Vi absolutely thought you were cute. You were cheerful, creative, genuinely sweet. Sometimes it reminded him a little of Powder, which made Vi's heart hurt because he should never hurt someone like you. She wouldn't lose you, she couldn't.

She was afraid of losing you and it clearly became a weakness. It was like a monster that she hid in the closet, she never said or showed this weakness to you. Only in specific situations did she let this fear and overprotection escape. You were friends, it was normal for her to worry excessively about you, right?

And when you started to have the brilliant idea of visiting a magic specialist from Zaun (any kind of magic was still prohibited), she didn't react well at all. First of all, yes, she thought you were adorable with your magic. She had never seen anyone do it naturally and even though it was taboo in Piltolver, you were amazing at it and she supported you.

But damn, you looking for a magic expert that you've never seen in the place where she grew up (and hates), seemed like a warning. She didn't want you to go alone, even though you were fully capable of doing so. And she knew how impulsive and stubborn you were and that you would probably leave without warning, which made her even more anxious and suspicious.

She was lying in your bed, you were talking about random things until you blurted out the information about your new adventure and that made her look at you with intensity. She never showed her tough side to you, but now, she looked like she would be able to hold you in her embrace forever if she had to.

"You what?" She asks, as if daring you to speak. She rests her elbows on the bed to look at you better.
