That's not a bad start. It's important when apologizing not to deflect the blame. So don't say things like "I'm sorry you made me do this." or "I'm sorry but you did this first". This makes the apology feel insincere, making it seem like the blame is being pushed to the other person.
[She's almost slightly impressed, that Jinx is starting strong? But she's not convinced this is going to continue to go well.]
So, you could continue that with something like "when you and Vi killed each other, it made me feel..." and be honest with him, about how you felt. He won't know how much he hurt you, unless you tell him.
That's very good, actually. Direct, and to the point.
[And to think, at one point in time, she thought Jinx was beyond help or saving. Vi really had been right, those many months ago. She isn't going to be best friends with her, or even necessarily like her, but she has more pity for the girl than she did long ago.]
You could work on the wording, a little. Maybe "it made me feel like you didn't care how it would affect me?"
Fair enough. Keep the wording however you like. [If it was anyone but Jinx and Silco, it would probably matter more but. Whatever. She's not going to argue. It certainly would do no good.]
[ she runs her tongue along her upper front teeth again, mulling over pretty seriously about the woman's question. ]
I dunno. Guess it depends on how he takes what I said first. If he'll give me that stern dad voice or that "Hmm"-I understand-and-now-I'm-going-to-flip-over-my-paper-work-and-keep-writing voice.
If he doesn't take it like that, then what? Do you think he might try to argue? Defend his position?
[Just trying to think outside of the box. As much as she's stalked Silco, she doesn't actually know him that well to predict how he might react to Jinx standing her ground with him. But she knows he loves her, in his twisted way. Surely he would listen when she came to him, upset.]

"When you and Vi killed each other, it made me feel you didn't consider how I would take it"?
[ her eyebrows raise as she turns her head once more to the woman, seeking if what she added on was an improvement or was all wrong.]

cw: joking about unaliving herself.........
[ her tone now sinking back to its cynical edge, while rolling her eyes to glance up to their night sky above them. ]
If I change my wording, I'll sound more like a Pilitie and I would rather swallow a bomb and have it implode in me before I ever stoop that low.

Is there anything else you want to say to him?

[ she says this, but there's a glimmer of affection behind it. ]
