"I'll keep that in mind." Maybe it'll be a present one day. Compliment vouchers. Good for one sincere compliment of Caitlyn's choice when he wants one. Though when he needs them, she's usually pretty good at being there. Because being there for him is kind of her thing. Has sat in the rain for hours to prove it.
It's something Caitlyn knows all too well. Jayce's issue with moderation, more or less. But as he's said, it's not her place to keep him from making mistakes. Plus, she has her own issues too so it's not like she's Little Miss Perfect or anything.
"I know the feeling. All too well." That feeling of helplessness. The accompanying anger, yes she's all familiar with them as of late. It's part of what drove her to the undercity in the first place. Forsaking her job, her oath in the search of answers and the truth. Consequences be damned. It's only luck that her excursion doesn't seem to have had the terrible outcome of Jayce's... yet. Though, perhaps the events recently are partially her fault. For pushing. For going. But... well, that's the past and it's not like she can really tell here.
"Sometimes forgiveness comes with time. You might not be ready now. But maybe one day. No one said healing was a quick process." And if they did, they were lying.
"You're right, it's not and I don't particularly want it to be." Because that'd definitely impact their relationship and dynamic. Something she's pretty happy with how it is already. "It goes both ways. I can be there for you and you can do the same in return, but we can't live each others lives for each other."
Which is a good thing, because they'd have both picked very different lives for each other. That were probably comp het even and how weird would that be?
"And as long as I'm here or there, you'll always have me. Even if we're not physically together." A bond like theirs isn't something to be hampered by something as insignificant as time or space after all.
She winces slightly in commiseration at those words. The good old 'I decided this for your own good' kind of thing. But at least this one was a little more understandable.
"I know what it's like when people decide things for you, even if they think it's for your own good." A pause, a small twist of her lips. "Maybe especially so then." After all before Vi it was Jayce and her mother. Often trying to make the choices for her. Keep her from the dangerous things and the like.
"I'm glad you got another chance, despite his initial reservations."
Honestly, she's a little envious of this. That they got this second chance. Maybe one day she'd get to have one too. Oil and Water her bum! Just let her see Vi again, she'd tell her what for!
