Vi didn't understand how…. child Caitlyn came about. She half wodnered if the Arcane was being loopy, how to get her Caitlyn back. Janna be damn, but for now she had to take care of her and keep an eye on her til someone figured this out. Heimerdinger and Ekko were busy knee deep in this science-y stuff.
"Um… yeah?" Vi said, a little awkwardly and nodded her head. "Right there, and Caitlyn.. or well.. you? Or… oh this is going to break my head," Vi huffed and rubbed the side of her temple as she headed toward the garage.
"You surely ask a lot of questions. Actually, your older self ask a lot of questions, so that's not new. Yes, I'm your partner. Yes, you can be bossy, and its hella se--- never mind. And I like to think we protect each other, and…. should I even be talking about Stillwater to you? Or… okay…" Vi rubbed her face, taking a breath. Nope, not a good conversation, there was no way she was going to tell her how amazing she was as a partner or her mate.
But vi also couldn't help it, letting this young version of her mate talk over and over. And Vi actively listened, even if she never really had a chance to speak. Her hands nimbly working on the motorcycle, while Caitlyn past her tools.
It was quite adorable really, and Vi would make sure to tease the hell out of Caitlyn once hse was back to her older self.
That first answer caused her to huff, she didn't ask a lot!...she asked just enough. Who wouldn't when they can talk to someone from the quite literal future? She could also tell that this 'Vi' was just as lost as she was as to how this happened, one moment she was in Jayce's lab watching her brother work and then...
"Stillwater?" The rest of the answers seemed if unflattering, somewhat expected. However that last part (as well as the slip Caitlyn caught where her partner almost called her future self sexy) did cause her some doubts, leaving hert to stay in place and think for a while.
"Am I...is future me, I mean, taking advantage of you?" Having so few pieces of the puzzle, specially ones that would shift her life violently in different directions, her brain reached a conclusion which she didn't like. "Taken from Stillwater, a Zaunite, you live here, you work for me..."
"Did I become everything I hate?" Her tone was so low and gentle ,was barely a whisper...yet iut carried so much emotion in it.
