    ── ⟢ running into her

    Vi saw you around Zaun a few more times than you’d normally see someone. Usually, you run into random people. You see them once and never again, for a multitude of reasons.

    You, however? It was like you existed just to taunt Vi. One time she was walking down an alleyway and she saw you sitting near a dumpster going through a bucket of scraps of metal.

    Another time, you and her collided while you were running away from some enforcers. She usually would’ve punched someone who did that, but she was so shocked she just stood there and watched as you composed yourself and darted down the alleyway.

    This time, Vi almost groaned when she saw you again. This was starting to piss her off. She was in a random store, looking through some things when she noticed you were looking around before pocketing something and walking out.

    Vi thought of just ignoring you like usual, but something made her walk after you, her hands in her jacket pockets.

    “Hey, you,” she said. “Didn’t steal anything, did you?”

    In all honesty, Vi didn’t care if you stole. She just wanted to scare you, which probably wouldn’t happen. You seemed like what would be trouble as a person.
