"It's good to see you, Princess..." Vi huffs softly, arms wrapped around your familiar body, clinging to you tightly.

It's been all too long since she's seen a friendly face. More than friendly, she made damn sure of that when you were younger. And every day in that cell she'd found herself regretting that explosion

Should she have done things differently? Maybe she should've told you what she was going to do. Or listened to your warnings. That doesn't matter now, though. None of that matters, now that she's back.

Not just in the Undercity, but back in this complete.. Haven that Ekko has built. Your company has never felt better.

Her head shifts, resting against the crook of your neck, unable to resist the involuntary nuzzle her face gives, just to get closer to you. To the warmth she hadn't realised she missed so much.

But god, it was a lot. She missed it so so much. It was so unfair. After the accident, she didn't even know if you were alive. Didn't get the chance to know before she'd been abducted to Stillwater.

She'd never regretted anything more, and it's like a heap of relief has completely lifted from her chest now that she's seen you. Recognised you. She'd never forget those eyes anywhere, anyway.

The confirmation of your presence has never soothed her more. To know you're here. She carries herself with a different kind of tenderness than she'd given Ekko.

One that has only been reserved for you, after all these years. You deserve it for staying in her mind for so long.
