[He nodded his head to the idea of engineer, finding that kind of ingenuity to be point in the right direction. He could appreciate someone that would take the time with his daughter, even if in his mind that she would figure it out. She was a prodigy, and she had figured out Hextech all on her own.]
Has he shown you some of his inventions and endeavors as well?
[The last thing that he wanted was for her to get hurt again; Ekko wasn't that long ago after all. That this boy was a rebound as far as he was concerned didn't bother him.
He took a long drag from his cigar the skill that he had dreaded hearing. Telepathy. His eyes narrowed for a moment, and he reached out to tap some ash into an ashtray nearby. Smoke trailed from his nostrils and mouth as he spoke.]
I consider that a rather important skill for him to have. Does he ask your permission before listening to your thoughts?
Ah... no. He hasn't shown me any of his stuff yet. ( she admits after drowning most of her drink. ) But I'm sure he will eventually! Materials are still a lil' tough to get around here and all that.
( jinx pokes at her potatoes with her fork, knowing she should really eat or she'll regret it so much later. but this conversation is really twisting into something way more serious than she expected. )
I mean, we kinda got an understanding going. I don't really... mind it so much. I kinda like it. ( his daughter finds herself smiling a little warmly once she confesses, reminiscing their silly telepathic converations. ) — It's better than hearing all the other mambo- jambo going on in my head. It's good that he knows what I'm... thinking when I can't put crap into words.
So, if he hasn't shown you such things, this sounds like a very fresh and new relationship. [And if it was very new, he had to respect Jinx telling him without much delay, and he could see why she thought that he had to sit down to cope with the knowledge that his daughter was growing up and developing.
That was not a life lesson either he nor Vander had actually had to cope with directly. They had both had their lives ended before it could happen. He felt Vander would take it far more gracefully than he ever would; his trusted support network was so limited that the idea of losing it was deeply uncomfortable.
And he'd destroy the boy if Jinx was hurt. That was an unspoken promise.]
An understanding, you say? [A man of red flags sensing so many red flags already in this situation.] So he silences the voices in your head, does he?
( feeling just a tad bit better, jinx spears a piece of fish to shove in her mouth, chewing not so brutish this time. )
He can but... I don't let him do it all the time. Just when they get super loud and I can't handle 'em on my own anymore. 'Cause he's more than just some guy who can do mind heebie-jeebie things to me. S-So....
( should she had said that? it's hard to tell, but maybe it was needed just in case there were any doubts of her being with him simply because he has such an outstanding ability. )
[He watched her eat, nodding his head slightly. He took another drag from his cigar, listening carefully to her choice of words but also her body language from across the table.]
You have never been one to dedicate yourself to someone with only one talent, no. I hope you will be careful.
[And he would also be careful on her behalf, and even if things went the same way as the last boy, he would always be that safe space for her to return to.]
( those words slip out way quicker than she wanted it to. and jinx winces on the inside over it too. but she picks up the sentence again to elaborate further before this heads down south. )
I trust him, so there's nothing to worry about or be careful about.
( with a light shrug of her shoulder, the smile beams back on her face -- only this time showing rather fondness when she goes on a little more about quentin. )
Yeah, he can be a dummy and a lil' full of himself. But... who doesn't like confidence?
[Silco had been burned too many times in the past to trust anyone in a short period of time. He knew that Jinx was a freer soul in a sense, but she had been through a lot like most of those who had grown up in Zaun. She was damaged like the rest of them, but her recklessness had nearly gotten her killed in the past.
That was something he regretted. He had pushed her back then; now it was his turn to be the caution she wouldn't be normally.]
Be careful anyway. For me.
[He leaned back in his chair, setting his cigar into the groove of the astray.]
( the urge to roll her eyes is very strong, but she refrains. it's such a dad thing to do to tell their child to still be careful when there's nothing happening. but all the while, it is a bit endearing that silco cares so much for her. it's something she'll never get tired of despite it being annoying sometimes. )
Okay, fiiiiiine. I'll be careful. For you.
( wow, why was she so nervous telling him about quentin in the first place? this conversation seems to be going better than she expected. ... until he tosses out his usual threat. )
C'mon, Silco. You don't have to do that. ( she reassures him. ) — He's been pretty nice to me and he's a lotta fun. If he hurts me, it won't be serious. Ya know, like, stepping on my hair on accident or drinking outta my glass when he thought it was his. That kinda thing.
( hunching over to shove more food into her mouth, she wings her legs underneath the table rather merrily. )
I still gotta tell Vi about him too. But I so want the both of you to meet him sometime.
[He knew that she wouldn't be careful. She was a teenager - and a smart one at that - and she had found something new and shiny to latch onto. When he was eighteen, he wouldn't have listened to a concerned parental adult in his life either, not when there was something that he wanted and he was all swollen with his own self-importance and sense of immortality.
There was a life lesson in there that could come with a full-on speech, but he'd save that for now. He'd wait until he'd met the boy and made his own shrewd assessment.]
No, I don't have to, but I want to. [He snorted, bemused by her blindness at how the young male mind worked.] You've been dating him how long? I don't think you have a proper assessment of how nice or not nice he is. Believe me, boys need a foot on the back on their neck. [And he fully planned on being that foot.
He grunted at the mention of Vi. He expected a supportive sister jumping all in as well, then Vi would be the first to throw a punch when something went wrong. That was her only tactic, and she wasn't even particularly good at it.]
( her expression sours just a touch and she flashes her father a quick look before turning it back to her meal. she isn't going to shout at him or give him a full attitude, but her tone is rather strong and a little on the defense side. )
Four days and I think I know how to watch out for people.
( jinx should leave it at that, but the need to backtalk is dancing on her tongue and it's almost impossible to swallow down. )
You didn't send me out to do stakeouts on the Topsiders for nothing.
Edited (sorry i had to fix my math and timeline) Date: 2023-11-01 02:56 pm (UTC)
[He watched her, picking up on the change on her expression and the skate of her eyes to him. He had seen her in all manner of teenage righteousness on occasion, and they had had more than a few verbal throw downs as all families did.
Yet, he offered her a little smirk at the corner of his mouth.]
Four days? So very new and shiny. And I have no doubt you can watch out for people; I've sent you on enough recon missions.
[He didn't mind the back talk. Certain people could get away with it under certain conditions.]
Exactly. I taught you to be better prepared to handle rogue elements.
( and she trails off, trying to get him to finish what exactly is his point here. she's been on a lot of missions, she knows how to watch out for people, and she knows what to look out for. so jinx doesn't necessarily understand why this conversation is heading in this direction. it should had been done by now. )
So I suspect you let this one in too close too quickly.
[Being on a mission was different from life, and her usual struggles to make friends didn't seem nearly as apparent here. That was good because he wanted her to be happy, especially how things ended on their world before coming to this place. He only wanted her cautious.]
But he's not hurting me. ... Actually, he's been doing the opposite.
( she straightens herself as she declares this, behaving all high and mighty as she shoves her last potato in her mouth. )
I'm telling you, Silco. Everything is fine. — Okay, yeaaah, we sped through few steps but that's not necessarily a bad thing. We're not getting any younger and we're really getting along great.
( "so there" is at the tip of her tongue but that would sound way too childish. instead, she reaches over for the bottle of wine that's on the table and pours just a small fill in her empty cup. )
[That's all he felt the need to say. He had the benefit of life experience, and his years of dedication to being patient so four days was a drop in the bucket. He was quick to take people into his cause, but that didn't mean he let them in to know who he was.
Not even in his youth did he jump head first into things so quickly. Trusting too quickly could be a knife in the back.]
Very well. You'll use your judgment. Take this where you want, but be careful with him. I don't want to be a grandfather.
[And when it went terribly, he would be in her corner as he always was.]
( it looks like she finally won this battle (for now or did she??) and feeling very victorious, she resumes back to cutting up her fish into pieces. there's still so many left of it on her plate. )
Oh! — You don't ever gotta worry about that. He's got these things called "condoms" and it'll stop that from happening. It's a pretty neat gizmo.
( and with that, she'll stuff her face as if what she just said was something so casual like the weather. )
[She hadn't won; he was simply shifting to pick the new battle. If anything, he would lay in wait to size up this boy and then potentially return to this conversation with her. For now, he'd let her think this was her victory.]
Good to know four days in you are so familiar with each other. Be certain he uses his gizmos effectively.
[He was picking his cigar up again and taking a drag of it. She was definitely all in on the boy; Silco would have to destroy him sooner than later.]
( ... alright. now he's making her feel a little like she is one of madam babette's workers at the brothel. with her cheeks flustering just a bit, she reaches over for that glass of wine she poured herself and quickly sips. maybe it's better to...not comment further on that particular part. because even if she wanted to or did, it wouldn't make it look any more pretty. so her father definitely has her there. )
[He watched her from across the table, even going so far as he shift in his seat so he could cross one leg over the other to look perfectly comfortable with the conversation. After all, as far as he was concerned, this was another life lesson of passing down old knowledge to his daughter. He had been doing it so long that he didn't care if it was unwanted.
Her silence also meant to him that he had triumphed in that part of the debate.]
Anything else you would like to tell me about your boy?
( she finds herself in a corner when he asks this. telling him more information about quentin might appear too gushy (which she is right now, honeymoon phase and all that), but letting silco have the floor to ask more questions will also confirm she knows..... kinda little about quentin -- thus prove further how careless she's being to date a guy without any real details. so the safest thing to do here is to say, "nu-uh" as a hum as she continues to drown herself with glass of wine. ... she might need a second one.
and once that's empty, she shoves just a little more fish her in her mouth to keep herself from saying anything else. why does it feel like she's in the danger zone right now? it's the way he's eyeing her and sitting there, isn't it? jinx rarely views silco as intimidating, but right now? boy, she wishes she could crawl out of her skin and slink away upstairs. )
[He had always done what he could to take Jinx's side without blindly following her actions. He would defend her and smooth wrinkles out where he could, and then he would want Jinx's side of the story because there were two sides to every story. Often in his group, her reactions allowed them to paint her with a harsher brush, and he had little if no time for that.
Her silence was not something unusual when she was uncomfortable, and he simply decided to wait her out. He might be completely disapproving of her new little fling, but he did give credit that she was an adult having to make adult decisions about where her life was going. A part of him he wasn't willing to show was frightened of losing her - his only daughter - but another recognized this was going to happen eventually.
When he was a boy, most parents didn't live long enough to see their children fully grown. The mines were not kind. He wanted a better life for her; he wanted a Zaun where she could thrive and be one of the great inventors there.
He smoked his cigar casually, letting the silence grow as she ate and avoided adding more. His own interest in a meal had waned as soon as the conversation started.]
Then tell me when you're ready. [Or she knew more.]
( tell him when she's ready? .... ready... for what? she isn't sure what he means by that. and jinx highly doubts he wants to know that she is indeed a woman now since her virginity is no longer with her. and she also doubts he wants further details on their "additional spice" to their relationship of quentin officially being her pet.
but is that secondary thing really a surprise though? she refers a lot of nobodies who she feels are beneath her as ants, small fries, or harmless preys she can't be bothered with. so maybe it was only a matter of time until that came into play. after all, ekko use to be her main "play thing" and he still is despite his absence. that's just a permanent title the firelight will always carry until his wings give out or she pecks him so hard with her beak that he finally calls it quits. so jinx will take the safe route here and say simply: )
[He meant that she could tell him as much or as little of the nitty gritty details as she wanted to. He'd probably heard it all anyway, given the where he lived and the types of enterprises that he had his fingers in or his associates did. The Undercity was a mecha of everything that was free and illicit, so anything went as long as one had the strength to back it up when challenged.
He nodded his head, willing to leave the topic at that. She had already given him plenty to think about with this new addition to the dynamic. A telepath was a dangerous entity as far as he was concerned, and he had concerns about that which he would ponder on his own.]
Good. I assume you'll be spending more time away from the house now that you have him sniffing around?
( something about that feels rather insulting somehow. she frowns over to him as she scoots her plate away for now (she'll gets seconds in a minute) then reaching for the bottle of wine again. )
I'm not crazy attached to him, ya know. He has friends, I have friends. I won't combust if we stay a day or two or three apart from each other.
( she isn't sure if silco was hinting his concerns of her being tied to quentin's hip or not, but jinx wants to make it perfectly clear to him that's not going to be the case. she may be highly infatuated, obsessed, and possibly possessive over quentin but she isn't going to tie him down with a ball and chain. he's free to roam around and hang around with whoever he wants (as long as he keeps his hands to himself when it comes to other girls... or guys if he's into guys too). pouring one more round of wine, she sets the bottle back to the table then scoots it over to him. )
Besides I got a lotta work to do and we gotta a city to run.
( again to make it perfectly clear that just because her relationship with her sister is steadily improving, she has a few friends, and now a boyfriend doesn't mean she had forgotten or became distracted to their main goal here. )
[He was unperturbed by her defensiveness. Despite what life lessons he might be providing, he knew what it was like to be giddy with the want to be close to someone. It invaded thoughts, bubbled up emotions, tugged at one's attention. It was uplifting, and it wasn't unusual to chase such sensations.]
And yet, you'll want to spend time with him all the same. It's an expected response; most of us have been there, Jinx. After all, four days is fresh enough to want to assure yourself of solidification of it.
[He puffed on his cigar casually, stockpiling the unease that he felt for the time being. That was his to process on his own, not here during a meal even if it might seem that one or both of them were done with it. He already knew that tonight wouldn't be pleasant, that he would stare out the window and ponder all the threads and complications of this relationship and then... be drawn back into the old ache of the past.
He flicked his eyes to the wine bottle, reaching out to tap ashes into the tray.]
We haven't the resources to run the city. We must move cautiously and slowly. If we grab too many available resources too quickly, there will be those that will be push to act. I don't yet have the same power base as I did back in Zaun. It's all niceties for now.
[Being the friendly helping hand as he slowly extended his reach and make connections. He had time. The sister and the enforcer would complicate things as he couldn't slip behind his old titles.]
