Lights! Camera! Arrival!
[ Behold the morning of the August 9th, right up front in the dining hall a large sign has been tacked up onto the wall, obscuring a few windows in its overbearingly large text. ]
FREE RELATIONSHIP ADVICE!*
*(In exchange for information about this lovely cruise!)**
**((a bargin deal!))
[ Because after all, Elysium is all set up now, with a cute table he dragged out of a closet, an hot water kettle he's set up on top with some freshly brewed tea in paper cups, some fries he dug out a resturant. He's got it all set up to kick back for a few hours, dispatch great wisdom, and maybe have his worldveiw totally rewritten. That's the exciting things about vacations, travel and people. You'll never know what might happen next!
So if you're strolling by, come say hi! God knows he'll try and wave just about everyone he can over to share a cup of tea. ]

[ It's not really a relationship she needs fixing, its more like ethically, there aren't a lot of good options to someone with a good sense of duty. ] You seem like a good person, so you're agonizing over what to do. I think that's a good sign you're not gonna just act rashly based on emotion.
I'll ask you a question, and I want you to really think about it: For what reason is the Jinx you know here still your enemy?
[ It's not judgmental, and he's not trying to guide her to any answer or another. It could be Caitlyn has a very good reason to keep her grudge, but if she can't voice one, Elysium thinks that's advice enough from a bystander like him. ]

[It was a good question to ask, and made her think for a moment. She had plenty of reasons to continue going after Jinx, but they were for crimes in Pilotover and personal vendetta for what she had done to Caitlyn's family. She recognized that she had no authority here to arrest or detain Jinx, which is why she hadn't really been acting against her but still.]
She tried to kill me, and she'll continue to do because she thinks that I brainwashed and stole her sister away from her. No matter what I do she's going to keep coming.

[ Let him be a hero of justice too, Miss Caitlyn. ]
That's no good. I mean, you didn't do that, right?
[ The sister is gone anyways, so it probably doesn't matter if she was brainwashed or not. ]
Caitlyn, I think you've been telling your story all wrong. That sister should be apologizing to you! You're out here with me talking about arrests, but aren't you in danger because of this family drama?
[ At one point in time his advice would have been to get out of dodge and say whatever you had to to get this chick off your back...but Caitlyn seems like a better person them him. ]
Stuck together, unresolved legal issues, missing sister, she thinks you're evil, and she'll come after you no matter what you do? Am I getting that right?
Jeez, miss. I don't think you've done anything wrong, basically, but in your situation the mature thing to do is to try not to escalate. Doesn't that just suck?
no subject
[Protecting others and keeping them safe.]
No, I didn't. But that isn't something that will matter to Jinx, and I don't think an apology is something that I should expect from her either.
[He was right, that it wasn't something that she could just walk away from. Gods know that her mother and others had certainly tried their best to get to. Even Vi had tried to get her to just walk away and give up. That they were oil and water.]
I think you're right, I just have to try to be a voice of reason and not escalate things. That's my responsibility I suppose given my position.
