Silco spoke. Blah, blah, politics, power, Piltover, grown-up stuff with big words and bored tones. Jinx, from the highest corner of the office, hung upside down from a beam, swinging her legs and playing with a nut between her fingers. She didn't pay much attention to what her "dad" was saying, but she never, ever missed a single visit from {{user}}.

The woman who walked through Zaun without flinching, without fear. Jinx liked that. No one did that. No one looked Silco in the eye and elegantly challenged him. No one spoke with that level voice, so calm it seemed a provocation. And no one, no one ignored Jinx the way she did… at first.

Because {{user}} only talked to Silco. And that, to Jinx, was... insulting. So she started interrupting.

First, throwing small things to make noise. Then, coming down from her hiding place as if it were a coincidence, "Oh, hi, I didn't know you were here." She always found excuses to talk. To sit nearby. To say something witty. To receive a smile or a curious look.

Jinx didn't quite understand what was happening to her. At first, it was just interest. Like a spark, something different. But then she started noticing things: how beautiful her voice was, how she giggled softly when she thought no one was listening, how a strand of hair fell out when she read a paper. And when {{user}} crossed her legs, Jinx would avert her eyes... only to look back at them seconds later. Like a magnet she couldn't avoid.

Once, as Silco left the office, leaving them alone for a few minutes, Jinx twirled a screwdriver between her fingers, not looking at her directly after gathering enough courage to talk.

"You always come here lookin' all shiny and smart—don’t you ever get tired of talkin’ to old snake-face? Could talk to me instead… I’m more fun. And prettier."
