"Hm. Nice jacket."

"Dammit Vi, where the hell did you go?" sighed a breathless Caitlyn as she jogged through the undercity streets. Vi had taken off running ahead of her, leaping across buildings with ease as she made her way down into the undercity, leaving Caitlyn to slowly and awkwardly make her own way down.
Eventually, Caitlyn peeked around the corner of a quiet alleyway and was met with a surprising sight: a naked and tied up Vi sitting on a crate, struggling against the ropes.
"Oh my god, Vi? W-what the hell happened?" Caitlyn stammered as she approached her tied up partner, awkwardly averting her eyes.
"HHMMPPHH!" came Vi's muffled reply, continuing to struggle.
Caitlyn slowly found her eyes drifting back to look at Vi, trying her best to be subtle about it. "Who... who did this to you? And where are your clothes?!" Caitlyn demanded.
"WHMPH KHMMMPH?! HMPH MM!"
"Oh right. Yes. Of course," Caitlyn said, her composure and subtlety slowly faltering until she found herself staring at Vi as she sheepishly rubbed her shoulder. "I suppose I should get you out of this."
Caitlyn began to reach out and starting untying Vi, but stopped halfway. "U-uh... I think maybe I'll just... check that the people who did this are definitely gone. You know, so... ahem, the same thing doesn't happen to me. And I'll see if I can... find something for you to wear too."
Vi's eyes widened in disbelief. "WHHMPH?!?"
--
"You just... sit right there, and I'll have a quick look around to make sure that they're gone," Caitlyn assured Vi, as she slowly stepped away from her, walking backwards as she continued looking Vi up and down. "You keep watch for anyone else coming by."
"NNMM! HMMPH MM!" Vi continued her muffled cries, becoming more and more desperate.
Vi was forced to sit and watch as Caitlyn half-heartedly searched the alleyway, glancing over at Vi every few seconds who was growing increasingly angrier by the minute. Vi began to seriously regret picking a fight with a random group of undercity thugs, even if she did really want that guy's jacket. She also quickly came to the realisation that Caitlyn was in no hurry to rescue her, and was enjoying the show a little too much. It looked like she was going to be here for a while...
"She could have at least taken the gag off..." Vi thought to herself.

Well, I thought I wouldn't ever do an Arcane related render but, here we are. Hope you enjoyed this alternate ending to the parkour scene from Episode 5 of Arcane.
