        "  quit sayin' shit like that.  "        words are forward, blunt, yet uphold fighter's  usual compassion.  EVERYONE ENTERED A DARK PLACE,  some were taken advantage of in their vulnerable states  -  that war pig didn't help any. capitalizing on the destruction of piltover's council    .......    the death of house kiramman's head;  caitlyn's mother.  despite butting heads, violet recognized authority paired with love of her child, the entire populace of topside.

        callous hands came to grasp at ones soft, only a little rough 'round edges in comparison  -  thumbs press    &.    caress against knuckles. it's hard to keep teeth from poking beneath a spreading smile, eyes of silver remained on each other's embrace. though, brows furrow, a tinge of sadness within expression    ......    wasted months sulking    &.    FEELING SORRY FOR THEMSELF  rather than trying to reach beloved, or stay true to their own morals. being buried at the bottom of a mug granted comfort, an escape outside of fighting tooth 'n nail for survival. brawler's only known such things. the mere thought of becoming reliant    &.    obsessed at being by another's side is foreign  -  it's frightening.

Her gaze falls to Vi's abdomen ; shame now doubled for how pathetic she sounds still harping on about the past . She is no victim , deserves no pity or grace for her wrongs , yet Vi always chooses to forgive . Meets her with understanding , patience and a love she oft struggles to comprehend . It is unconditional , and though she hopes her mother carried the same pure love for her daughter ... she's never been the perfect Kiramman .

Subconsciously , Caitlyn's hand falls to that same place she had foolishly targeted all those months ago , only to quickly be enveloped by Vi's own . Breath still feels caught within her throat , but the caress grounds her enough for eyes to rise again & meet Violet's own , no longer heavy with grief she struggled to bury .

She did not expect to be met with the same shimmer of regret in beloved's eyes .

' But ... you were right . I should've listened to you , I shouldn't have been so eager to ... ' An inhale , sharp and labored — perhaps she should listen now , too , and move forward rather than linger . ' You were never my enemy , Violet . Ambessa certainly wanted you to be ; it'd make things easier ... '

repo is so gd funny guys, yuri recorded the video but it didn't pick up her voice for some reason. i'm the red guy.

And , she ... she's added to these sorrows , much as it pains her to admit . How it aches , to know you've played such tremendous part in the heartbreak of the one you love . The regret may threaten to pick apart your heart forever , but there is little that will come from self - hatred . Instead , a simple vow is made : protect Vi , and Piltover , with your life . Grief and rage shall never again blind her , and Vi will never know a life without love .
