[Silco rarely worried when Jinx slipped off for days on end. From experience, she was usually enraptured in some project and moving around the Lanes, but he always had a method to call on her when he needed her for a mission. That was back in the Undercity. He didn't actually trust this place to not create the kind of situation that could steal his daughter away for days on end. The weather, the creatures that lurked closer to town, the black corruption that he had heard and seen on animals and people alike. There were causes for concern, even if he kept it largely to himself in her absence.
The blizzard was not providing any assurances. It was deepening, and they hadn't invested that much in winter clothing aside from jackets. He knew she was out there sowing chaos and expressing herself. So there was always a light left on no matter what time of day or night, even if he wasn't a home such as during the day hours.
Silco was working late when he heard the front door from his study. He remained completely still and silence as he listened to determine if it was an intruder or Jinx finally come home. The noises became familiar enough to identify Jinx, and the knot of concern in his chest eased as he set aside his paperwork and pen so that he could rise to his feet and walk to the door to his study.
He opened it and peered out towards the kitchen where he spotted Jinx digging around. She appeared well from the distance that he was at. He took a moment to pull his cigar case from his vest pocket and fish one partially smoked one out so he could light it.]
There are left overs at the bottom shelf of the cooler.
