memories are only there to make you bleed. 

"Isn't that the truth..."

The light of the flame reflects briefly in that one damaged eye, lighting it up as he lights a cigar. The light is gone with a snap, the lighter closed with a flick of his wrist; Silco takes his time, inhaling then exhaling, his good eye half-closed.

"They make you bleed, teaching and reteaching lessons that should have been learned long ago." Reclining on the sofa, he drapes an arm across the sofa's back, watching the woman.

The cigar gestures toward the bottle sitting on his desk. For you, the motion says without words.

Silco rewards his people well for their loyalty.

"We never do learn some lessons, do we."

he never treated her as a lesser than or someone beneath him. for that, he's earned her unwavering trust and loyalty. as well as these moments of the inner workings of their minds being exchanged. not many are so fortunate to take breather and have a heart to heart with one's boss. both had been reminiscing, dredging up old memories –  things best left forgotten.

she'd just snuffed out her own smoke when she noticed his gesture to the bottle on his desk. an appreciative nod is given as sevika reaches for it, silver eyes falling on the label of the bottle.

❝ maybe some lessons are just meant to be revisted. not for the sake of learning and moving on. but so we never forget. ❞ she glances his way once more, watching him curiously. ❝ would you go back and change anything? if you could? ❞ as she questioned him, she uncorked the bottle. nothing like deep conversation fueled by alcohol.

[sevikah]

she gingerly rubs at her chin as she watches the other. a wide toothy grin begins to grow the moment her eyes make contact with vi's. if not for jinx, sevika would be going for a round two. the other slugged her one good the moment they came across one another – to be expected, really. they've all gone too many months without seeing another. alignments have shifted. and it just so happens that sevika backs the blue-headed annoyance who made them swear off fighting while they're joining forces. she assumes this means temporarily.

❝ typical. you always were the kind to swing at another when they weren't looking. if i'd been paying attention, it'd be you with the bruised jaw. ❞

one thing you'll never pry out of my hands is how loyal sevika is. and before anyone slaps me with the "but vander-" let me aht, aht right there. i said she was loyal, not messy. (and as a vander lover, i'm not gonna even say i agree with that altercation and how everything played out.) sevika is loyal first and foremost to zaun and its people. those who fail its people or who she deems weak/ill fit to lead its people no longer have her backing them up. and you see throughout the series that at one point she did respect vander/held some level of regret because he was someone she looked up to at one point in time. now with him out of mind, her loyalty lies with those she believes in. ie. silco, jinx, isha.

sevika is very much a leftie who had to adjust to being a rightie. she struggles to do something as simple as lighting a cigarette or repairing the multiple metal arms she's gotten over the years with a screwdriver. jinx calls her "leftie" and i'm inclined to believe it goes deeper than sevika losing her left arm. her entire being of how she operates has significantly changed and it shows in subtle ways. she didn't just lose an arm, she lost how she carries herself and her some of her mannerisms. and while she comes off as stoic or a hard-ass most of the time, there are flashes of grief in her eyes or sadness in how she sits and her shoulders droop forward. the frustration shown when she's trying to fix her metal arm isn't because it's one handed, but because she's doing it with her non-dominant hand.

i'm sleepy rambling. tldr, sevika is a leftie.

SEVIKA | Arcane – 1.05 “Everybody Wants To Be My Enemy”

[sevikah]

she's a regular at the last drop. practically feels like she's known vander and those brats he adopted as his own nearly all her life. despite how she feels lately, she returns like clockwork. this bar feels like the heart of zaun sometimes. she's not always much of a people person, but this place really brings her out of her shell to connect with others. (or maybe it's the alcohol.)

she sits at the bar this time around, hand always at the ready to flag him down for another. it was a particularly rotten day earlier on. she'd been stopped by an enforcer for questioning and somehow conversation ended in a physical brawl. sevika got away, of course. she dawns a swollen cheek and cut lip, but the drinks and simply being around her own seemed to be soothing the ache. until it wasn't.

 ❝ don't need you cutting me off, old man, ❞ she spoke coolly, annoyance beginning to etch into her features with a twitch of her brow. she knows vander likely meant well. hell, she nearly expected he wanted to have a little pep talk and reminder that they all needed to behave with those asshole enforcers. but she didn't want to hear it.  ❝ you know what i think? in trying to make peace, you've let the chaos through the door. you've lost your way, vander. so save me from this heart-to-heart bullshit and slide over another. ❞

those chembarons are really becoming a headache. an actual headache that lingers behind her eyes as she sits – legs outstretched, posture completely limp and leaning back into the couch cushion, a drink being nursed in her right hand. if they don't take care of those idiots soon, shit's gonna get out of hand.

but more importantly at this very moment, – ❝ could you possibly listen to that music any louder? ❞ she yells over the booming music and has half the mind to doing something that'll cause that stereo to be permanently handled. nevermind the fact that sevika has chosen jinx's safe haven. she's trying to think and that music and whatever the hell the kid's doing (she assumes isha is dancing … or something) is all distracting her.

updated pinned shows mobile guidelines which link to my multi's sideblog, so verbiage is off. i'll eventually make one here once i get a sideblog created for sevika. also teeny plug, i do have more arcane / league of legends muses over at @dreadhour

as far as activity goes, i generally prioritize my multi for days on end and then switch to a solo blog for some tlc. so i will be dipping in and out a lot.

*gives a thumbs up* / isha <3

they were supposed to be making pancakes together. she's not all that sure what she's looking at now. sevika had trusted isha with pouring the batter and stood to the side while the child even flipped it. (and for a moment there, sevika thought she might have found a handy little helped.) the flip job didn't come out that great and – she's not even sure where the smiley face made from chocolate chips at gone. even simply giving this short stack of pancakes a once over, at least half of the batch is undercooked. before she can make a comment, her gaze fell on the other's … and she couldn't pop the kid's bubble. not with that look of pride and little thumb's up. she thought she'd have to force a smile, but it came naturally. ❝ not … too bad, kid. ❞ she'll make sure to cut around the undercooked bits.

it takes a monster to destroy a monster. / @hexpow

well … at least jinx is finally on board. she grew worried the chaotic girl had gone complacent; like she lost her way and stopped thinking about the fight ahead. (but now they have the numbers, people who believe in her to help lead them. – they're all so tired of these piltover enforcers shoving them around.) sevika's not all that sure what inspired the other, but whatever it is, she hopes the momentum keeps going. this time around, none of them can sit this one out. ❝ alright, if we're gonna do this – ❞ immediately cut off before she can finish her thoughts by an wild statement. eyes glance from one side to the other before falling back on jinx. ❝ you seriously calling yourself a monster … wearing those pants? ❞ 

@hexpow

[sevikah]

it's a rarity that she doesn't want to fight on sight. maybe it has something to do with her new position. maybe the fight within has burned out with the ashes of the past. (losing the only bit of family she had lift would do that to a person.) whatever the reason may be, there is no fight in her eyes. her non-metal arm is the only raised, holding a cigar to her lips as she leans against the wall outside of the counsel meeting. she needed a break from those people. thought a smoke would take off the edge. instead, she sees vi and is met with a heavy weight within. a couple of zaunites on the topside trying to make things better – who woulda thought? (she briefly wonders what jinx would think of if all.)

❝ not surprised to see you here, ❞ the brute offers, silver gaze flickering from vi to the vibrant world beyond. (such contrast compared to her home.) ❝ heard you'd gone topside fulltime. ❞

@hexfist told me she read a headcanon that sevika watches tv standing up like a dad and i'm here to confirm and add she absolutely would. pants button undone and cereal bowl in hand. probably mean mugging whatever's on the screen.
