[ It's sad to think that some sense of family has come out of something so horrible, but at least an event so horrible was also capable of producing something good. A lot goes unsaid because Dom doesn't know how to say it, hasn't figured out how to shape it into words from abstract feelings, like trying to figure out how to hold water in your hands for the first time.

How do you tell someone they mean a substantial amount to you, when the most significant moments are barely shoved into the backs of their memories, silhouettes visible if you really look? Everything that has come since - their conversations, the time they've spent at the Hex Club when they didn't want others to come after the wolves - adds to the case, but it's not quite the same. If it wasn't for that, he wouldn't know that Shauna had and lost a son, she wouldn't know that he had and lost a father, and he wouldn't be talking to a man who just lost someone too. ]

Me too

Maybe we could all have dinner or something
If u don't want to be alone

[ For Silco, it's just the way of the world. The bonds forged in suffering are stronger, tenfold, than those forged in weightless summer days. To shed blood for and with another — that's binding. Inextricable, in his mind, from the nature of tenderness and care. Devotion isn't worth anything if you're not willing to bleed for it.

Would he bleed, for Dom? For Shauna? Before the games, he wouldn't have hesitated to say no. Now—

Now, Jinx is gone. If his life here, his life after death, is a knife to be wielded, with whom would he trust the hilt? ]

Alright.

[ The best he can do, falling short of I'd like that, but still an offer accepted. ]

At the club?

[wicka]

Yea
I like doing stuff there
It's pretty cool

[powerhungry]

Thank you, Dom.

[ For the compliment, for the offer of company, for— ]

I'll arrange it, then.

[wicka]

Thanks Silco

Can I ask for one more thing?

Jinx has this jacket that she got from me
Do u think I can have it back

[powerhungry]

[ After a moment, just long enough for him to look around the room and find the jacket in question: ]

Of course.
I can bring it to you at dinner.

🎀!

[wicka]

Appreciate it
I'll see u soon

[ And hey, maybe they'll sit and talk for a while. Dee is always happy to be around the others, too. ]
