[her face twitch at his question, and she lowered the fry towards her lips to munch on. it's to buy her time as she contemplates her options. jinx isn't afraid to voice what they are, speaking her mind is something she is good at (sometimes too good) besides her gadgetry. it's more so how will silco take the news that the duo decided to become more than a fling without uttering clarification of words.

with her mouth empty, his daughter rolls her tongue behind her lips, tracing along her teeth like she's ensuring they're all still in place — even her two buck ones. but then the crow blows away her loose bangs from her vision, yet the purple streak still catches her eye. ]


Does it really matter? — If we're this or that, here or there. We're just... two crazy kids doing crazy stuff!

[ there's a tiny sigh that leaves squeaks pass her lips, stretching for her cup again, as jinx feels maybe she should be serious. just this once. ]

I did mention being in love, right? And he's in love, too. That last time I've checked. So, I think... you can put it all together just by that alone.

[ she won't say it in so many words, but that should be enough, she thinks, and she takes another swig from her juice. the juice is almost half-full when his daughter finishes, and she returns it to the table with her gaze on his glass.]

Want a refill?

I know, and I'm being careful, I promise.

[ she smiles fondly over her father's threat. to anyone else, it would be highly concerning and alarming, but she knows he is only saying so because he loves her so much. and while she is fully mindful that silco will definitely do exactly what he says, it's still coming from the heart. ]

But I think you don't have to worry about something bad happening between us. Besides the dumb arguments we might get into. Ekko is a pretty swell, laid back guy. A little like you, ya know? — I mean, he might lose his patience here and there, but... you've gotta reeeaaally be plucking his wings to get him going.

[ she winces at his remark, and gradually slouches in her seat to shrink away. his tone isn't loud or that aggressive, but it holds power as it does, and that alone can be intimating under the right circumstances. jinx isn't fearful, but she evidently said the wrong thing here, and she pitches her gaze down to her plate. ]

I-I mean, you both... calm me. That's what I mean...

[ she mutters, not sure if that will make it any better with clarification, but it couldn't hurt to give it an attempt. ]

Ragna, too.

[ maybe adding ragna to the mix will dilute this conversation, and she holds her tongue with tallying her sister because that definitely won't help. except things are still... complicated with her sibling. ]

And that's good, right?

[' so why are you upset?' — is the question that lingers and threatens to leave her tongue, but shoves it down her throat with the piece of fish. jinx would expect silco would want her to grow up and learn how the world works on her own, yet maybe he believes the simulation world isn't a good example? she can only speculate. ]

Of course, I always will be. [ jinx prods her half-eaten meal to the left of her for now, and bends forward with her arms folded over the counter.] Level with me here, Dad, is that what all of this is really about?

[ there's a brief pause that she purposely let dawdling in their air before stacking on the finishing touches. ]

Are you afraid because I have other people in my life, it means I won't be your daughter anymore?

[ she sits in front of him silently, being extremely attentive and not half-listening for once. her heart sharpens and jitters when it comes to be her hypothesis was proven correct after all. and for a moment, his daughter stays still, not breaking eye contact as the cogs in her mind whirls. but soon, she scoots herself away from the table, then makes her way around so she can stand by his side. her head cocks very subtly to one side, then reaches a gentle hand to rest fondly against his scarred cheek. ]

Nothing can ever pull me apart from you.

[ jinx coos, her thumb brushing and tracing along one of his harden marks. she ponders back to how her days in runeterra had been without him. and maybe if she describes what it was like, he will worry less? it's hard to say, but there's no harm into it saying i. ]

Vi and Ekko... I do love them. They're important to me, like you are. But I'm always going to need you. Just because I know how to... wake up and go through my days okay, doesn't mean I won't miss you at all, or think about you, or... — or I won't need your parental talk in some way.

I wanted you to — [ a brief pause, trying to think of a good phrase. ] "come out" so bad when I was home. I missed hearing you... and seeing you. I kept... wondering if you were proud of me or... whatever I was doing was okay in your eyes. You're my dad, [vander too.] and no one is gonna fill in those shoes.

[ the smile, once warm, and still is, now growing shorter and maybe even a little stiff. and although her expression sinks into something else entirely, she doesn't cease soothing him with caressing his damaged cheek with her thumb. jinx works her lips for a moment before confessing — her voice almost as low as a whisper: ]

I... don't know who I am right now. [ this must be painful for silco to hear, but she has to be truthful to herself and him. ] — I thought I got rid of Powder, but then... I learned through Isha that... that Powder wasn't so bad, after all. So I killed Jinx.

[ a small beat as she sighs, bending forward to plant a kiss to his forehead. ]

But then after a while, I found out... being just Powder didn't feel right, either. Not at all the way. So I dunno. I'm calling myself "Jinx" 'cause that's what I'm used to, and what everyone calls me. But... am I Jinx? Or Powder? ... Maybe. Maybe I'm both.

But... yeah. You came to me when I wanted to waste away forever. [ she huffs out a chuckle while her hand skates off his cheek, then down to his hand. ] I, uh, never did thanked you for stopping by.

[ her breath quietly catches when his fingers squeeze over the prickle of her touch. and she draws back as carefully as possible so he wouldn't take too much of a notice. jinx sucks in her lips to fight off the sudden chill in the air, although, the cold might be just her imagination playing tricks on her again.

words seem to lodge themselves against a lump in her dry throat, and she swallows periodically in hope, by doing so, it'll let them go through. jinx moves her arms again, her limbs feeling heavier than stone suddenly, but she forces them to cooperate as she links them around her father — into an embrace that's light at first, but gradually grows in strength. ]


Love me. Love me always, okay? No matter what happens to me... — I don't wanna lose my Dad again.
