[Sure they had their differences in many aspects and they wouldn't always agree on things but that didn't mean Ekko would give up on her. Even when it came to shimmer, although he despised what the drug had done to the masses of Zuan, culling them under its effects as Silco used it both to subjugate and empower the people depending on the person he knew Jinx now relied on it for survival. She probably wouldn't have been here today if it hadn't been for Singed using its potent abilities to save the girl from the brink of death and was thankful for that much even if he wished there could have been another way. Eventually there would come a time when they talked about how she was able to sustain herself here in Aldrip but that would be a long time coming.
When she looks upwards to the hand offered then back to his face without accepting it a grimace look falls over his lips though was swiftly met by an unexpected turn of events. Tears begin to pour from Jinx’s eyes causing him to gasp audibly and before he can even react she leaps from her perch to embrace him in a tight hold. The sobbed words that usher forth cause his jaw to go slack in awe, caught off guard until finally wrapping his arms about her in turn. Tucking his cheek against the top of her head the boy shakes his own silently until he whispers out softly in a reassuring manner.]
I would never do that…Not after everything we’ve gone through together. Even if we had our fair share of differences, I always cared about you, Jinx. I always will.
[They could stay like this as long as she pleased, Ekko in no rush to leave her especially in such a vulnerable state of mind. He knew she was conflicted and something was clearly stopping her from giving into her true desire but wouldn't continue to press the issue.]
[ how embarrassing this is, to have a raven squawking and wailing in distress at a prey she is meant to eat or demolish. if anyone else saw her now (especially from home), they would think twice about silco's so-called prodigy, and maybe execute her as a sign of mercy. jinx pulls away slightly, sniffing and rubbing off any excessive tears and snot with the back of her hand before blinking up to the boy before her.
she's still so unsure about all of this, and knows damn well that being with him will cause a lot of strife. she knows her heart is beating for him, but there's hurt swirling all around it too, if not slightly skipping a beat for quentin every so often too. all of this is confusing, and happening so unexpectedly, but there's one thing she knows for sure... — and that something is that he is real. ekko is in front of her, just like he said, and their kiss felt real too. so if her world crumbles into itty bitty pieces, and she can no longer tell what reality is what, at least... she can make their kiss her starting point.
so with that, jinx stands on her toes again — her hand carefully stirs to cup gingerly at the back of his head as she tilts her own. closer and closer her lips reaches his, until they meet one more time. this kiss she plants on him is different, not as feverish, but there's fondness flowing through it. maybe aldrip finally broke her and made her go completely bonkers. but so what if she is bonkers? all the best people are, they say. ]
