He looked between the two of them, his eyes to Jinx, then Kaeya, and then back to Jinx, where they stayed. He should have avoided this landmine, but perhaps he'd hoped that Jinx would have distance from the moment --
She had just arrived, hadn't she? Silco had now almost eight months of distance from what happened on Runeterra, but for her, hadn't he promised her that she could move on from those doubtful thoughts just recently? He'd dipped her under the water just like he'd been -- because it was the only way they could move on.
He touched a finger to the grate, to try to push it back open, but his fingers just rested there, waiting. He could excuse it, that they'd had to hurt each other to get free, and Silco was so good at hurting others, wasn't he? It also wouldn't matter, even in his head, it sounded like an excuse. ]
Jinx -- [ It's a little soft, as if he's trying to impart something unspoken to her, without delving too much. ]
