[ Silco had just been about to explain that "Almost" was relative, and there was still a bit to go, when she asked a very interesting question.
Silco, of course, was going to be silent during this part of the conversation. It's difficult to describe, the moment that he and Kaeya had found something in common, and it certainly wasn't the sort of thing that he could say. It was Kaeya's secret to share, that he'd been betrayed. The drowning, though, well -- he hoped Jinx would not take it personally.
He went first this time, through the grate, taking the lead, although he didn't move ahead like Jinx had, taking his time through a smaller tunnel -- one where he had to duck his head slightly every now and then, although it wasn't too tight. Not like the kinds of pipes that they used to crawl through to move around the fissures.
He wondered if Kaeya would share, the thing that tied all three of them together. The ever-present reminder that for each of them -- they had been cast away, for who they were. For being Too Driven, or Too Willing to Help, or for being honest with a goal. Silco might be the only one who can see the connection, that bound all three of them together, but he did see it. That each of them had been betrayed by someone important to them, and it's what had brought he and Jinx together, and then he and Kaeya.
He did not, however, say anything, and continued on. Willing to wait to see how Jinx felt about that first. ]
