[A confused glare initially strikes over his features at the mentioning of calling or writing to him when she was ready, but just how exactly did she mean to reach him? Was there some sort of tube system like in Zaun where they could communicate with one another? No one had really explained to him the nature of the tablets and their capabilities yet so he was at a loss.]
Yeah sure you just give me a 'call' whenever you're done getting into trouble...Which is likely never.
[Some things never change, still that mocking girl he grew fond of all those years ago teasing him without remorse, Ekko rolling his eyes as an exasperated sigh leaves his parted lips. Shaking his head idly to himself when Jinx turns on the heel of her boot to depart he thought she would leave things at that with her last taunt but was caught off guard at the sentimental send off. After all this time she had remembered something so trivial in the grand scheme of things such as his birthday? But how? It had been over half a decade or so since they last celebrated their time of births and thought she would have forgotten by now all things considered that have changed between them. Sure he remembered hers as well but he was just a tad more adjusted by comparison but maybe deep down she really did still care for him if only just a little.]
Can't believe she actually remembers that...Powder.
[Muttering the words quietly under his breath using her real name instead of the self appointed one she had taken up in the wake of Vander's demise on top of everything else that happened on that fateful night she had been abducted by the tyrant 'father' that now ruled over Zaun unjustly. Brows furrowed in anguish as he watched her walk away from him rather than jetting off on the hoverboard. At least it seemed like she was taking his heed of caution seriously, all in all Ekko thankful for that much.
He didn't try to stop her this time around as their business had been concluded, but he definitely felt as though Jinx was not the same person he'd last met back home. She still held that patented over eccentric attitude the majority of the time but there were glimpses of that reasonable little girl he'd known all those years ago. Here's hoping she can be trusted after all and doesn't leave him in the dust, laughing at his misfortunes whilst she gallivanted on blissfully.]
