[ He knows he's a Zaunite, everything they have is from sheer determination, and luck? Luck has so little do to with anything. He'd consider himself unlucky, but like most, disbelieving in it is easier, and more automatic than simply discarding it. ]
You know I am a careful man. I don't intend to make this easy.
[ curb your enthusiasm theme starts playing in the background. ]
[ Yeah, honestly. Tezcatlipoca makes a Face™️ like he can hear it, but this is also typical Silco too. ]
Sure, but luck doesn't have anything to do with being careful. Or, puttin' it another way, harder to be careful if you lack situational awareness. Not sayin' that as a dig against you, mean more that we just never know what kinda kaiju is around the corner. Shit like that.
[ Plus, though he won't bring it up, he's also noticed that Silco is just very stubborn about his view of the world. The fact that things might not fit into his understanding is inconceivable, as the whole mess with his (former) demon shows. Tezcatlipoca waves a hand to dismiss the topic, but also to dissipate some of the smoke that lingers close to him. ]
...Anyways. Said my piece, so no need to just keep reiterating it. [ He gestures towards Silco's joint lightly. ] Feeling a little more relaxed now, though?
[ Tezca, unsurprisingly, has more awareness than Silco does about himself. He's... well. It's going to take a lot to get him to experience a modicum of self-awareness, so he's 100% correct, even if Silco would say otherwise.
Because of course he would.
He inhaled, and blew out the thick plume of smoke. ]
Hm.
[ He's still stressed, fretting, worried, but at least there's a relaxed pressure in the back of his head, like a beam holding up the cascade of thoughts, stresses, and everything else he has. It's at least enough that he's not winding himself up, putting together plans and little things that will take an elaborate (and likely deadly for himself) turn if he isn't careful.
He closed one eye, but the other is still focused on Tezca. ]

I suppose I am. It's appreciated, Tezca.
