[oh. heh. it's not as if she can unsay it now. but the important part is that now she knows it's "mylo" speaking (the one in jinx's head, who's just worse-seeming in every way) - she just scoffs.]
Well, Mylo doesn't get an opinion on that, says me. I'm banning it. As of right now. [she's firm but calm as she says it.] This kinda stuff blowing up in Jinx's face? Not funny. Ekko wasn't funny, and this isn't funny, either. Take your sabotage dreams elsewhere, okay?
[a flick into the air as if 'buzz off' could do just that - as if he's a buzzing little gnat.]
You've got this. Think of it as defusing a bomb. [or carefully crafting one, only it doesn't deal damage, it just ...explodes with feelings?] You could do that in your sleep, yeah?
( she watches her sister flick her hand into the air -- which is rather awkward to witness since "mylo" was on the other side of her. but it's the meaning behind it that counts. and interesting enough, his ghost does suddenly disappear and its just the two of them again. it's just like him in some way. he was pretty attention starved to get vi to notice him, so when she scolds at him, he usually shuts up.
so slowly, jinx turns her head back around to the front so her sister can finish her hair properly. with light bite of her lower lip, she speaks in a lull tone: )
...Yeah. Thanks, Vi. Not just with this, but um... ( a pause with an embarrassing forearm rub. ) I dunno, just... thanks with some other stuff.
(...)
Love you.
( ugh, she can feel her face heating up the moment those two words left her. but it's... been a while since she actually said it out loud. so. )
[at least she'd had a visual cue when jinx had been squidly - this is just shooting in the dark, but she's glad she could have any hand (or finger) in silencing the voice even momentarily.
the unexpected thank you, the little embarrassed gesture - it tugs at the heartstrings for sure. and vi gives a playful little ruffle to jinx's hair, more of a little scalp-scratch than anything, careful not to mess up any braiding she's done - after all, this is the hair that chizuru's gonna see.]
No problem. I love you too, Jinxie.
[she'll counter that face flush with her own flush - heartwarming hug and all, and not embarrassed in the least.]
( she'd huff at the hair ruffle but it's the scalp scratch that sends it all the way. the sheepish floats off along with it as she wraps her arms around her knees again. but this time, jinx smiles warmly to herself -- content to have a nice quiet time like this with her big sister.
if someone were to tell her the two of them would be sitting like this after what she's done to piltover, she'd laugh at their face. but now witnessing this is something that's truly happening, jinx is hoping for many moments like this in their future. )
