[Silco hadn't been working in the Doctor for years on end without knowing what Shimmer did to a person and the weening process. After all, it was bad for business to kill off those who were providing him the funding to rise to the top and drag the other Chem-Barons with him. Addiction was powerful, and even when weaned off, he knew that the hunger would gnaw at a person the rest of their life normally. The alternative was losing Jinx, and he couldn't face that.
As she relaxed into the couch, he returned to set a hand to the back of her head lightly. It was best she ride the sensation of normalcy on her own.]
When you feel up to it, go and have a bath. I'll prepare a meal for us.
[With that, he left to head to their small kitchen to put together a meal. Practice made perfect with that.]
( this time she doesn't answer, but she soaks in his gentle touch of her head even if it's brief. the sweet ambience of her father moving onto their kitchen, opening and close cabinets, and the clanking of silverware or tools to prep to cook is simply to die for. it's an odd and a rare satisfaction to her really. jinx's love of chaos and mayhem will always be the number one thing, but... sometimes. sometimes something lulled like this can be smoothing for her. it's definitely something she can live with long term, but every once in awhile it isn't so bad.
two minutes passes or so, and jinx finally yanks herself off the couch in a lazy fashion. the girl still says nothing, although makes her way to their bathroom -- arms moving in a see saw notion in a listless manner then disappears inside. )
