[ It doesn't take but a split second for Vi to sense something's different when she enters the apartment. There's a tiredness that's weighing on her, shoulders dropped now that no one's around -- or wouldn't have been around to put on a front for. She's not particularly happy about joining the enforcers but with Caitlyn they'd been able to make some changes and the whole situation is still difficult given everything that's happened.

Still the last thing she expects the light comes on is to see Powder... Jinx. She stares at her, brow furrowing. ]

What are you doing here?

[ Even before the light comes on, Jinx's violet eyes seem to glow in the dark, seeing everything... She sees the way Vi's shoulders sink, like they always used to after a long day shouldering the weight of everyone's responsibilities. After shouldering the weight of Powder's mistakes.

What is she doing here? What is she doing here? Why did she come and wait for her sister in the dark, all alone? Why aren't they off somewhere, together? The way they should be. ]

Does she make you happy? Your cop girlfriend.

[ Vi's eyes don't waver away from the other and she's not necessarily afraid though she is wary. She still doesn't think Powder... Jinx... would ever hurt her. She knows her sister is still there. ]

Why does that matter to you?

[powderedblue]

[ Jinx's posture is relaxed, but there's a fury in her glowing purple eyes that can't be covered up by even the deepest of acts she could put on. ]

You chose her over me. I just want to know if you think it was worth it.

[theirkeeper]

[ And Vi still knows how to read her sister better than she can read anyone else honestly. Jinx is still Powder. ]

I didn't choose between the two of you.
