Yeah, watching you nearly piss your pants when I was on shimmer was a the only real joy of that moment for me too. When I close my eyes at night, I still smile about it.
[Now he knew his temper was rising, and he knew he was letting Silco provoke him. He knew that he should stop this and walk away, but there was something at the way that the other man battered at him in text that made him wonder something.
Why? Why now? Silco had free-access to this inbox and had only just now come. Was it the Kirk thing? Was it something else? Silco always had a reason for lashing out, and the other man knew exactly how to push many of his buttons.
And yeah, he was lashing out too. He was battering right back because he was hurt and angry and frightened about that monster, of seeing that he was going to exist in this experimented state that could tear people apart. It was like being back on the bridge in his fury and grief and wishing to die there with Felicia and... Silco. To just die full of bullets after inflicting pain on their oppressors one last time.
As the beast, he couldn't die. The damage inflicted by Vi hadn't even slowed him for long. Seconds. What if after that memory he killed them? Jinx had seemed so confident he could be saved. Even in death, he couldn't stay that way.]
It won't work, will it? It sounds like it's working if you're still storming over there.
You've done nothing, hmm? Yeah, I've seen how much nothing you're willing to do. Remember how she said we couldn't stab each other? Yeah, me too, so we applied our cigarettes to each other instead. Rule of the letter, isn't it? You go to the line but not over, not with her.
You can't risk losing her. She's your most important person, your world. I see the way you look at her, Silco. I see that you have nothing but Jinx in this place, so no, I will never stand in the way of you and her. I think that's a bridge you'll burn all on your own. And that's when I'll intervene.
[Try to talk Jinx back around went unspoken. He didn't want their relationship to fall apart. Silco, in all his paranoia, would probably read the last comment as a threat to steal Jinx. He wouldn't dissuade the man of the notion.]
Text ; cw: suicidal mention
