By the time Faen and Caitlyn finished, nearly half an hour had passed. This time wasn't long, but it wasn't short either; it was the standard for a normal person controlling their rhythm slightly after entering the main event. But for Faen, this time was obviously not enough. The main reason it ended so quickly was that this time was originally just to inject nutritious essence, helping Caitlyn recover the energy consumed by oral gymnastics.
But who would have thought, Vi came halfway, and even sat at the door for a long time without leaving after speaking. Faen only half-pushing half-yielding ended the current round after Vi collected her mood and left.
And lying on the office desk, after resting for a moment, Caitlyn climbed up again. Taking out a slightly cleaner uniform from the space in the spirit realm, after tidying up, Caitlyn lay back leisurely in the chair, feeling a burst of relaxation.
This relaxation, besides the recovery of physical energy and mental consumption, also came from the relief after clarifying matters in this aspect with Vi.
Before, although deliberately avoiding and not thinking about this matter could keep her from being affected by it. But feeling carefully, her so-called being unaffected was only unaffected to a certain extent. When encountering things slightly related to Vi, she would still feel some subtle discomfort in her heart. Like a bubble on the edge of a phone screen, even if it doesn't affect usage, it still makes one feel uncomfortable from time to time.
Of course, for Caitlyn, this was definitely not just discomfort, but more of a complexity of not knowing how to face it.
And now, having made everything clear, even if there was some hysteria and some unrefined moments in the process, at least... "Everything is over."
Leaning back in the chair, realizing the end of this matter, Caitlyn also felt a burst of relaxation.
To this, Faen on the side shook his head, pulling up his pants while saying: "Considered over for you."
Hearing Faen's words, Caitlyn froze slightly, then said quietly: "This might be somewhat unacceptable for Vi... but after brief pain, at least she can welcome her own life, and then forget me, and everything that happened here."
Saying this, pursing her lips, Caitlyn said somewhat helplessly: "If I don't let her see clearly, she won't give up... her character is just like this, I know."
If possible, Caitlyn also wanted to use safer and gentler methods to tell Vi. But the problem was, in getting along with Vi, Caitlyn knew Vi's character very well. And knew even more clearly that when she tried to fight against her body's impulse to crave being played with by Faen through Vi, accompanied by the revelation of this feeling, she could no longer make Vi give up this feeling through gentle means.
To this, Faen shook his head noncommittally.
Noticing Faen's movement, Caitlyn blinked, then asked straightforwardly: "Is it not so?"
"Can only say more or less."
Hearing Caitlyn's inquiry, Faen shrugged and said: "You indeed understand Vi, but obviously not enough. If you did this before expressing feelings to Vi, even just telling her you want to be with me, she would at most be confused in hesitation for a while, then tell herself she was overthinking all along, or this is the happiness you chose or something, silently putting down those thoughts she shouldn't have, silently blessing you."
"But you already expressed some thoughts to her, even if not put into action, just a hug. For Vi... you know, this girl's inner delicacy is inversely proportional to her outward straightforwardness." Faen raised a finger and said: "Especially since you also said she can't feel your feelings, destined unable to understand each other... to put it another way, before she can feel your feelings and understand your understanding, I think she won't give up easily."
Hearing Faen's words, Caitlyn opened her mouth, but finally seeming to realize something, she sighed, turned around and said: "I... understand."
Looking at the preoccupied Caitlyn, Faen didn't say much more. Because for Caitlyn, understanding this kind of thing wasn't difficult. In comparison, being able to realize it was the most critical.
And seeing things here ended, Faen didn't continue to stay. Instead, pulling up his pants, he closed the door and left.
Unexpectedly dealing with Gangplank today, involving matters related to Bilgewater, Faen also realized he might need to know more about Bilgewater in advance—whether League of Legends (LoL) or Legends of Runeterra (LoR), although both described Bilgewater, just like the Twin Cities in this world, the descriptions between LoR and LoL also conflicted with each other. Combined with the fact that the timeline he was in, just the relationship between Piltover and Zaun was a special timeline mixing Arcane and the previous version of the LoL main universe, therefore even if Bilgewater's power level was similar to Zaun and Piltover, Faen still wouldn't take it lightly—
"Where is Piltover's archive again? Hope the information there is more detailed..."
Thinking this, Faen walked towards the urban area of Piltover. And besides Piltover's archive, Zaun's information compilation, as well as Janna and LeBlanc's understanding of Bilgewater were also reference contents Faen needed.
And just as Faen began to study matters related to Bilgewater, on the other side, accompanied by some surviving pirates successfully returning to Bilgewater, the news about Gangplank's death also spread from Bloodharbor towards the entire Bilgewater like a tide.
Actually, when the vast majority of people heard the news of Gangplank's death, most sneered and disbelieved. Because similar information had appeared unknown how many times in the past—those competitors, enemies, foes of Gangplank, which one wasn't staring at Gangplank's head. But every time? Every time accompanied by people's uncertainty, Gangplank would return in a more bloody and brutal way. Even for the outlaws of Bilgewater, Gangplank's brutality still made people tremble with fear.
Under these circumstances, regarding news like Gangplank's death, they were already numb.
A person's name, a tree's shadow. Although Gangplank himself rarely said so, almost every robber, pirate, and criminal in Bilgewater tacitly accepted Gangplank's identity as the Pirate King.
However, this time was obviously different from the past.
