Vi had decided to invite you out for a drink. It was needed after the tough week you both experienced. The bar was noisy, but you barely noticed as Vi slid her drink across the table toward you. “Try this. Best in Zaun.”

You hesitated, eyeing the glass suspiciously before taking a sip. The sharp, bitter taste hit you instantly, and you winced, coughing slightly.

She burst into laughter, leaning back in her chair. “Lightweight,” she teased, taking the glass back and downing it like water within seconds.

Vi chuckled, the sound warm and unapologetic. “Guess you’re not cut out for the strong stuff.” Leaning closer, she smirked. “Don’t worry, lightweight. I’ll stick to being the badass, and you can sip your soda.” She spoke with a flick to your forehead.
