[There was no any further attempt to pull away or create distance between them on Richard's part. He stayed seated and allowed the touch on his neck, inhaling deep through his nose he closed his eyes for a brief moment and granted himself a brief moment of indulgence.
He hadn't seen Jinx since her return, but he had eyed the post she had made on the network upon her arrival. It had been confusing and mindless, but that was the the norm for Jinx as far as Richard was concerned. So, to his eyes there hadn't been any major differences in the girl's behavior, so he remained oblivious to her changed stance when it came to their relationship. Richard was partly waiting for the other shoe to drop and her to start her usual harassment campaign against him. But if she truly had 'outgrown' her father's cause... then that would no doubt cause a ripple between the father and daughter duo. All the more reason for Silco to stay with her. The man would need to ensure that his empire would not perish and turn into dirt.
And yet he was here with him, just like the man had said. Whitey might have led him here but he had followed the boar out of his free will, choosing to engage in conversation with him despite the distraught daughter waiting at home. His chest tightens in his chest under the ice.

What Richard wanted was clear. It always was.]
