[ jayce considers that, and not even for long— he doesn't even need to, and clearly accepts it. ]
More or less.
[ he held nothing personal to jinx, even if he could. he's simply far more aware between the two them, it seems. what she does to him, he won't throw it back to her twofold. never had jayce made a habit of grudges, and he sure as hell isn't going to keep one now.
they were victims of circumstance, and jayce was the council's perfect scapegoat. ]
On a personal level, I'm curious about the details, but—[ He lets it hang there, a spacious acknowledgement that he isn't expecting Jayce to pony that up just to satiate his curiosity. It'll just be something he tucks away for later, a puzzle to consider. ]
Thanks. For clearing all that up. I'm sure having it dredged to surface was the last thing you wanted to deal with on top of everything else.
[ a puzzle for some other time, maybe. jayce appreciates the honest answer as much as the space given. it was the right thing to do for his mental strain right now. ]
It's nothing that won't pass. [ if he, you know, ignores it, it'll be fine. he hopes. you can't really trust jinx to be readable. ] We can't afford to point fingers here for long. Just have to let it blow over, now.
[ Jinx doesn't seem the sort to simply let go of something, even if Jayce is willing to drop the whole matter. ] Dunno, some people just wanna burn it all down, consequences be damned. For everyone's sake, though, hope your assessment is right.
