It's tempting, to see how long Jayce's healing magic will work. Perhaps it's the safer option, rather than taking a chance on a permanent cure, especially when they aren't sure if the effort will kill him. He's already had much longer than he should have, thanks to Jayce's efforts--maybe if he keeps getting stronger, Viktor can hold out. He knows, however, that they need to take the risk on a permanent solution. If they fail, he would rather they fail in the attempt. Viktor would rather it be abrupt than a slow wasting away, and he's sure Jayce would prefer that too, even if neither of them are going to say as much.
Viktor leans into the kiss and lingers in the embrace for a moment before ducking out of Jayce's arms and easing himself down on the bed.
For all he found it difficult to envision a future after his illness, Viktor finds that Jayce is right. These thoughts are creeping in more frequently, now that their plans are starting to come to fruition and they are slowly making their way towards the most vital experiment either of them will ever perform. Do or die, literally.
"I don't know," he admits, shrugging. He's still not sure if he believes in what he's saying. "It seems better to talk about than the alternative."
