Jayce doesn't know if it's a big deal or not, but he is going to react to it like it is, since something is throwing Viktor off. He may have a better idea once he sees said pet, there has to be a reason for him to be anxious about it. The idea that Viktor had a pet before, one maybe in the Undercity, fascinates him. He says so little about himself. It is one of those very rare occurrences where Viktor is opening a small window and Jayce can't help but try to push it open fully.
"Okay. Good." Jayce smiles hesitantly again. This awkwardness between them is sticking around because there are things left unsaid, but they are always capable of moving through it. He remembers to drop his hand away before it lingers too long on Viktor, trying hard to be careful of his boundaries. They rarely fought so that tension is still there from the bridge and the weapon conversation. But he has faith.
"Do we have multiple floors? It's probably best to put it on a lower level. It'll be hot." That is obvious but necessary. Jayce doesn't know if it would be easy to just make it room temperature with their brains somehow, but if he's actually making anything in here, real or not, it'll have to get going. He doesn't want to be doing something in there and Viktor to be sweating in the lab because he still is new to manipulating their area.
