[is getting serious vi's mo? sometimes. it can be. and it could be now, since this is a serious situation.]
Oh. Yeah. Johnny's got---
[a sigh into the air. an eyeroll. a thoughtful frown.]
---he's trying his best.
[is his best sometimes a mess? welp, a lot of them can lay claim to that fault.]
Off topic? In Trench? With my sister? You don't say. [sounds about right.] But you're right, good to know who's who and what's what. Not so long ago I was the one asking all the questions 'cause I was the new blood in town.
[it's not as advanced as some things she's seen and it might not be magic, but the shift of the mask's 'expression' is amusing (and informative).]
And I'm all ears. If that came out sounding like I'm being a smartass, I can't always help that, so you gotta take my word for it. If Jinx thinks you're a friend, then we're good. So far, anyway. She's...
...she's trying really hard. And yeah, there's a lot going on. More than a lot. I can't be there every time, even if I try. Sometimes she might not want me there. She needs people that have her back, no matter what. Straight shooters that can still manage to soften the bullet a little, maybe take the judgy part out of it, y' know?
[the mask. the selfie. the hammer. yeah, she gives him a nod before answering.] I get it. You're willing to do that after just a coupla weeks?
[it's not sus. it's just ...sometimes it's still surprising. but maybe he relates to her. maybe he's like maul, a little? or even sharon. too soon to tell, but the farther out they go, the mistier it seems to get, the more sounds bounce around the trees, the more shadows ...dance.]
