( she plops her head down on the table, more so her chin, to be exact. and even with her head low like this, jinx still spears her potatoes then shoving it in her mouth. a very weird way to eat but she is a strange one. )
— I think I've already spilled the milk about my rep here. People got it figured out.
[He made an effort to at least push the food around on his plate, considering her. She was still right side up, so he didn't blink an eye at her method of eating.]
That means you simply need to use the unpredictability of your antics as part of your reputation to keep people from guessing what your next move will be.
Liiiiiike booby trap the perimeter of our beloved home and listen to the screams of others as I drift off the sleep?
( that... would definitely be unpredictable and a little deranged. but will this be something jinx will actually do to their home? very possible. the girl does enjoy the misery of others. )
No, that is actually quite predictable given your reliance on explosives. Now if you created a perimeter around your sister's house as a 'protective' measure, that might throw a few people. What else could you do with explosives, hmm?
[Resource guarding was very typical in Zaun, so her reaction wasn't unexpected. He wanted her to be creative about providing her services to others in order to garner their loyalty. She would need them when he was dead and gone (again).]
It's predictable to you but not everyone here! There's a lotta folks in this town who don't know a damn thing about me or what I can do.
( although...)
— Setting some traps to my sister's place is a good twist though. Maybe I can hang the enforcer so high up no one will even think to search for her up there. She'll rot as the sun melts her skin away.
Jinx, you blew up a building in public because you were upset.
[He would just like to point out her public antics which would likely give most people an idea of what she was capable of and how she might react in certain situations.]
A better use of your time would be finding ways to use the enforcer to advance your own cause while guaranteeing her destruction at the same time.
( she gloats and giggles sugar-coatedly while scooping her final bite to her mouth. jinx figures enough is enough for now, and the rest could be her midnight snack for when she sinks her teeth deep into her projects later. )
Sounds like a lotta brain work, Pops. And it'll lose my improvise charm.
[He wasn't about to press the matter. They both knew it was her, and there were others out and about that would as well. It was enough as far as he was concerned.]
Then it's a good thing that you're so smart. I expect you can do both.
