As it ripped through my body, sure it's made me faster and stronger but it's a curse too."

Vi suddenly speaks up, maybe opening up a little or just wanting to speak about it when she never could.

"Didn't have a choice about the shimmer, I was on deaths door. I was brought to a crazed doctor, pumped full of shiver while awake barely clinging to life. Never felt such pain before

Those shimmer colored eyes were a sight, along with the occasional appearance of pink veins. The drug that saved her life yet became a curse in itself, the brawler seems so soft like this with her guard lowered.

Vi adds small amount of sugar and cream, then picks up the cup taking a slow sip enjoying the flavor. Eyes lingering on Caitlyn for a moment before looking back to her book as she started to read, could get used to such peace.

"You can stay if you wish, tea? Sure I'll take some whatever you recommend I have little knowledge on teas."

Vi gets comfortable as she opens up to the beginning of the book, feeling relaxed for once in a long time.

Vi stepped inside her pupils nearly go wide at the sheer amount of books, slowly stepping over to the bookcases running fingers along the spines of the books. A softer side to the shimmer brawler, taking a book on mechanics and sitting down with it.

" Oh shit, a whole library? Count me in"

Vi smirked as she started following Caitlyn now, arms lowered. No doubts in her mind that the commander is one gorgeous woman, though she tries to focus on 'behaving'.

" Got books? I do like to read, never had many growing up but when I did get a book I read it all. "

Vi stretches out her arms then rests both hands behind back of her head, shirt hiking up slightly showing hint of a pink happy trail.

Vi steps back out and walks over to Caitlyn wearing the fresh clothing now, running a hand through her hair. Well the clothing certainly fit her muscular body well, arms folded as she looked towards Caitlyn.

" Yeah they fit well enough, comfortable. "

Vi's attention went back to Caitlyn seeing the fresh clothing, appreciating the gestures then speaks up.

"Thanks, so your family is all matriarchal huh? Badass."

A chuckle escapes her lips as she takes the clothing into her hands, then finds the nearest bathroom to change into.

''I don't blame them, I'm a stranger from Zaun in their own home but ill be very polite to them.''

Vi winked then not sure if she should follow or not, just steps into the living room. Running her hand along the couch, then looks over the portraits of past kiramman matriarchs.

"The kirmman estate, now this is a sight.."

Vi stares at the huge mansion before her for a moment, she's used to her old apartment now this is a home if she's ever seen one. Collecting herself she greets the dogs with a smile, then continues to follow Caitlyn into the building. Taking off her boots setting them aside

Vi looks around, she's been up topside a few times before of course. But still the fresh air is always nice, the clean buildings and no pollution filling her lungs. Walking along with Caitlyn, a little on edge a habit that came from being in survival mode for most of her life.

"I figured as much I don't blame ya, trust has to build from somewheres."

Vi can be reasonable it seems, standing up now as she steps towards the door. Felt like she was stepping out into a new chapter in her life, what that chapter would entail? She didn't fully know.

Flashing her a lop sided smirk as she looked to caitlyn, she wouldn't cause too much trouble not for the one person who seemed to give enough of a damn to help her.

" Hmm I suppose I can do that, the best behavior I can muster.~"

The finger brushing along her lip sends a shiver down the brawlers lips.

"Yeah, I'll stay with you.~"

"We got separated years ago, the night everything fell apart. She's my only family left, you can have all the information you want I just wanna be able to see her again."

Vi looked up at Caitlyn with those pink hues, though changed they're still puppy like. Feeling

Got a good head on ya, maybe could look for anyone with name Powder? She's my...little sister."

Protected? That's a foreign word to her, usually being the protector than the one being protected. Tapping her fingers against the table before glancing over to Caitlyn.

"I know I'm no spot to ask of anything, I've been looking for someone important to me for a long time. You seem like

"𝓝𝓸 𝓸𝓷𝓮 𝓭𝓮𝓼𝓮𝓻𝓿𝓮𝓼 𝓽𝓸 𝓵𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓲𝓷 𝓯𝓮𝓪𝓻. 𝓝𝓸𝓽 𝔀𝓱𝓮𝓷 𝔀𝓮 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓹𝓸𝔀𝓮𝓻 𝓽𝓸 𝓼𝓽𝓸𝓹 𝓲𝓽."

♡ + ⇄

"Yeah, he's behind it all.."

Her voice softer now as she starts to eat at the food provided, feeling conflicted now.

Vi felt a sting at the word 'pawn' something that lingered in her mind over the years, sure she was taken in by Silco when she lost it all. But was it ever for good intentions? Just to be the muscle, the right hand that brings violence. Hell it's the reason her body is filled with shimmer

In her words and that kindness, warmth is something Vi had chased for a long time now.

"I've never been the brains of the operations, the leader, I did make sure things ran smoothly. All that credit can goes towards Silco the industrialist, one of the chembarons that reside in Zaun. "

Vi surprises herself by giving such information, but Caitlyn seems sincere

Vi didn't have to be in the pits but sometimes she needed to blow off some steam, though she's quite the vicious fighter thanks to the shimmer in her system. Fists flying out in quick succession, sickening sounds of fist against flesh a near feral look on the brawlers face.

Unfortunately can't control what everyone does. Some people are just assholes, uh...thanks.."

Oh Vi's mind is a mess right now, being treated so gently and with kindness, the feeling of Caitlyn's thumb rubbing against her cheek. The hatred for topside now colliding with growing feelings within her heart.

"Damn, fiesty one huh? I like that...you're okay though,

" Heh, don't think your warden liked me very much. "

A light chuckle escaped her lips, pink hues keeping their gaze on Caitlyn's face. Not expecting the gentle touch, why did her heart skip a beat? Focus Vi.
