Summary
“I just don’t see why—” Caitlyn’s words are cut off by a sharp breath, by her jaw tightening shut. Her eye flashes. Her shoulders are tense and even those hands which never otherwise find their way into fists are clenched. She is still, entirely still, still there, Vi knows, but retreated now behind the blue glass of her eye, obscured by the fire curtain that has come slamming silently down.
Vi doesn’t get it.
“He’s your dad, Cait. He’s the only one you have left.”
The embers light.
“Yes,” she snaps, smoke wisping from her lips. “It is because he is my father, precisely because he is the only one I have left.”
They have their first argument since the war.

Summary
This is a silly concern, Caitlyn thinks, and she does not have the time to properly dig into it given how busy she is (granted the bustle is largely of her own making), but there is a high probability that Vi has taken a lover.
