No need to cheat when you know what you're doing. It's all about the timing. Ya gotta know the right moment.

[NO CHEATING HERE. OBVIOUSLY.]

[opheliac]

Whatever. ( she rolls her eyes at this but her annoyance doesn't last for too long. ) ... Hey, this is kinda nice. Well, it's been nice. Just talkin' like this. So, uh.

( how to say this without sounding sappy? )

If you ever need to chat about science or... mechanics, don't be a stranger about it.

[ekkoeffect]

Yeah... [Maybe that was why he kept dragging it along, refusing to let the conversation die. They hadn't talked like this is so long. He doesn't want it to end.

A perfect moment in time when the world falls away and it's just them being them. Nothing else in the way. What if they can't capture a moment like this again?]

Yeah. Same for you. Need some inspiration from a better inventor, hit me up.

[He's teasing then, more genuinely than he's been this whole time.]

Night, Jinx.

( a small snort but a chuckle. like she would ever call him for that. although... she might, you never know. the smile gives him is warm -- a rare sight since she doesn't show it except for vi these days. there's a quick thought on whether or not she should say this next thing to him. because something tells her it'll be a slipper slope for her if she does. but when isn't jinx falling over herself? when hasn't things come bite her in ass with all of her decision makings?

...

ah, fuck it. )

... Night, Little Man.

[That name, those words, it hits something inside of him and he smiles, genuinely. It's small, but it's very much there. He shakes his head, holds up two fingers as a goodbye and cuts the feed before he does something that is too much for him right then, like starting the conversation all over again or calling her "Pow Pow."

One step at a time. He's not wanting to go backwards, only forward. And maybe here--in this crazy fucked up world that somehow isn't Zaun--Jinx and he can walk the same path for a while again. Maybe.]
