[Jinx not coming home for a few days was not unusual in Zaun, and there was plenty of trouble in the way of gambling, parties and games that one could be lost in. After her run in with Jerry and the Council, he expected that she would need an escapism in order to reorient herself and focus again. She was now eighteen, so by all standards, she was an adult capable of making all the decisions that came with that role.
If anything, her absence motivated him to slide back into the comfort of working long hours. He was making connections with some of the locals and setting up the businesses that had been abandoned to continue operation smoothly. If he wasn't working on one of the three locations, he was bringing his work home in order to continue there in the comfort of the house. All reminders of the assault by Jerry was long gone, cleaned and repaired. The place was neat and tidy as he always liked it, and as was never truly able to remain that way with a teenager.
He walked in the door with books stuffed with paper under his arm before stopping at the usual presence of Jinx in the place. A quick glance up as he passed through the house to the rafters allowed him to identify her, and he set his books down on the table.]
