[ He mentions Squeakers and gets a bright smile in response; yeah, exploding rats are always a good time. Man. Haha.
But sadly for Kaeya, Jinx is not the bubbling fount of empathy she could be; while she is happy to play off her irritation (who is she irritated at anymore?? mysteries the world may never answer) and sink into familiarity, it doesn't really help him with the situation he's found himself in. That's to say... she isn't making it easier for him.
She leans a bit further over the railing, which creaks ominously under pressure. It's fine; her gaze fixes on Kaeya pointedly. ]
So? Where you going?
[ Is she poking to see if he'll go his own way or stick with Silco? Maybe. ]
[ Kaeya can tell she's trying to figure out what he's planning to do next, but it's fine. It shouldn't be that surprising where he'd like to go or what he'd like to check out. ]
Me? I'd like to see what the bars around here have to offer. It wouldn't hurt to meet new drinking buddies while I'm at it.
[ If that happens to fall under establishments of ill repute, then he supposes he'll be sticking around Silco for a little while longer. If not, then he can always explain that they can cover more ground this way. Maybe he'll end up meeting a different power player, who knows. It's a win-win in his opinion.
(If it's the latter, at least it'll give him some time away from the two to figure out his next steps. On his own.) ]
Hm. [ Silco commented, but he's not really certain what the places of ill-repute are yet. Hard to do that, until they start digging into all of the locations, and figuring out what and where things are. Silco has plans, but to do that... One has to...
You know, actually get elbows-deep digging through the refuse of the place. Bars, of course, were one of the types of places one could get information, but Silco felt they were safer. He wanted the darker corners, and all of the places where the truly bedraggled and disenfranchised lurked.
Because that's where the anger and the monsters lie, after all. ]
Not a bad way to start, I suppose. If this place has any bars of note, they'll likely be popular information-gathering spots. Personally, I want to find something a little less... popular than a bar.
