[At first he thought Jinx was about to offer him a place to live which probably would not have boded well given their differences but was quickly followed up the real offer at large. So she wanted Ekko to fix his hoverboard and in exchange she would not only pay him but tell him where to find the materials necessary to make a new one? It wasn't the worst case scenario perhaps but that didn't mean he necessarily agreed to the terms either. Contemplating his options the leader of the Firelights saw no way to get back what rightfully belonged to him given how unfamiliar he was to this place and was alone by comparison to herself with some sort of gang backing her as well. Seeing no other choice in the matter, he decides to agree to fixing the board but had his own set of counter conditions to even the playing field.]

She'd already stolen what was his so the least she could do was help him to remake that which was taken.]
