( He does want those things. They've talked about it. Usually in some dingy, dark bar. Reminiscing for their glorious villainhood. )
That's the problem with fathers. They think they know best. Mine did, and I suppose I was the same with my girls. ( He tried to let them choose their own paths, he did not say anything when they mingled further out into the real world, surrounding themselves with the monkeys. He could have tried harder. ) All right, forget the same old. What do you want?
I just — [ jinx gives an irritated huff, pulling away from the dragon. when she's like this, it's best to pull away. best to be by herself. ] — don't want to keep doing the same stuff.
I know I'm a killer, I know — [ and her voice cracks. ] — I can't escape that. I just don't want to be one all the time.
( He watches her, his expression a little complicated. )
Ah, you have a heart.
( He'd expected Silco, but different. This is - well, he's seen this emotional bleeding before. )
I'm probably not the one to help you with this, Jinx-san, I barely remember what it's like to be a person. I've been killing for a cause for as long as I can remember. But I think possibly even that want is enough. It's something to work upon. You're breathing, so that means there's still a chance to be something more. It will be hard, it will probably hurt, but if you don't want to be a killer anymore then you're going to have to carve a new shape out. What else is a place like this for if not forging something new?
[ jinx seems skeptical. unsurprisingly so. it's not like she's asking for help anyway. she has to deal with her own shit. she's on her own. it's a tuesday. ]
The place where we might get stomped on by giant monsters and die?
( It does make him laugh, an unruly snort of sound. ) When you put it like that. But you're not beholden to the things from back home here. Maybe that will help. I'm being civil with people who wanted me dead in my own world, is all I'm saying. We have to change shape. There's no other alternative.
( It is, quite possibly, all the warning she gets. Rainbow dragon shoots off in the next second, a slithering white streak launching itself off of the rooftop. Geto tilts his head back to watch, offering a little wave as they hurtle away, calling cheerfully -. )

Like Silco gives a shit. He just wants to do the same old, same old. Make weapons. Kill people. Glory of Zaun. Yadda yadda.

Orrr we just get stomped on.

( He won't push it. He'll mainly ruminate. Maybe one day in the future he can try and help her out. For now though -. )
Is it time for your joyride, do you think? Can you climb? I'll stay here, so you can enjoy it.

[ she's nimble enough, easily hoisting herself over to the dragon's neck. she's careful of her nails and shoes as well. ]

Anywhere in particular you want to go? Or just very high and very fast?
( From what he's been told and what he's seen he's fairly certain she's a bit of a daredevil. )
no subject
High and fast!
