    Summary

    The stands grew riotous, the shouts deafening as the last fight of the night approached. Jinx looked down at the betting slip in her hand again. She had thought it stupid the first time she came. Gambling was Sevika’s chosen poison, not hers. She had only wanted to take a look, maybe stay a few minutes to catch the gory details, and leave before anyone noticed she had been there in the first place. "You’ll get your money’s worth and then some. She’s really good!" Curious, she had stayed longer than she had planned. At the end of the night, Jinx had gotten her money’s worth and then some, and she had returned to the mineshaft and laid down next to Isha with a strange sentiment blooming in her chest. Half-pride, half-exhilaration, all tinged in nostalgia and yearning for things she no longer had, dead and gone for years. Isha had noticed and had burrowed into Jinx’s arms, trying to chase away the shadows Jinx knew had lingered in her eyes.

    She returned the next night and the one after, and the ones that followed, betting slip in hand and pink eyes searching the pit for her sister.

    Summary

    “How’s your hand?”

    Jinx looked up at Sevika, then down at her wounded hand. “It doesn’t bleed anymore. Still can’t move it right, though.” Her expression shifted as a thought seemed to cross her mind, her lips twisting into a sneer. She looked at Sevika head-on. “If you hadn’t blown the place to smithereens, maybe I could’ve salvaged it.”

    Jinx’s words took a second too long to sink in, and Sevika scowled in disgust when they finally did. “What the hell for?”

    Jinx shrugged and extended her arm, wiggling its four remaining digits like some alien, void-spat creature. “Could’ve tried stapling it back on.”

    “If I hadn’t blown the place to smithereens, you’d be dead.”

    Or, Jinx and Sevika attempt to navigate their new partnership... and each other.
