[Should he point out that means him wanting Silco dead for killing Benzo. Because for whatever beef Silco maybe had with Vander, he killed Benzo first. While Ekko watched.]
Better living or living better?

Nah, it's not the same thing. It's all about which part you think is more important.
oh. her.
not surprised.
silco going to show up next
or the captain who tried to kill all of us.

I figured you'd say that.
[It's hard to explain to her the difference. Should he even try? What's the point? Explaining to her the desire to do better and be better as a person versus the want for accessories and luxuries of living "freely." Would it make sense to her now?]
You ain't there yet. Believe me, when you know the difference...you'll know.

[One of these days he's gonna get whiplash from her and how she changes topics.]
I haven't been around that long.
[He's not answering the question in a yes or no. Her asking about other people is never a good idea.]

try hoping for world peace
or a better barter system.
who knows.
there's a six degrees of separation going on here.
that's still lot of people to pick from
but there's always the chance.

Awww, my poor lil' Firelight. You against the world, huh? — Bet that's hitting ya kinda hard.
( is that a mean jab how he is here without his bug group? possibly. and as far as she's concerned, that's a very good thing. it's annoying having to fight against a group when she's all by her lonesome. sure, she can squish a few, but when they're flying all around her at once? it's tricky. )
So what will you do? Recruit new ones?
( because what is a leader without followers? and if he does decide to go that route, she'll need to keep an eye on who joins him. she won't do anything about it, but it'll be nice information to have in her pocket. safe keeping. )

the docks are always busy
good for finding work.
bartering feathers for fish is weird though.
you really think you need to take more chances?
i know they said we don't die here
but you're gonna test that.

[It's a jab that connects more than he wants it to. Because he is alone. Crazy to be trapped in some other world built on giving you a whole new life with the two people who are the only family he has left and he's alone. He's been stuck in this arrested position, trying to slowly figure this world and his place in it out.
Maybe the problem is he's looking for a place instead of making one.]
I don't recruit. I put out what I'm doing. If other people are down, they join in. And if it's only just me, then that's what it'll be.

( there's a slow yet easing sigh that she lets out from her torso. her eyes are shut with a pleasing smile along her face. it's probably strange for her to grin over his words. well, for anyone who doesn't know her very well or how she works. sometimes jinx ponders if the two of them are just on the opposite side of the same coin. they were best friends once upon a time so maybe it's more obvious than one would think.
the blue haired girl rolls to her side to face him; lying somewhat in a fetal position and the smile inches wider. )
Great minds think alike.
( — and to why she can't seem to quit him, either. even with a new world and a new life, this back and forth game she invented in her head is far too fun to end. his mind is something she wishes to pick at, and his cunning ways from time to time when he gets the upper hand (as infuriating it is) is...intriguing. like a moth flying to a flame. how funny that is. )

["Great minds think alike." Something they would have said to each other in teasing agreement back then. Because they had been two peas in a pod. They'd gotten each other in a way no one else did. She'd been his sister in ever way but blood. So all the ways that mattered to him.
Not that it should matter in the now. They'd both chosen their sides--or rejected all sides. This world didn't change thator did it?
He huffs, but it's not annoyed or angry or amused. Just...thoughtful.]
Heh. Maybe. You talk about me recruiting, but you're the social butterfly.

Ooo, am I? Have you been watching me? If you have, why not come out and play?
( "play" has many meanings and she isn't the one to tell him which kind of play she is referring to. he may be her enemy but that doesn't mean he isn't an attractive enemy. still grinning, jinx teasingly wiggles her eyebrows to him -- surprisingly getting comfortable just lying on her carpet. )
I mean if ya wanna play a game of hide and seek, you shoulda told me I was the seeker.

I do my thing, you do yours, remember?
[Because he's not sure exactly what she wants from him. Hasn't been sure of that for a long time. Does she want him dead? Does she just want him out of the way? They aren't who they used to be, but somehow they keep circling back toward each other.]
And it's not hiding if no one's been looking.

Yes it is 'cuz I've been looking...!!
( similar to vi, she needs to know his location, his friends, and who he finds important. these are three key things jinx needs to know at all times and store in her pocket. when will they understand it's important for her to have this information in case something happens? if he or vi do something dirty, she has to find them, rough them up, and punish them for hurting her feelings. )

hard to get used to having stuff
having a place a job
respect
the fears familiar tho
not those kind of chances
well not yet not now
chances to make a change
ur good at that shit
thats ur corner its where u shine
even with all the good shit here
theres people sleeping in boats
in shacks
nameless fishermen that die for us
i do food drops sometimes
they still dont trust me completely and ig they shouldnt
but it shouldnt be like that there
when theres so much more everywhere else

[He wonders if he's been more lowkey than he thought. It was mostly unintentional, but old habits die hard. He can't help avoiding being out in the open, choosing to blend into crowds, watching all sightlines when he enters shops to see who could be watching.
For someone who wasn't trying to hide, he may have done a much better job of it than he meant to. He's not sure how to explain that to Jinx, who sees malice everywhere and always assumes everything people do is some dig or attack on her.]
Not like I've been going out of my way to be seen, either. Been spending time at the archives, catching up.

Theeeen ♪, how about takin' a break and meet up with me sometime?
( is the smile on her friendly or up to no good? it's hard to say especially when she flashes him a small wink. )
I'll even treat ya to some food. We could call it a date.
( because who wouldn't want to go on a date with the one and only "the loose cannon"? if there's one big thing she misses in zaun is some of her followers. one liked her enough to make a song after her. or was the song more of a warning? who knows. )

[His kneejerk reaction is no. It will always be no. For now it's no. Things are different here, but he's not as a point yet where he's not going to wonder all the ways this could go wrong. But he doesn't say it. Doesn't reject her outright.]
How 'bout we invite Vi and make it a family reunion?
[The last time all three of them were together...well it was fucked up. Maybe this time could turn out with less blood, death, and explosions.]
