[ By now, it's all healed up, but there's still blood. He hasn't had the chance to clean it off, but at least it looks like he's been patched up, and there are no more wounds. ]
Jinx.
[ There was a moment then, when that shot had rung out, where he'd realized that someone had almost — yet again tried to separate them. Was there any end to it? He closed an eye as he reached out, and put his hand on her head, gentler than he is with anybody else. ]

Would it surprise you to know that I didn't pick the fight this time?

Nothing.

Oh yes, quite so.
[ But not them. They're normal. ]
I'm sure he will regret it. Let's hope he put that in his memories as something to remember for the day, hm? Otherwise... he won't even know that it's coming. Or what it's for.

Be careful. He is chosen by Tezcatlipoca for a reason. I do not doubt that he will be ruthless, even if he doesn't look it.
no subject
I can handle it.
no subject
You can handle anything, Jinx. I don't doubt that.
[ but he can't afford... to possibly lose her too ]

He wants to see daybit suffer himself — he wants to do it — selfishly.
But he'd told her he would let her. He's never been able to say no to Jinx.]
Alright.
Watch out for the implants. They will stop you if you try to kill him.
[ Intentionally. ]

Oh?
What are you thinking? Something more... elaborate?
[ he's SO PROUD ]
no subject
Slow cook it.
no subject
[ HE'S SO PROUD!!!!! ]
He's not likely to give something up willingly.
no subject
There are plenty of ways to get things out of people.

[ She really is his kid. ]
I'll leave it to you, Jinx. I know you will do it right.

Jinx.

See? All whole.

. . . I guess.
[ it's a laconic answer. they both know how close it can be. how luck can deal its hands. ]

How'd it happen anyway? Mr. Void doesn't seem to have . . . feelings.
no subject
I thought so as well. I think he was trying to prove a point to me.
[ That's what he assumed anyway. ]
He managed to confront me while I was dealing with the end of the auction. Once I decided he was human... [ A gesture with his free hand. ]
He decided to shoot me anyway.
He likely thought it was how I would respect him.
[ fat chance of that now ]

He doesn't . . . think like a normal guy. I don't think the usual stuff's gonna cut it.
no subject
But isn't that what you're best at, Jinx? Thinking outside of the box? I can't imagine he could expect you.
