why in the hell would i say yes or no to anything if youre just going to start throwing names around!?!?!

Because the alternative is door knocking.

leave. this. alone. silco. i MEAN it. its OVER WITH. if i find out u've been going around and digging, im not coming home anymore.

( writing that and sending it off to him was... really painful for her to write. because she doesn't want them to fight over something so stupid and they stop living or being together. but what other choice does she have at this point to get him to stand down just this once? )

Is that so?

[He'd trying to decide if she's bluffing or not. There is the boy now, so she has other options. Alienating his daughter, the only one he can trust, was not worth risking it one way or another.]

Very well. The door remains open if you wish to discuss it.

( there's an enormous weight that was lifted the moment she read those words. and she sighs the most biggest relief she could ever mustard out of herself. )

thank you.

( ... )

sometimes. i just want u to listen and not... actually DO something about it. u know? i want to feel i can tell u things without i dont know... stuff getting bigger than it is.

I do listen. You simply have to choose to tell me.

[He wasn't always there to solve Jinx's problems. That wasn't his place; that wasn't how the people of Zaun operated. Children needed to stand on their own two feet quickly after all.

And yes, he was protective of her. Since the gemstone came into their lives, she had been hurt and nearly killed on several confrontations. He was allowed to be protective; she was his only daughter.]

If you wish space though, you know you can have it without question from me.

well right now i dont want space. right now i just want to be in the same room with u. i dont like it when we fight, i hate fighting with u.

( even though the "fight" wasn't necessarily that bad from an outer prospective. but given how she was upset at him, vi, and caitlyn at her dinner party, and then in the blink of an eye -- he was gone, the last jinx ever wants is to be angry at him. or their argument/disagreement be the last thing they say to each other. she doesn't want to be eaten up alive like that again, her heart won't be able to bear it for the second time. )

I don't consider this a fight. It was a disagreement of one another's desires.

[They had had disagreements in the past. That was fine. He currently wasn't considering the extent of her guilt over his death.]

i dont care. i still dont like it.

I understand. We'll keep better open communication then.

are u mad at me?

No, not at all. And even in those rare situations where you stoke my anger, you've a knack for defusing it.

its not that hard to, ha ha.

For you, perhaps.

im on my way home by the way. just finishing up some shopping. and also. did u had a talk with someone recently? at all?

I've had conversations with many people. You'll have to be more specific.

with quentin. did that happen? i saw he made a thing earlier this month. so.

Yes, he's quite the little showman making such a public spectacle.

yeah ha ha. he is a lil like me if u think about it! ticking to his own bomb. so... how did that go?

( can't be THAT bad if the two of them are still alive. )

There are a few similar traits. I can see why you enjoy his company; he must be exciting to deal with. Would you like my honest opinion or would you prefer it sugar coated?

[That question should be telling enough how that conversation had gone down.]

( her heart skips and shutters. with a question like that, it's obvious the opinion is definitely not a five star rating. and although jinx expected it, it can't be any worse than him disliking vi, right? if she can handle the two of them going at each other's throats, what's another one? swallowing down a lump in her throat, she writes: )

u know i prefer truth than anything.

[Well, they had always valued honesty with each other. They had made that promise a long time ago, even if things had to be obfuscated now and again with a follow up explanation.]

If anyone back home spoke to me as he did, there wouldn't be enough of a body to identify. For someone who claimed to be so smart, he acts like a reckless idiot.

yeaaaah he can be a bit of an idiot. but hes a loveable idiot. i know u and vi dont really see it but he treats me nice. thats what matters right?

You're right, I fail to see evidence to justify your affection for him thus far. However, who you find yourself affectionate to is your decision, not mine. If he crosses you, I'll find ways to destroy him utterly.

u dont have to worry about that! ill kill him before anyone else gets their hands on him. first dibs and all that.
