Viktor stands just a step or two past the closed door for a moment, looking at Jayce on the bed and taking it all in. Of course he's here, worrying himself about whatever went on at Viktor's consult, reading a book to distract himself. The sight of it fills him with something that's a bit indescribable. Jayce here, waiting for him, anxious for good news. Still working, all the same.
Jayce reaches a hand out to him and Viktor moves forward and takes it--then does one better and closes the distance, stepping up to Jayce's seated form, slotting in between his legs and sliding arms around his shoulders. Viktor looks down at him. He's not quite smiling, but he doesn't seem in despair, either. His sleeves are rolled up and there's a patch of gauze on his inner elbow, indicative of a blood draw.
"He was a worthwhile consult." And, given how Viktor laid into Tony about dragging someone else into this situation, says that things went okay, at the very least. Still, Viktor pets Jayce's hair anxiously, indicating that, despite this, their problems are not magically solved. "The biggest hurdle, of course, is that he's in Thorne. Not ideal, for our purposes."
Becasue, his own personal feelings aside, it will be extremely useful to have a surgeon on their team.
