[ whatever answer she expects, it isn’t the one mel gives. an apology.
to jinx, topsiders are a monolith — set apart by their privilege and cruelty. none have ever cared for her, not even the one who barnacled onto her sister in her reeking desperation. they certainly don’t care for the people of zaun. silco always knew that.
an apology doesn’t change that. it doesn’t mean anything. it’s just — there, looking at her. it takes a long moment for her to face it and reply. ]
i didn’t have anything to do with the memorial besides, well, yknow
[ her status as the reason it was held in the first place. ]
what was ur plan? hunt me down all by my lonesome?
And look what more violence gets us. Only more and more with war on the horizon.
I'd like it to end.
And no. Of course not. I simply wanted to know the girl that's been terrorizing Piltover. But this place isn't our home. And I suspect that means you have less reason to repeat your actions from before in this place.
Unless you plan to try to finish your work with me?

You aren't the only target. The memorial made it evident you aren't the only threat.
The team was meant to target the individual threats quickly and directly. To prevent near all out war.
( and by final admission- )
And yes. To target you, specifically. ( she's just a child. she did all of that on her own? )
You did kill people, Jinx. That can't be overlooked. ( who is she trying to remind? Jinx or herself? )

[ she did read koby’s post, eventually. and she rereads mel’s messages now. the cycle of violence. what does she want, if not more pain? ]
we could meet for real
if u want

but also... )
I think that might be a good idea. While we both have a semblance of peace.

there’s a store outside
[ jinx has maybe been enjoying the fresh air. blue skies, even with the winter chill on the crowds, a sight that belonged to piltover alone back home.
and people will be there, so mel won’t worry about being murdered or whatever. ]
