"Exactly. And we will. We're taking as few risks as possible."
Jayce is sure that Viktor got into the position he was because he felt he had no time, and in their world, he didn't. Rushing was dangerous but it was in desperation. They don't have that here. They have found successful stop-gaps to keep him alive until then. It makes a difference, Jayce would be frantic if they had to push too far too fast. He became a healer for Viktor, to give him this time.
When they do pull it off, it will be extensive, yes. There is no getting around the fact this is still going to be the most dangerous thing Viktor will ever do to himself. But he has support now. Jayce is glad to have other members of the team. He and Viktor alone could probably handle it, but they don't have to.
He shakes his head a little, running his hand along Viktor's spine like he often does out of comfort or just to feel him. Jayce has a pretty good read on people. "I think he was out of line in his approach and attitude, you have strict boundaries and deserve people to respect them, but I do think he cares about you and you're not a puzzle. He has bad blood with Stephen, it couldn't have been easy to go to him for help, even for someone else." Jayce observed their tense behavior on the network and at the town hall.
"But if you want me to push him around a little, I can do that." It's completely a joke as they both know.
