Jayce joins him on the lift and does know that there's no time limit, which is why he wants to consider the other things he'll add before creating them. He has some more obscure ideas that take more focus, especially if he's still making heat mistakes. And really, he just wants to learn more about Viktor's space and new pet. He genuinely has no idea what to expect since Viktor's uncertainty is new to him.
It is fascinating to step into Viktor's study, the one that he would have chosen for himself given the chance. Whereas Jayce is creating something that already existed, the sentimental person he is, Viktor had vision for something he wanted. He said his life's ambition was not to be the professor's assistant, and Jayce doesn't know what his trajectory would've been if not for Hextech. He hopes one that would be fulfilling with or without him.
Jayce is distracted by hungrily looking around, taking all the details he finds interesting and open about his partner, and then his searching eyes drop on Rio. And he is startled but fascinated. The funny thing is Viktor's made up stories about the Undercity from time to time, to poke at Jayce and he knows it, but this seems more surprising than any of that. In typical Jayce form though, it only draws him close to the creature, eyebrows furrowing as he takes it in.
Oh there's a name for it, one he's never heard before. A waverider. Jayce follows Viktor, drawn close, and offers out a hand to her to sniff. He has no idea if you should be treating a waverider like a dog, as if all animals adjust to people the same way, but he still is not assuming he can just pet her like Viktor.
"No, I never have." He's in awe. "Hi there, you're adorable." Jayce loves animals, even ones he couldn't have expected. "You had one of these as a pet in the Undercity?"
