❝ I know - you'd never lie to me ❞ , she believed it too - Caitlyn would never question Vi's truth , but learning to accept those positive things about herself - whilst her mind still swirled with negativity - was not something she was ready to face. So it was easier - to just not hear those things as all , even from the person who meant them the most.
Caitlyn would ensure that the town gave Vi the respect she deserved , even if it took time to get used to it , she would break down the ‘us and them’ stigma. They could be as one.
Her clothes fully discarded , Caitlyn reached out for Vi's hand to help her into the tub , the stab wound among her other war injuries from Ambessa had healed in the best way the could , but the lasting effect on her mobility from having her leg trampled on , was always a reminder that she wasn't the same Caitlyn anymore.
❝ it's just right ❞ , she smiled , sinking into the water - surrounded by bubbles. Perhaps she'd have to give Vi a measuring cup next time - but for now the enforcer really didn't care. The aroma of lavender and jasmine working in the air to calm her. She felt at ease having Vi in the room with her , since Jinx had kidnapped her from the shower - Caitlyn was often on edge when she was alone , and while she'd hate to admit it , she was still in a vulnerable place.
