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.

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.

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?]

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