Visiting the zoo
Continued from here with @gauntlets-shot
The visits between Vi, and Jinx hadnβt ever quite been the same after that night by the river. Jinx always seeming a bit more stand offish, a bit less interested in hugs, a bit less open. She hadnβt asked again if Vi would choose her, or leave with her, or anything similar. Eyes always a bit sharp, and considering like a wild hound watching something to decide if it was prey or not. All the same she never actually told Vi not to come back. For as hurt as Jinx felt, and as much as she was firmly convinced Vi wouldn't choose her properly at least not while Vi had her life up in Piltover she still couldnβt bring herself to tell Vi to go away entirely. A part of her buried deep down inside perhaps hoped that Vi would change her mind, and regardless the visits from Vi were better than being completely and utterly alone always and forever.
Jinx also hadnβt given Vi the location of her workshop. With Vi being up in Piltover so often, and so closely associated with the enforcers Jinx simply didnβt trust Vi with it. However she had given Vi the address of one particular safe house, and was spending enough time there now for Vi to find her perhaps not consistently but more often than not. This evening sheβd been there quietly coloring a new batch of chompers while listening to music, and hearing the knock had opened it ever so slightly while holding her pistol in one hand peaking out. Shimmer fueled eye gleaming as she studied Vi, and than blinked in surprise. Door closing she undid a couple of chains, and opened it more fully. βThe zoo?" That was an offer she truly hadnβt expected, and for a second Jinx honestly wondered if this was some kind of trap. If maybe Vi had finally been convinced by Caitlyn, or some other enforcer to lead βthe deadly terrorist Jinxβ into a trap up in Piltover. Even now however she couldnβt truly imagine Vi doing that. The two of them fighting because Jinx went to Piltover to cause some destruction, and Vi got called to the scene? Sure she could imagine that. Vi leading her into a trap however not so much.
The pistol was put away, and she nodded. βAlright. Give me a second.β Stepping into her safe house Jinx took a quick moment to grab a few things. Cloak to toss over her head hiding her hair as well as wrap around herself. A couple of chompers latched onto her belt just in case. Extra ammo for Zapper because you never could tell when annoying Firelights might show up. Pausing for a second she considered bringing Pow-pow as well, but decided against it and headed out onto the street. Door shut, and locked behind her Jinx had also set a trap behind her as she didnβt actually enter the safe house through the front door anyways. βLetβs go.β A part of her wanted to be snarky and ask if this would be okay with Caitlyn. Another part didnβt want to think about the sister-stealing bitch at all, and so she simply moved along side Vi.
βSo why the zoo anyways?β
