[ you will, she thinks. someday, that knowledge will squirrel itself through his head. either he'll remember. or she'll tell him. when is the real question looping through their heads. when will jinx reveal it? when will silco remember? when will this tentative, fragile space they're making shatter?
she feels like she's doling out her pieces. like candy. like bait. what will silco react to? what will he bite? will he sink his teeth into it? will he rip it apart?
jinx feels so methodical. smart. cunning. devious. so. so.so
so like silco.
it makes her weep. here she was, being him and he doesn't know. he doesn't understand. how can she make him understand without tearing herself apart in the process how how how
[ He's blissfully ignorant. So, so blissfully ignorant. Between texting his daughter and verbally lacerating Vergilius all day in the van...
He doesn't know how clever she's being. Devious. Cunning. He would be proud, could he recognize it.
Wouldn't he be?
He's so, so ignorant. What a place for him to be in, when he is so used to holding all of the information close to his chest, ready to use it when the mood strikes. He doesn't know he is on the other end right now. ]
[ she knows. she hates that she knows that now without powder's feelings bleeding through every day. her guilt. her painful need to prove herself. to be useful. to be necessary. to never be left behind again.
but no one truly left her. she made them leave. she's so good at that. the best. she bites down on her lip. tastes her own tainted blood. ]
[ annoying! especially since there are things she would like his help on. questions she still wants answered! conversations that are all packed in her head! and she can't. bring. it. up.
it bubbles up in her, toxic and severe. how she tamps it down, she doesn't even know. ]
so im teamed up with everlight. also new in revelation.
[ Ignorance is bliss, isn't it? He soldiers on, oblivious.
How long can he remain so? ]
In Revelation, Set is reliable. If you ask for something, he will provide it, and he is a god. [ He doesn't say that it is because Set and Silco have an agreement, about their children. It persists. Set would burn cities, if it meant Jinx's survival. ] Lilias and Jinwoo are also reliable on the team. They seem to be willing to offer aid if needed. Nanami owes me, and may be willing to help in a pinch, and of course...Kaladin cannot help but insert himself if he thinks it is the right thing to do. [ ugh ]
On Everlight there is Hunter, and Raidou is an obnoxious meddling type, but can be directed if he thinks something is the right thing to do. Yor is stronger than she looks and Laios will do anything for kaiju parts. Godzilla is easily incensed and directed, if needed, but is quite large, and I would not recommend without observing his behavior patterns first.
[ It's all so complicated. How does he describe this, or what was before, or β
So he doesn't. She's here, isn't that what matters? ]
Long enough to get the lay of the land, and understand the personalities at play, at the very least. In between dodging the giant monsters. Unfortunately, it also means that most of them also know me.
[ Silco's so used to working in the shadows, where people don't see his every move, but he's been tracked from the very beginning here. It's inconvenient, though he's adapted. Make big moves in one place, so nobody notices when he does something else where they can't see. ]
Of course not. They could kill me, however. I do not trust that it would result in my return to where we came from.
Or they could interfere in my work here. That would be inconvenient, at best.
[ Sure, it doesn't really matter in the long run. Most of it wouldn't matter. Still, Silco needs to stay busy, and to stay busy, he needs things to do, other than complain and smoke β which he does plenty of that too. ]

Even better. It will never see it coming with all the distractions.

[ He still doesn't really know the full scope of it. Not really. She doesn't look like she's on shimmer, but the eyes... They're a dead giveaway. ]
I suppose that would make sense. I haven't seen you in action yet.
