Oh, you didn't mean to try and kill me? So sorry, what an accident. [ Vander lets him go, backs up from him, and Silco very quickly rearms himself, before he tucked it someplace closer to his hand, and straightened his clothing. Here he was again, losing his mettle before he could do anything else. As always.
Once, he'd goaded him into letting that beast out again. Here, he can't do it. Silco doesn't want to die, but he also hates this. Seeing him cowed and cowering, backing off as quick as he starts the fight. He should put an end to him right now, but who knew if that would work. They've already brought the both of them back from the dead. Could they do it again? It stayed him from starting the fight anew, even though he was tempted. ]
I didn't walk away, Vander, I escaped with my life. I knew you were looking for me β trying to finish the job you couldn't the first time, so of course I kept out. It's nothing like her.
[ Silco had gone to ground after, squirreling himself away, secreting to those dark parts of the fissures where the people most forgotten by society had been. Where he could recuperate, and recover. Where he could build a base of operations, build a gang with those society didn't care to look for. Battery and assault, information brokering and drugs, none of it was off limits, and it's how he was able to build enough capital to move forward.
Then, of course, he'd met the doctor, who'd been curious about his condition, and what he could do with it. ]
All I did with Jinx, is make those her strengths. Something you, I will point out, were never able to do.
[ He doesn't dare say the words. Her daughter, he says, Silco thinks my daughter, but he doesn't dare speak that out loud. Not into the open air, where he could get caught. Where anyone can here, where Vander can learn his deepest secret.

He doesn't dare.
He Can't. He holds it close, like a guard. ]
