Caitlyn winces in sympathy. That... definitely sounds like Vi.

"She can be.. a little blunt." Which is , of course, putting it lightly at best. "But she's also wrong." Which wasn't new for Vi. Who had a tendency to be a little short sighted sometimes. The immediate future was all that existed and was all that would ever be. "Maybe it didn't seem like it then, but Piltover won't always be in such chaos. Things will be put to right and the people will have peace, safety."

After all, it's not like they live in Noxus or something. No one in Piltover, or even in Zaun, craves constant conflict. Not really. Not enough of them to matter anyway.

"She's good at that." There's a warmth to Caitlyn's voice, a genuine fondness. "It's easy to believe that she can do anything, isn't it?" Bigger than life really. Kind of like Jayce. So much more and when they said they'd do the impossible Caitlyn couldn't help but believe them.

For a moment Caitlyn just listens, processes. If a flush covers her cheeks at his next statement. That's her business. "Well, she's not wrong. Because I do." But hearing that her opinion was enough to sway Vi to a specific course of action? That's a little flustering. She's not even entirely sure why.

Okay, maybe she is, in fact, entirely sure why, but it's not something she wants to dwell on right now. Too embarrassing.

"Given a chance, I think you'd get along. If things weren't like they were." Or at least she sure hopes so. It'd be awful miserable for her if they don't.

"I didn't mean you. Well, not just you anyway. But it's appreciated." That's right. She can beat him up. Remember that! She might be youngest, but she's only slightly littler now. Something her mother might have bemoaned privately, her tall, lanky daughter who'd rather shoot things than politic.

"And you will. A nice long one at that. We'll make it happen." Nope. No dark thoughts allowed. He'd recover, they'd have a long time to be all sorts of sappy and in love and gross about it. Maybe even enough to chase Caitlyn out into an apartment of her own to get away from it.
