The scale slides now. So I'd say we're looking at anywhere from a five to an eight.

And that's just between me and Jinx.

[the rest of it? god. who knows? it depends if it's the ...same cait. after all, she'd come and gone before, and another her had been here for months. jinx, too.]

[he swaps over to voice, the sigh in his tone.]

I thought you could do with the warning if you hadn't known already. I've invited her to stay with me and Palamedes.

I hope you and all your stubbornness know I will help where I can, if you need it. Even if it's simply terrible bars again.

Thanks for the heads up. It's not that I don't want to see her, it's---

[there's no other way to really explain it.]

---it's complicated. And maybe, yeah. It might involve bars. Thank you for showing her kindne---

---ugh. Not that you aren't kind, but I know she's in good hands. Not that she's not compete---

It just really sucks that she sticks her neck out for me, saves my life at least twice and I'm not even in a position to offer her a place on a couch. In a house with more than enough couches.

I drew the line in the sand and now I have to ...stand behind it.

[in this case? 'it's complicated' is very on point.]

Vi- [just a faint, tired amusement at the fumbling despite it all.] It's fine. She is like a sister to Jayce, I never knew her well but that fact is more than enough for me to want to protect her in what ways I can. Even if she can handle it herself, I am sure.

For what it is worth I think you are doing the right thing, at the very least in standing by your decisions. A situation such as this was never going to be easy, and I feel I know barely half of it.

[it is. she hates it.and she sighs out that hate in a defeated, frustrated exhale of fuck.]

I'm sure she'll fill you in. She won't have all the story, either, but she won't lie.

[and now she'll tell jinx. what could ...go ...wrong?]

No, Caitlyn has never struck me as the type to fabricate. She may be the only honest enforcer I've ever seen.

[a soft sigh.] I am serious, come to me if you need something. Be well, Vi.
