[... it makes her angry. it makes her angry beyond everything else that Jinx is in this situation. that the Council would put her in this sort of position. because what good is rehabilitation when she's dead??
she's about to yell again when Jinx puts her hand on her shoulder. this is about her, not Vi. and she moves herself closer to wrap her arms around Jinx protectively.]
If anything happens, run to me as fast as you can. If anything happens, I'll find you. I'll drop everything and find you. I won't let you die here. I promise.
[yes, in that case it'd mean leaving Caitlyn behind if she had to.]
( listening to her words and her promise has her stomach twisting in an unusual way. it's a mix of nostalgia and affliction. it's a sickening reminder of all those broken promises, but it feels good to hear them again, too. and with the strong arm of her sister blanketing around her, and the familiar scent of her and her warmth... it's almost inevitable to fall back in.
silco wouldn't want her to trust vi so easily, but how can she not when this comfort feels so damn lovely? how can she tug away from something so intoxicating? her little sister curls further inward to her sibling, almost wanting to climb onto her lap despite she is way too old to do that sort of thing. )
... Okay. I-I'll run to you if I'm in trouble. No one else...
I even have Vander's gauntlets now. So I can protect you even better.
[that's how she was going to keep thinking about it. not as a way to remind her what had happened, but a way she could fight back when all the weird shit starts flying around again.]
( her face softens, and the overwhelming sensation of sentimentality is becoming too much to manage. mutely and carefully, she crawls onto her sister's lap to curl in somewhat of a fetal position -- head resting delicately on the other's chest. )
... He'd want you to have it and use it. He'd be mad if it's just lying around and rusting away.
[oof. this is all a lot. but the familiarity of her sister being here is so comforting right now -- as it always is. as she didn't know if she'd ever have again.]
I know. I'll use them, don't worry.
[even if she is still grappling with the memories associated with them.]

They'll all have to go through me.
