Being naked goes against safe laboratory practices.
[ ha ha, get the joke, like anything in hextech has ever been done according to safe laboratory practices... anyway. the only way that'd happen would be if he was showering, in which case he wouldn't be responding, so no worries. ]
I'm sorry to prove you wrong, but my house did not make it... so come straight to the back.
[ previously, his house stood closer to the street, while the entire laboratory occupied the space behind it; now there is no house, but luckily the lab doubles as such for him. ]
[ he pauses and looks at vi looking at her arm, and he sighs — of course. well, at least she's still standing. that's something. ]
I suppose nobody died, so that is a small victory.
[ said incredibly dryly.
and then, with a hint of bitterness entering that dryness, ] Why is it that everyone is so keen to be glad when something terrible is over? As if that is all we can do — be sad, be glad, be worried, while the world does whatever it wants.

[ it's a why response, or meant to be one in any case, but because intent translates poorly in text... ]
You are one of the few I do not mind seeing. The lab is still standing, I will be here.
no subject
[and... you never know what the fuck's going on in this world.]

[but okay, she's heading over. it was partially why she'd asked if it was cool, because... who knows where he ended up after all that.
but it doesn't take her long to get there, and she's opening the door to the lab and stepping in.]
Damn, your house took a beating!

as she enters, she will find him sitting near the table that used to belong to jayce, sorting through the papers. ]
Yes, thank you for the observation, [ he returns dryly. ] I wasn't too attached to it, anyway. I can sleep here or elsewhere just as well.
[ "elsewhere" = at octavian's, obviously. ]
Are you and Caitlyn alright?
no subject
Yeah, I mean... it's just a place.
[she looks down at her arm, still injured and wrapped up until maybe, just maybe the bite will go away.]
We made it. Me with more bumps and bruises than her, but that's fine with me. I'm just glad it's all over for now.

[ anywayyyy, ] What happened to your arm, Violet?
no subject
okay, fortune cookie.
she almost says this out loud, but bites her tongue. didn't he say something about not understanding why Jinx was calling him that?]
Not much else we can do, right now. At least, not for me.
[she rolls her shoulder to loosen it, and she sighs.]
Got torn into in all the chaos and shit. But I got someone to patch me up, so it'll be fine.
