( his buzzing causes her to open her eyes towards his direction, amused by his dramatic anguish. but what she finds even more amusing is him wanting to call a temporary truce between them. her eyes dart curiously at his hand as she clicks her tongue slowly in thought. how interesting.

having him on her side would definitely be a helpful thing. while she has complete faith in ragna being her muscle and power if she somehow gets into a jam, jinx isn't quite sure how he is in the intelligent department. he is nowhere near an idiot, but she can't really picture her partner in crime inventing anything or to come up with a really elaborate plan if things get a little dire. whatever ekko makes around here, she can use for own gain if needed. although, it begs the question -- the fact she still has the gemstone and all of her weapons lock and loaded, will this change their truce? will that matter?

like she's dumb enough to tell him she has anything. and if he finds out, it'll be his own fault for showing up late. if he was on time, he would had saw her little show on the network when she displayed the stone for everyone to see. done making noises, she finally comes up with a decision. )

Are we doin' just a normal handshake or are we gonna do the thing where we spit on our hands and shake on it? Y'know. To make it more official.

( they COULD just do a really unsanitary blood oath, but something tells her that ekko would rather not have any of her shimmer blood on him. )
