[ she murmurs sweetly as she shifts carefully to plant a tiny kiss underneath his chin. and as much as jinx wishes to protest in movement, his daughter finally shimmies off his lap, but not without doing it in such a sluggish fashion. and when she is on her feet, she presses her index and middle to her temple to ease an ache. ]
[He didn't move under her brief kiss, sighing from his nose now that the storm had seemingly passed for the most part. He moved his arms to provide a small assist for her to slip from his lap, stretching his legs out before setting the back on the floor so he could push himself to stand up.]
[ she'll argue that, but when she brings the pie over later, it will finally settle this little argument once and for all. although to his question, his daughter puckers her lips together to briefly think, then finally asks: ]
Do we have any painkillers? ... Besides just Shimmer. Not in the mood to huff, and I don't think it'll help my headache.
[Do they have painkillers? What kind of drug crime lord would he be if he didn't have drugs? It was almost an insult that she would have to ask in the first place. He huffed noisily, shaking his head as he rose from his seat and went into the kitchen with their plates.
He came back with a bottle of pills and tossed them at Jinx on the couch.]
Take one and if the headache doesn't resolve in thirty minutes, take a second.
[ look, maybe he swallowed them all or handed them all out to people while she was out being her jinxie self! she's not always on top of her father, which is weird wording, but the player is still trying to wake up and is meta narratoring because she feels like it. anyhow, writing for reals.
there's a small grin on her face as silco disappears with the dishware, and then goes off to seek for medication. it's fun to see her father get all touchy sometimes when their topics aren't so serious, and feelings get bruised. so when she is on the couch, and he returns to her, she catches the bottle with that mischievous smirk still plastered wildly on her, knowing one-hundred percent she just poked him in a not so funny bone with her request. ]
Thaaanks, Daaaaadd ♪. You're the best and I love you.
[Silco tried to look annoyed about the whole topic, but it was for Jinx so he was willing to let it slide regarding his reputation. Besides, she needed those it seemed. Yet another contentious conversation to set the day, and he expected far more on the horizon.
He made a 'hmmm' noise at her calling him 'dad', shaking his head a little as he moved off to gather his papers and notebooks for the day and put them in a bag which he often took to and from work.]
Yes, yes, I know you do. I need to tie up a few loose ends this morning, but I'll come home shortly after noon.
[Silco stared at Jinx on the couch, expression closing at the demand. This was not the first time that she had pushed and shoved and threatened if he didn't say those three little words. He liked to think he showed those emotions in other ways without having to verbalize them so directly. It was... a lot to admit when it shouldn't be given they were just words.]
I see. Considering I don't have toys, that will be a tall ask.
[He made a mental note to put away his bag of accounting books just in case. He finished packing, taking a few extra unnecessary items in case those would also be on her hit list.]
Do you need me to drop by the café on my way home?
... I would like that. You know, just in case I can't get in touch with anyone to check for me.
[ she smiles warmly to him as she really settles in by fluffing the pillow the way she wants it behind her head. hopefully though, she can reach vash or some other stooge to fetch them some pizza so neither of them need to go and do any extra work. ]
[He could do that much, though overfeed and probably overwater were keys here. It was better than starvation, he supposed. He nodded his head as he closed his pack, picking it up as he observed her from the couch. He lingered watching her for longer than usual, contemplating this sensation of distortion in their relationship; it felt a little similar to when the sister came back but more... from one direction.
Maybe that's why he still felt he had a bit of control. That's what was important; he could hold them together if he had to. He was brought back to the question that made him understand Vander so much more: was there anything so undoing as a daughter?
Shaking his head slightly, he pulled himself out of his reserved contemplation and headed for the door.]
[ her father does show his love in actions, yes, and she notices them when he does. it's just sometimes, she would like to hear it too. especially when her voices enjoy tormenting her that the actions of an individual have some sort of twisted, selfish meaning behind them. jinx does her hardest to ignore them, but she trips over their traps now and then — primarily when she has them to thank for snapping her out of that other alternate life they all once lived in. ]
