It is difficult for Jayce to think right now that his father would be proud. Of Hextech, absolutely. Of their hopes and dreams and the work they put into it, yes. He always cared that Jayce never gets lazy, never forget where he came from and the value of a hard day's work, and that is something he does still carry to now. But Jayce is not proud of himself right now let alone able to think his father would be. He knows eventually this conversation will have to happen, but it is not something he is ready for. The very thought of it makes him nauseated right now, as they both know Jayce can be when stressed or overwhelmed. Some day.
He knows Viktor well enough to know he is aware they are intentionally not talking about something important. All he can be is grateful that it isn't time to press that particular button yet. Jayce wishes he knew why he was supposed to destroy the Hexcore so he could explain, but that will have to stay a mystery.
"Oh good, I'd love to see what the office you'd make for yourself would look like." It isn't hot in here now but it's still beautiful and cozy, the fire from the forge bright enough to keep light and not need them to squint to see one another. It's nice to think of Viktor creating areas for himself, filling them with his choices, what he wants. Jayce will take anything he can get to observe details about his friend and what he values.
Jayce does not mention that the overlook was the last place they spoke, when Viktor nearly jumped and they had a heartfelt if painful conversation, he just nods. "Of course I know it. It's where you go to think." Thus where Jayce knew to find him in the first place, when he wasn't in the lab or anywhere else. "Like this place is for me." Although Jayce would say it is more a place for him to feel than it is for him to think, but same difference in the end.
"Show me. I haven't decided what else to add." He already thinks maybe the council room, not because he wants to be there, but it might be good to have in case they need to have bigger conversations with other people. A conference room of sorts.
