I know who killed Vataz and the others. It's--
[Her voice is strained. She sounds as though she's in pain and out of breath.]
It's complicated. We need to be cautious not to worsen the situation any further. Someone else was killed. A woman. Her death is what started it all. There's someone else I need to question; I'll be able to share more once I have.
[There's the soft thud of someone's back hitting a wall.]
For now, young men should stay out of the Wards and the Keep, if at all possible. The killer can't distinguish between its true target and other men who appear similar. And don't go down into the glacial lakes. It isn't safe.
[Another pause, followed by a wince.]
If any medical personnel are able to spare supplies, I could do with a bandage.

No matter how far Caitlyn does intend it, it gets a half-smile, but it's a sad one. ]
I know. You've already saved me more than once. [ In more than one way, but...that isn't going to matter if Vi can't get her shit together before this siege swallows them all. ] I'd be dead if not for you. I'm not wasting that chance. But you can't come with me.
[ Not to look for Powder. Not... Not yet. Is it going to be not ever? Better not to think about that.
Vi doesn't like the idea of leaving her alone to fend off potential ambushes while trying to reason with Deimar, either. This is a lose-lose at the moment if Caitlyn won't listen. ]
Please, just let me help you this time.
[ No matter Vi's condition, she'll carry Caitlyn to the merchants if she'd just agree. ]

If Jinx spots her, the whole situation could go very wrong, but she can stay out of sight, she can watch over Vi from a distance...]
Vi...
[She pulls her hand from Vi's grasp, reaching for her face, but the sudden movement causes her head to swim and static to fill her vision.
Breathe.
She bows her head, clenches her teeth, tries to hear through the ringing in her ears, but the only thing she's aware of is the feeling of leather against her cheek - has she fallen into Vi? - before everything goes dark.]
