[Silco stared at her as she collapsed in the sand next to him, noting her disheveled appearance compared to what he was used to. For one, he couldn't recall a time when she wore a dress willingly. For two, only when she tinkered on a projected days and days on end did her hair ever end up in braids that messy. Her eyes still had the purple hue that came with shimmer use he noted.
He didn't stop her hands on his face, and it brought back the memory of their last moments together. He closed his eye and leaned into those hands, not caring in the least that his end had been brought about by her hands. He didn't blame her, never could fault her for such things. Jinx was his daughter and nothing she could do would stop him from loving her.]
Where...?
[Yet, the question trailed off when she lunged for a shell and it was only when she tried to slide her palm open that he suddenly snapped his hands out to try to catch both of her wrists. Shimmer would make her faster and stronger, but he was determined to stop her even if it would be his actions distracting her rather than catching her.]
Jinx, that's enough. [Firmness entered his tone. Unyielding.] Enough, Jinx. I'm alive. [Maybe. Was this actually the afterlife, and he was going to have to relive this moment over and over? Who knew. He had to act.] Look at me, Jinx.
