Jesse snorted.
"Just keep your hand away from him. He's taken to sucking on metal." A car drove by then, kicking up a bit of dirt and, frighteningly enough, a shard or three of glass. The infant was too high up to be harmed, but Jesse's arm had begun bleeding suddenly and there was a small fleck of shiny green embedded in his flesh.
He gave no reaction.

"Eh, he couldn't do too much damage to it. I made it pretty tough." She said, wiggling the fingers at him. She jumped slightly when the car drove by, turning to watch it go past. When she turned back towards Jesse, she noticed the glass in his arm.
"Ouch!" She hissed, leaning over to look at it. "Ouch. Just give me a minute, I'll get that out for you-" She patted her pockets, apparently looking for something to pull the glass out of his arm with.

"Get what?" Jesse asked, suddenly looking very confused. Sy fussed at having the chain taken away from him.
"Ooooh..." the man laughed slightly as he spotted teh glass and blood. He simply grabbed the shard with his fingers, coaxing more blood from his fingertips, and threw it to the ground, "Nah, I'm fine."

Still fumbling with her pockets, Eri finally pulled out a handkerchief and pressed it to his arm. "Sorry. I don't have any band aids with me today. Left my packrat bag at home." She dabbed at the wound a few more times before apparently being satisfied that his arm wasn't going to fall off.
"Sorry," She laughed at Sy, tickling his stomach again with her metal hand. "I kinda freak out when I see people getting hurt."

Silas giggled and grabbed at the metal hand. Jesse, on the other hand, simply shrugged.
"Nah, I'm glad you noticed. I probably wouldn't have figured it out for days otherwise."

Smiling at the baby, Eri wiggled her fingers at him. "Soo cute." She mumbled to him.
"Ouch." She turned her head to look up at Jesse. "Big tough guy, huh?"

"Hah. I wish," Jesse said, looking down at the infant fondly, "I can't feel pain. It's a genetic disorder. Damned if I can remember the name, though."
"Nmah!"

"I've heard of that. You have to be on watch all the time." She looked at his hand before looking back up at his face. "Is that how you lost the finger?"
Smiling at Sy, she tickled his stomach again before creeping up and bopping his nose with her index finger.

Sy was silent for a moment, and then gave a loud "BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!". Jesse laughed richly, waiting for the sound to stop before he answered Erishi's question.
"No, that's how I lost the eye. Me an' a man got in a bit of a tussle. 'Do that again an' I bite it off,' says he. So he did."

Eri laughed at Sy's exclamation, wiggling her fingers again. He was a cute one.
"Interesting. Sounds like you lead quite the interesting life."

"Pbbbbblth."
"Sure, I guess you could say that," Jesse nodded and then added, "I think we should prob'ly be on our way. The boys'll be wanting their booze. It was nice to meet yah though, Miss."

"Wouldn't wanna keep men from their booze. Nice to meet you too, Jesse. You two take care, now." She blew a kiss at the babe and gave the man a smile.

Jesse grinned back before slipping Sy into his would-be carseat, climbing in himself, and driving away once Erishi had moved. Hey, maybe having a kid wouldn't be so bad, if it got him attention like that.
