[Vi doesn't even flinch with Ekko's outburst, and she elbows Caitlyn in the side as she glances from her to him.]

He had such a crush on her. She did too, but she wasn't as obvious about it.

[but then she shrugs loosely as she glances back over at him, still unbothered by his reaction. if anything, she just looks really smug.]

That's what you get for bringing up my private life, Ekko. Don't dish it if you can't take it.

[Well, if her gift of deduction hadn't made it obvious, Ekko's reactions to Vi sure did. Interesting.]

Oh really? Well? Have you seen her, Ekko?

[She would be surprised if he hadn't. That didn't necessarily mean anything was going to happen between them, but she wouldn't be mad if Jinx had something else to distract her. Anything to help her forget how much she seemed to hate Caitlyn. All the better if it was a good influence on Jinx, too.]

[Little did both of them know exactly how much time they had been spending together and the lengths to which their bond has developed, Ekko likely to keep that to himself given how explicitly Jinx had made it to keep things under wraps. However; When provoked by both Vi and Caitlyn countered by the alcohol coursing through his veins it was very hard to keep his composure. Rolling his eyes as they continue to poke fun at him, tipping his glass of ale back with a satisfied hum to drain its remaining contents before giving them both a stern glare.]

Maybe, maybe not. Even if I did you think I am going to tell you two lovebirds?

[The last thing he needed was to be condescended for his choice in women even she was Vi's sister. Flagging down the bartender, Ekko raised his empty glass high in the air as he asks for another. If he had to endure this kind of mockery from not one but both of them the boy needed to be way more drunk. Thankfully it was only a drunken stumble back to their humble abode from here.]

[Vi can't help but laugh softly as Ekko gets even more disgruntled about the whole thing, and she shakes her head.]

You don't have to tell me, between you and her you'll tell me everything I need to know without saying anything.

[Jinx is also one of those that's easy to read when it comes to things like this, now that she's getting more used to her.

which... she never thought she'd be able to do again, so it's a comforting thought.]

[bulleting]

That is a rather telling response.

[She's one to talk. Her and Vi have apparently been very readable from the beginning, but Ekko and Jinx? Yeah, she didn't see that coming. While Ekko hadn't seethed of hatred quite the same about Jinx as he did for Silco, there was still anger and frustration-- which she understood, completely. But Jinx had changed since being here. Being away from Zaun and Piltover had been good for her.

While the whole self improvement deal the Council claimed was definitely bullshit, it was kind of nice to see some people were having some growth while being here.]
