Well then she'll just have to go over and listen more closely!

"Hi!"

Permalink

"Hey! Sorry I'm late, I was just picking up a gift for Idain!" 

She looks across at her fellow gamblers, and taps two knuckles on the table. 

Permalink

"I had a fun afternoon! Looks like you did too."

Permalink

"It'll be even better when I win this round!" 

Jinx pushes a stack of gold coins into the centre of the table.

She giggles and stands back to watch.

Everyone else turns over their cards: Jinx tosses hers into the middle of the table with a sigh of disgust, and watches as a business-suited woman with tightly curled brown hair rakes in a pile of variously shiny currency. 

"Okay, scratch that, maybe I should quit while I'm ahead."

Permalink

"Sounds like a plan. We can go catch up somewhere less... loud."

Permalink

"Yeah, good plan!" 

Jinx gathers up her remaining cash, and tosses a wave over her shoulder as she leaves the table.

And once they're out of there, "Your ex called in an anonymous tip about the bombs at his place, with enough information that when Jayce caught it and investigated he found your apartment. He was there when I got back. We talked. He suggested that it would maybe not be a good idea for you and me to sleep at home tonight."

Permalink

"... That's a new low, even for Vic. Also, you met Jayce?"

Permalink

"Yep. He's nice! And very reasonable about this whole bizarre situation!"

Permalink

Jinx smiles. "I'm glad to hear my idea of him's close enough to correct. Anyway! I guess we get to pick a bolthole for the night."

Permalink

"Guess so!"

Permalink

"Fortunately, this time we have the luxury of picking one of the classier ones. And I'd wanna go there anyway just to update them on Vic, honestly."

Permalink

"Mm?"

Permalink

"Hmm, I'm a little tempted to keep it a surprise... But then again, I think you might've had enough of those over the past few days. Sure you wanna know?"

Permalink

"Well now I'm really curious!"

Permalink

Jinx grins, and sets off towards the centre of town.

"I am so tempted. I'll give you a hint, it has something to do with how me and Vic met."

 

Permalink

"That's not much of a hint!"

Permalink

"Alright, alright. The person we're going to meet was one of my colleagues and now is my boss... Any closer?"

Permalink

"No."

Permalink

"And she owns an upscale establishment where we can hide for the night, and which I'd like to make sure Vic gets blacklisted from..."

Permalink

"Really, shouldn't Vic be blacklisted from most places?"

Permalink

"Well yeah, but this one especially."

Jinx seems to be heading for a nondescript, professional-looking building.

Ruava laughs and follows her there.
