"Enough," Caitlyn interjects softly. She cups Maddie's face and asks, "Who did this to you?" as she stares at the purpling bruise of her eye.
Maddie meets her gaze. "I had a match."
"A...match?" Her posture turns stiff and she looks at Vi with accusation plain on her face before she even utters a word.
Vi's hands jut out, palms up as if she has nothing to hide, and she shrugs a little. "She just needed to work off a little steam."

"Okay, mind you, I have extensive hand to hand combat experience," Maddie says as Caitlyn grabs her apothecary bag of first aid bandages and antiseptic. Vi grabs a seat on a nearby armchair and kicks her feet up. They share a brief, heated embrace during which Caitlyn nips at her scarred lip before she pulls away and they refocus on Maddie. "But I've never been in a pitfight, like Vi, and..."
