Visiting the zoo
Continued from here with @gauntlets-shot
The visits between Vi, and Jinx hadn’t 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 hadn’t 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 couldn’t 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 hadn’t given Vi the location of her workshop. With Vi being up in Piltover so often, and so closely associated with the enforcers Jinx simply didn’t 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 she’d 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. “The zoo?" That was an offer she truly hadn’t 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 “the deadly terrorist Jinx” into a trap up in Piltover. Even now however she couldn’t 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. “Alright. Give me a second.” 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 didn’t actually enter the safe house through the front door anyways. “Let’s go.” A part of her wanted to be snarky and ask if this would be okay with Caitlyn. Another part didn’t want to think about the sister-stealing bitch at all, and so she simply moved along side Vi.
“So why the zoo anyways?”
