[ He says it honestly. After all, he'd never been an uncle, and never had one. No siblings, no parents, it's all the usual story in Zaun. He knew what they were, and that some still had them, but it's nothing that he's really seen in practice. ]
[ There's a flicker of annoyance, that Mikey is probing. A paranoia that Silco feels, in that someone is asking questions about him. Silco has no concept of doing something just out of pure curiosity, and assumes it must be a way to get "at" him. ]
What's them having to be kids have to do with anything?
[ There's a flicker there. Silco has no concept of child labor, given that Mikey will get the distinct impression that he worked when he was young, and would put kids to work in general.
As long as they weren't his, of course. ]
Very well, but I expect the same courtesy shown towards my kid, understood?
You're such an idiot. She's going to be looked after. If she's in trouble, that will upset you, which in turn will upset me. It'd be shooting myself in the foot.

... I like kids. What is it like, to be a dad...?
no subject
[ Seriously, his tone says: stay out of his non-existent love life. He very much prefers it this way. ]
Hm. Did you want me to say it's "rewarding"? [ It'll break your heart to be a dad, Mikey. ] It's complicated. I wouldn't trade her for anything.
[ Literally tho. ]
no subject
Of course it's complicated. What fucking isn't?
no subject
That's fair. [ After all, look at his whole shitshow of a life? ]
Still. That is how I can describe it.
[ At least... without giving too much away. Even with himself inexplicably linked to this boy, Silco holds so much of himself back. ]

Uncle is dad lite.

I don't think I've known anyone with one before.
no subject
You take care of them. Like a second parent. I don't have any either.
no subject
[ Like. Zaun?? lol. ]
I suppose you'll have to find some kids to look out for, if you want to be one now. We're not exactly going to get any other chances now.
no subject
Your kiddo here too?
no subject
Why?
no subject
Come on. I'm sick, I'm bored. Talk to me.
no subject
Yes, she is. [ And yet, Silco responds, although it's still not much great conversation. ]
What made you sick?
no subject
no subject
[ Sucks to be you, Mikey. ]
Inconvenient.
no subject
There are certain people I don't want involved in shady shit.
no subject
Who? And why? If they're particularly useful...
no subject
Because they're mine.

(ONE IS HIS EX-BOYFRIEND THIS IS WEIRD)
You're such an idiot. She's going to be looked after. If she's in trouble, that will upset you, which in turn will upset me. It'd be shooting myself in the foot.
no subject
I'd also kill you, and it would be an unpleasant experience. Maybe I'd soul-forge you, if you dared.
[ Sorry Mikey. Silco is not exactly. Healthy. ]
But I won't let them get involved in any of my business. Deal?
no subject
Names are Takemichi Hanagaki, Kazutora Hanemiya, and Keisuke Baji.
no subject
Not exactly hard to forget, hm? I'll keep that in mind, and I won't touch them.
no subject
I'll look after her from a distance. We good on this agreement?
no subject
[ After all, he respects Mikey's criteria, Mikey will make sure Jinx stays safe. He should note -- ]
Make sure she doesn't notice you. She can take care of herself, and would be Very annoyed if I gave her a bodyguard.
