[ One eye closed, his jaw slack, Silco had very nearly collapsed onto his daughter, and it was only because of Jinx that he wasn't entirely a solid figure on the ground. He was nearly unconscious, but he was also breathing. Jinx, though, Jinx was starting to panic, and Silco's brain is still somewhat active -- slowed though it may be -- evidenced by the fact that his unblinking eye still moved.
He could really quitehard, harder even than fighting for his life, scrambling and scrounging for every advantage he could find. Even now, he thought he'd seen the hardest thing he'd encountered, but Jinx -- he could fight the encroaching swell of darkness and promise of oblivion for Jinx, couldn't he?
There was a reason, after all, why Finn said his spine was like jelly, when it came to his daughter. ]
Nngh -- [ Well, he's still not very coherent, but his eye still moves, and it's swiveling, looking around, trying to free the haze that's taken over him.
His eye landed on the vials at their feet, and Silco's body can barely move, but he stirred, teeth gritted, fighting through it, but he nudged Jinx, first with a shoulder, and then, if she doesn't respond, with his stump of a wrist -- the other barely supporting himself as he tried to weakly push himself up -- but he can't look away from the vials now, the focus on the prize -- on freedom is all that can keep him awake. ]
