hmmmmm...nope, sorry. jinx disagrees!

( oh. that's... new, isn't it? )

Enlighten me.

because giving people what they need is a freaking joke. its a low scored booby trap of u THINKING ure doing them a favor or trying to lend them a hand OR an ear, and what do they do? they scream at u like URE the one who broke their heart or whatever. its not my fault they slept with a hussy and theyre so gullible that they couldnt pick up the OBVIOUS signs! and now theyre trying to make ME feel guilty because i threated them to never do that to me again. why SHOULD i feel guilty anyway? who in the heck enjoys being yelled at when they took the time out of their day to fucking listen?! so screw giving people what they need. its not worth it.

[Now this was a tangent. He was, of course, used to them by now, and he even sat back in his chair so he could reread the text and consider the information that she was providing.]

Did the boy say something stupid to you, Jinx?

what? no! no no this isnt about quen.

Then who?

its just. someone. it doesnt matter because we're probably not friends anymore. its dumb.

Jinx

Who?

[Look, he's going to be involved in all your drama, even peripherally.]

i already told u. it doesnt matter anymore. its been dealt with.

besides i KNOW u. if i tell u who it is, u'll hunt him down and give him a lecture. and NOT the kind of lecture the profs give in the academies. hes a VERY sensitive little puppy. he doesnt need to be kicked.

His sensitivities are all the more reason to tell me. I can make a man out of him with a single lecture. Of course, that description narrows down the options. Shall I go knocking on doors?

dont u dare!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Is this sunglasses boy? He seems to have plenty of soft spots.

( shit. )

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.
