"It's not flattery, it's the truth. Try being less competent if you don't want to hear it."
Jayce rolls his eyes at him in a playful way, he's going to keep flattering him because he can and he always means it. Jayce is not actually prone to giving a lot of compliments that aren't legitimately what he thinks. He had to try that out a little bit while sucking up to the Council and while he found he's pretty good at it when he needs to be, he doesn't like it. Both Viktor and Caitlyn get annoyed when he showers them with praise though, they'll have to live with it.
"If you think I was protective of your reputation when we were strangers, imagine already having been my friend." Jayce immediately tried to refuse Viktor's offer to sneak into Heimerdinger's office to continue their illegal experiments. He couldn't justify hurting someone else's future like that. After thinking of that though, Jayce's eyes brighten and he grins.
"Oh I have an idea." He pets Rio one more time, unsure if she'll be following them from now, although she's welcome. Jayce sets the boat down and reaches out to tug on Viktor's sleeve. "Come on." He goes back to the lift, waiting for Viktor to join him, and in the process of it moving, he creates another floor for them to stop on, not straight to the forge. It takes him some focus, he closes his eyes to get it right, since the forge going cold was difficult for him to make sense of. This time he'll be on top of it.
Jayce opens a door to a familiar hall, where Viktor once said this is not my room, and he opens Heimerdinger's door to show the lab exactly as it was on that special night for them. It's glowing beautiful blue and Jayce winks at Viktor before intentionally stepping inside and floating up into the ceiling.
