She is the master of her own affections and destiny, yes. [He did miss her, more than he could express in words. Since the day Vi had been born, Vander had been attached to her. He had helped raise her from day one, babysat while Felicia and Connol were working the mine shifts.] As long as she's happy wherever she is, that's all that matters to me. She deserves that... life hasn't been easy for her.

[It had obviously been worse in part after he had died. Jail then facing off against the undercity and then whatever other threats had come up. Powder was different, not Jinx, the Lanes was taken over by Chem-barons and Silco. He'd seen what that man had transformed into after all.

He forced the corner of his lip to a small smile, though it didn't reach his eyes. That's why he closed them as he offered a little shrug.] Well, glad I could help. I expect the road is going to be rather bumpy given who else is here and the complicated agendas. You and Jayce sticking together is the best course for you both in the game of sides.
