What weaves between

"What's The lesson I'm teaching you with this." Iyra shook a can of spray paint.

"Uh... How to deface property?" Jinx tilted her head.

"Mm... no." Iyra smirked.

"More like the world out there is what we make it... snd some people choose not to feel all that you do... they bury it down....but what happens when you press the spray button....All that trapped paint or trapped feelings they all come out.. Now a can spraying on its own would just result in a puddle.
No.... Little blue... the paint in a puddle is boring no... but when you place the bottle in the hands of another it can be harnessed ,controlled, and guided...You are young you've experienced more tragedy than you ever should have.

It's up to you how you Harness that pain

There are two types of people;
People who have experienced the worst of all hurts  and choose to make sure that nobody else has the same experiences.

And those who believe since they went through it others should have to as well.
You hold your can ....

Oh and second lesson if you are going to deface property don't get caught."
Iyra chuckled

"So I was close ...?" Jinx tilted her head.

"Mmm... let's agree to disagree Hmm.."

"She likes you..." Silco noted waiting at the door... arms crossed.

"... I was under the impression that you did too... that perhaps ,and this thought is out there perhaps I am a likable person." Iyra raised an eyebrow..

"I'm still not convinced you aren't a vampire." Jinx sighed. "You can be a likable vampire though."

Silco just doubled over laughing at this...

Jinx running in the house.... Iyra pausing to whisper in his ear "Asshole."

Which made him laugh harder.

"Jinx I get you want to go in but please don't accidentally body slam The Who knows how old ceramics.Thanks." Veronica corrected.

"I still can't believe you managed to get control of Vander's old bar ...it's quite the play. But then again you used to kick both our asses at chess. So I'm guessing knowing you ,you are going to want to make stylistic changes..."Iyra smirked .

"Obviously... But ... there is something you could do to help me something that wouldn't put you in harms way...." Silco offered.

"Oo so your saying... you need me to help with work stuff, how many days did having me not involved with your work last." Iyra teased.

"I don't think it would need to be said... I always need you. However, you still aren't getting involved with any of my less honorable work...
Iyra... Do you know what it's like to love you?
It's fucking terrifying ... because loving you comes with the inherent risk of loosing you... Now with my position as a literal crime lord... It makes the worst things I can imagine into possibilities or even likelihood's. So if I did treat you like you deserved brought you to the work with me....
Showed you off... Made how far I'd go for you obvious, if I was obvious about how you are the #1 Most important person in my life.... You would also be the #1 Target for anyone looking to hurt me.

I've only seen you get hurt severely once on my behalf... I'm making damn sure it doesn't happen again. I couldn't help ,but face the probability you could've died because of me. The facts you were hurt that badly ,because of healing me and fighting back.
You may be one of the only people I've ever trusted the one person I'm certain is competent enough to finish any job.... Which is much rarer than it should be... Even with all of the reasons I know you could defend yourself and fight on you're own...
All it would take would be a split second... one bullet... some quiet poison... a stab in the back while you're focusing on doing a job correctly.
