Jinx.

[ He greets. He is pointedly not here for the... greasy offerings at the little diner. Of course, he doesn't eat much in Etraya as it is, but mostly sticks to the easiest packaged offerings, like the nutrient bars, or what he can scrounge together himself. So no, he wasn't here to eat, which is why Jinx is so surprised, then again, Silco is surprised too, to see her through the window. He'd thought to remind her of the dangers of eating their food when β€”

Okay, now on the one hand. Silco doesn't really care what Jinx gets up to with people her age. In fact, she's always been alone, and that's suited them just fine. She knew there was... well. A thing? With the Firelights boy? Had been a crush, or something, but that had long been excised. Doubly so when she'd been nearly killed by him.

So he doesn't really think anything of her hanging out with the kid. For the most part. At least like that.

But also, she's around someone her age. Which feels... Wrong. Bad. Is she leaving? Is she drifting away? Vander had already planted that seed of doubt. He'd said it in one of their... altercations. 'She's outgrown you' he'd used it as ammunition, and he'd brushed it off as all it was. An attempt to wound. That seed of doubt though, it receives water and sunlight, able to grow, by seeing something like this. The skin around his good eye twitched, and his thin lips did the same. He's already eerie enough, with that burning, pitch colored eye staring down at the kid.

He sniffed, as if to play off the little internal war. Talking about Bath... Bombs? Being relaxing?

Has he ever gotten into a bath with a bomb? (Has Silco? More likely than you would think.)
]

I don't know how a bomb in the bathwater is supposed to be relaxing. You must be spending too much time with Jinx.

[ he doesn't know this kid, but the way they are both acting guilty is.

Interesting. Bad?
