[ Jinx is still, unmoving save for a slightly deeper breath as she's moved onto her side - until Silco lays his hands on that troublesome root.

and as soon as he begins applying pressure, begins severing the connection between her and the Tree - it's like an electrical wire had been pressed to her instead. her hand juts out, eyes snapping wide open as she grapples with part of his shirt, fingers coiling tightly--

but she seems to realize it's Silco... Silco. with both hands, no longer pale as death and splattered with his own blood, and...

she doesn't even feel the pinch as the root is fully detached. instead, like a child rising from a nightmare, she makes a muffled sound of suppressed distress before reaching for his hand. the one she'd taken the knife to, squeezing it tightly. ]


I-it wasn't... real?

[ she doesn't understand.

but--

he's whole, right? he's whole, and the relief is enough to stop her from worrying about the rest. for now. ]
