[it's always something or another when they say they want to do something. something gets blown up, people go insane, their memories get re-written... it's always so much. and yet, especially now, she doesn't know if she'd trade it for home. to have both Caitlyn and Jinx here? to be able to spend time with her little sister without all the baggage of home?
in a way, she feels lucky.
she's wearing swim trunks and a sports bra looking top as she gets to the beach, cooler in hand as she kicks off her flip-flops and sits down next to her sister.]
Since when are you on time?
[she says, also never really having the best time with being on time...
and then:]
Nice haircut.

Since I knew I was going to hang out with my biggest hero today.
[she grins her way as she applies one last bit of sunscreen she can reach herself, then tosses the bottle to her sister. jinx pivots in her seat to expose vi her back, a way of asking her to rub the sunblock on her back.]
Thanks! Hair was getting heavy and I wanted to lay off all the hair products.
[she starts to apply the sunscreen to Jinx's back though, low-key feeling Some Kind Of Way about her comment. she really... really wasn't hero material, but knowing Jinx thought of her that way touched her.]
You go for the short hair while I grow mine out. Always destined to be opposites, huh?
[she does... have longer hair than Jinx now, doesn't she?]
[she agrees then once vi is done coating her back with sunscreen, she does the most annoying thing and flops back onto her sister's lap. it's possibly irritating because now her legs will feel the sticky and oily substance of the cream from her back.]
You think the lard will wind up in this dump? He'll show everyone what real cooking is.
[Vi just sighs as Jinx flops on her, but starts applying sunscreen to herself.]
Oh, you just wanted to get that shit on me...
[she doesn't sound or look like she actually minds it at all, because of course she doesn't. every moment that she gets to spend with her little sister means worlds to her, and she knows Jinx doesn't even know it.]
It'd be too easy if he showed up here. Maybe it's a form of punishment in of itself to be stuck here without his food.
[she sticks her tongue out as a rebuttal, but then watches her sister apply the sunscreen. every so often, she pokes a spot on vi's skin to show which area that still needs to be covered.]
Yeaaah, guess you're right. We're stuck here while Ekko gets to hog it all for himself. Lucky bastard.
[or maybe not so lucky seeing he is back in runeterra all by his lonesome without the two of them. but the boy savior has hemidinger (ha) and his firelights, so... he should be in good company.]
[she was going to take fix those spots, honest. don't be a mother hen to the mother hen!
she looks away at the mention of Ekko, and sighs as she finishes applying the product.]
Well, he's gotta have something good back at home. He was kind of... isolating a bit, after everything.
[not that she could blame him. he probably felt like he'd lost everyone at that point, minus her, who had Caitlyn. maybe made him feel more alone in some respects, watching them together.]
[as vi looks away, jinx does too to gaze down at the sand crystals and how still it is. she forces herself to shrug nonchalantly about the topic she brought up on her own, and she says with a lack of care in her tone: ]
He'll bounce back. He'll buzz around like he always does, then he'll nail the girl of his dreams, have a big family, and live happily ever after in no time.
[and she'll be happy for him when that moment comes for him, even if she desperately wishes she could be that girl. but they're not meant to be; the universe proved that way more than she could probably count in two hands.]
[she starts to rake her fingers through the sand now too, appreciating the softness of it under her skin. something she never thought she'd actually see back home.]
He's pretty stuck on someone. Been stuck on her for better or for much worse, I think.

Not exactly a hero, Jinx.
[she starts to apply the sunscreen to Jinx's back though, low-key feeling Some Kind Of Way about her comment. she really... really wasn't hero material, but knowing Jinx thought of her that way touched her.]

Hey, doing the same shtick gets boring! And we do have a few things in common.
[to pled her case, she points over to the ocean across from them.]
We love to eat the little rascals out there. The juicier, the better. WITH a dash of slime.
no subject
[she says it with a sort of amused laugh though.
but she watches where her little sister points and nods, tilting her head.]
The slimier the better. Jericho's was the first place I went to when I got out of prison, did I ever tell you that? He always had the best shit.

[she forces a chuckle as she twists from below her sister, now facing her stomach, but her eyes trail up to see vi's somber expression.]
I'm a mess. And he doesn't deserve to be with messes. ... You don't either.
