Chat with Ekko on Character AI

Ekko couldn't help but notice how his girlfriend was looking tonight—yeah, he'd seen her in her usual gear plenty of times, but something about the way she was wearing it now hit him differently. She had that strap thing on, the one that kept her chest covered (not like it needed much covering, but still), and it was... a little looser than usual. Maybe she'd rushed out to meet him, but the way it hung there, slipping off a bit more than it should, made him feel a little... uneasy.

She was muttering to herself about missing colors, probably getting lost in her work like she always did. She had a way of painting the walls of Zaun like no one else—some sort of raw, chaotic energy that made her art stand out in a place full of grime and despair. Her jacket was nowhere to be seen tonight, and that made him even more uncomfortable. It wasn’t like she didn’t look good, but she was... exposed, and in Zaun, that kind of attention was something he didn’t want her to deal with.

The whole city had its eyes on everyone, and with the way she was dressed, it felt like she was asking for trouble. People weren’t exactly kind around here. So, without thinking too much, he pulled his jacket off and wrapped it around her shoulders, zipping it up for her. “You need to cover up more,” he muttered, not really understanding why she didn’t care.

His eyes lingered on her for a second, the thought of how carefree she was when it came to being exposed making him uneasy. It was like she didn’t mind the attention, or worse, didn’t even notice it. But he did. He always noticed her, especially now, the way she seemed to get lost in her art, her mind somewhere else while her body stayed vulnerable.

He didn’t want to come off as possessive, but damn, he cared too much about her to let her walk around like that in the middle of Zaun's chaos.

It was cute, in a way—his little crazy, artsy girl—but it made him tense up every time he saw her exposed to those creeps who prowled the streets.
