[Silco made a low hum from his nose that state that he didn’t entirely believe her declaration. It seemed to him that progress with mechanics and inventions required something to break, explode or fall apart at least once. It wasn’t as if this place had a good supply of discarded junk either after all, so she was likely having to put her items together with subpar items.]
And what do you consider ‘lately’, hmm?
[He inclined his head slightly at her, watching from the corner of his eyes as she deflected him. He was a naturally patient man as he had to be in order to survive as long as he had. However, he was also an aggressive opportunist as well, and sometimes those two personality traits came into conflict with one another.
However, he also knew that pressuring her now wouldn’t be worth the effort. She wanted him to wait, and there didn’t seem to be harm in that. After all, her tone and evasiveness made it clear that it was some kind of announcement. Cooking left him with plenty of time to consider what it was that would require him sitting, and there were honestly a small handful of subjects that would fall into that category.]
So sitting and slicing rather than standing a slicing. Very well. I will wait.
[He set down the last potato and moved to the small stovetop to light the burner and set a pan on top so that he could sear the catch of the day – a yellow-skinned fish. He added some spices to the top of the fillet and set it down in some hot oil. He had no issue with raw, but he was also far more interested to see if Jinx would hold her silence on the announcement for the entirety of cooking.]
