[No God damn way; As soon as Ekko's gaze catches the familiar sight of short pink hair minted by his closest companion he immediately jumps onto his feet to face his counterpart eye to eye. Eyes wide in shock and awe as he stares at Vi for a moment or two in complete silence until finally shaking his head before closing the gap between them and embracing her in a tight hug. Burying his face into her shoulder in a similar fashion upon their initial reunion back at the Firelight safe haven his hands cling tightly to her back before finally whispering out a reply.]

I can't believe its you...I thought you might be dead again.

[He never saw Vi after saving Caitlyn and fleeing the debacle that unfolded upon the bridge in the wake of Jinx's massacre unto the Enforcers with he and Piltie getting caught in the crossfire before his battle against her sister. After that he was forced to go back into hiding because of the injuries sustain to his person caused by Jinx's grenade, thankfully found by Heimerdinger who aided him in returning to the Firelight's home base. That was the last time he'd seen Vi for quite some time now and had feared for the worst, Silco picking her up to torture her or worse killing his childhood friend.

Slowly but surely he peels himself away from his grasp on her with a relieved sigh, shaking his head as its quickly followed up by a bit of hushed laughter under his breath at her initial sentiment.]

I'd be surprised if you even knew how to dance, Vi. Unless it involves a punch to the face.

[Not that he did either but he had to throw some teasing shade her way as always now given his cocky attitude.]
