the first fight with vi is the one sevika takes seriously. she vastly underestimated vi, since itโd been many, many years since sevika had seem them, but it was the only time she really put in effort to kill vi. itโs before silco or jinx (to her knowledge) know that vi is alive, and really the one chance she gets for an opportunity to kill vi without any repercussions. jinx would have been upset, yeah, but they wouldnโt have had time to process that vi was actually alive, let alone looking for them. if sevika played her cards right she could have even kept it a secret from jinx. but vi getting away wasnโt part of the plan, neither was caitlyn, so she had to flee before she got the chance to actually, finally, get rid of them.ย
the fight at the last drop was more for fun and the principle of the thing while also keeping appearances and her reputation up.
