, leaving him at an impasse.
Well, no time like the present. Might as well rip off the bandaid and get this over with. Ragna finally knocks on the door, letting out a resigned sigh as he does. ]
Hey. ... It's me.
[ This might be the first time in his life he's actually waiting to be allowed in instead of bursting into the room. He almost winces at how meek he's acting; he's got no regrets, so why does it feel like he's guilty and about to be sentenced? It's probably too late to leave now... ]

[He was not expecting a visitation from Ragna any time soon, suspecting that the man would shuffle off to ooze guilt all over his daughter. He was fine with that, as there was a significant amount of work to do in a seemingly short amount of time, and he had already determined that he could trust Jinx entirely to Ragna. After all, the boy wasn't stupid enough to run out on her a second time; that would earn instant and permanent disownment on his part.
He was leaning over his desk, studying a map of Aldrip and a crude one of Rumpitur next to it. There were pins in the map of his businesses but others in areas of the city that he did not own but he considered as having strategic value. He did not look up from his work at the knock on the door, expecting it to be a staff member checking in on some order he had sent down earlier.
It wasn't until he recognized Ragna's voice that he lifted his head and stared at the door. He huffed and picked up his cigar to take a drag from.]
Don't just stand there with your tail between your legs, boy. Either come in or go back to Jinx.
[Silco had always been fueled by a willingness to nudge for progress, and now more than ever, it was in hyperdrive. He was considering how he could use Ragna for that end as well, assuming the man was in any condition to be useful. Both of his eyes were blue, the left glowing like the stone that Jinx so often tossed around, and he had a distinct healthiness to him.]

I assume this was a public display?
No worries, Jinx. I will take care of it.
