[there's a pause there, a slightly startled one. not at the head on his shoulder, he's used enough to that, but the or he. the automatic acceptance that he might not be interested in women, and that that wasn't an issue for her.
what a comfort. it's not something he talks about often, mostly because the subject of his love interests doesn't really come up. but it's nice to hear it.
silco wraps his arm around jinx, encouraging the leaning.] He. [It's said quietly, simply to clarify and narrow down her hypothetical search.] That's a bit of a tall order, isn't it? Hard working, moderately good looking, sense of humour, good in a fight.
But of course knowing that you come first. I don't tolerate anyone who doesn't realize that, romantically or not.
[men, then. she can work with that. but now jinx wonders if she should come clean about her preferences too in order to make this even. maybe she should wait until he brings it up in this already conversation or in the near future when they're not so public.
either way, she skates her treat box to the left and settles resting against him — observing jericho working the stove and slicing up sea creatures.]
The funny bit is more for me. I gotta like him too, you know. But... if he's not out there, then that's okay. My love is enough, right?
It is. [it's said emphatically, one arm going around her shoulder to hold her against him. it's been he and jinx against the world for so long, now. from the moment she'd launched herself around his waist, that day out in the rain, he knew he'd burn down the whole damned planet to protect her.]
You're all I need in this world. The rest is confetti. [bright and fun, but brief and unimportant. not like this.
he squeezes her arm, nosing against her hair with a sigh.] And what about you, hmm? Any amorous boys or girls I need to worry about interrogating? Making certain they're good enough for you?
[when it's her turn to have the line of questioning, her lips thin tightly in a way to keep her silence. there is someone, a boy. but a boy she shouldn't like at all, a boy her father will disapprove of without a second glance — with him being the leader of the firelights and all. she won't lie to silco, but she will keep ekko's name locked away behind her heart.]
There's someone, but. You don't have to worry about him getting in the way.
