( it's a good thing this is just between them because in a way, she feels downright ridiculous for needing this much comfort from him. she is suppose to be strong, yes? a girl who can handle whatever gets thrown at her and that would mean all the tough situations. but once silco gives her that extra space, jinx lies beside him and immediately clings to him -- her head resting on a section of his chest that isn't bandaged up as carefully as she can. it's still so surreal that about a month or so ago, her father had no heartbeat... and now, she can hear it humming so clearly against her ear. just having that thought washing over her again tugs out a sniffle.
she's been holding back tears until the moment she saw him, but somehow -- she isn't able to keep them tucked in. with her breathing catching quiet, jinx lets a few of her tears roll down her cheeks before nuzzling more into him. )
