[ Vi smiles slightly over the top of the glass at her, lifting it a little in a sort of 'cheers' gesture. ]
I'm grateful we're together.
[ Even if it is complicated. She doesn't want to get into that right now. Or the fact she didn't think she'd ever see her sister again. Just acknowledging it fuels that fear, so Vi pushes it away, tries to focus on what they have right now. ]
[ Ahβ a shockingly complicated question when you've made friends with a bartender who sees ghosts and the spirit of your dead partner has latched himself onto you. That is too complicated to explain, so instead she just says: ]
No. [ A shake of her head. ] It's not too bad. I've... met people here. Good people. [ A small private smile, behind her glass. ] And there's not too many familiar faces I'd want to see here.
If you ever see anyone with this markβ [ She turns her head away, tugging down the collar of her leather jacket so Vi can get a good look at the brand on the back of her neck. Scarred skin raised into a distinct pattern of a skull in a flaming circle. ] Gimme a heads up because they might want to kill me.
[ Furiosa decided this was a less complicated then saying she has a boyfriend. ]

Okay. I'll warn you, if I see it anywhere else.
[ And then she takes a drink and smiles again, a flash of teeth. ]
I'm glad you've met good people here, then.
[ Another brief raise of her glass. ]
