[ Silco was all well and ready to go on and on yet again about the Enforcers, the system that they perpetuated, and their lack of recidivism, and how it affected the people of Zaun.
He was so close.
He could see the opportunity slipping away, like sand in his fingers, when Ciel said the dreaded words.
And he's already put away his sunglasses, so she can see, in full glory, the way his eyes look to her -- his single eyebrow drew in and one eye narrowed -- before he looked away, and back to her. He clasped his hands behind his back, to keep her from seeing the way he wound them together. It had been something of an open secret in Zaun, that Jinx was like Silco's daughter, but here... he'd honestly hoped that nobody would even consider it. It was easier that way.
Mind by now, Kaeya clearly knew, but Kaeya wouldn't exactly be telling anyone his secrets. Ciel was Meridian now. ]
Yes, well, I can see how your demeanor would make her think of a Piltie, so... it's good that you mentioned you knew me. She trusts me a lot more than anyone topside.
[ Since, you know...she's his daughter, but he doesn't say that. Silco, as always, is a tight-lipped, secretive man. Even his powers, he'd kept as secret as possible. Is it so surprising that he wouldn't cop to anything that humanizes him? ]
