That's what I'm worried about, it will be winter before we know it and many still needs their homes repair.
(Her leg starts bouncing sentmindedly, something she does while feeling anxious.
He gets her attention, snapping her out of her anxious legs bouncing.)
A break
(C)
ekko will appreciate that, i know he will. the more help they can get, the better. people should be back in their homes before the cold hits.
( he smiles, grateful that she's trying in her own way to help. ) well, i was going to ask if you wanted to come down and help, but โ
Which won't be an easy task, I understand they're reluctant to accept help but I personally have ordered building materials be set aside should Zaun need them.
(Caitlyn is aware of that too, it weighs heavy on her mind.
It's good that he's helping.)
Unfortunately so, but
(C)
there's building still in ruins. ekko wants to try and fix them up before winter comes, so there's tons of work to be done.
( far more than he realised, truly. but he's more than happy to be out there actually doing something. ) tedious work then, huh? your afternoon is free?
(Caitlyn sits back down after giving Vi his tea, talking a sip from her own while listening to the other speak.)
That sounds like a good idea, Zaun is still in need of much repair after the damage it suffered.
Me? I mostly have meetings until the afternoon.
( grateful smile directed her way as he takes the cup of tea and nestles it between his hands. exhaling softly over the hot liquid before he sips at it. )
today? hm. . not sure. i might see if ekko needs any help, but other than that, no plans. what about you?
(Nodding and smiling, she retrieves an extra cup and pours tea in it for Vi.
Carefully setting on a plate and passing it over to him.)
Do have any plans for today?
(She asks, making pleasant, friendly conversation.)
Caitlyn remembers that too, how could she not?
Unable to see out of one eye and a wound badly bleeding from the knife.
It wasn't a pleasant experience at all.
"Thank you, Vi. I'm getting better at navigating with just one eye each day.
You really think so?"
subtle twitch of his lips. a frown, as he glances over the scar of her eye. he still remembers so vividly finding her after the battle, covered in blood.
" i know it hasn't been easy, but you're tough. plus, the eyepatch does make you look bad-ass. "
Caitlyn nods, focused and listening. Vi is still an important person in her life after all.
"I know how you feel, I've been adjusting to, well, everything. Mostly the fact that I only have one eye now."
She smiles a little wider, relived to hear that.
Taking a seat across from him now.
"You're welcome, Vi. I'm glad it does.
How are you? Aside from your headache."
