"Just as well. There would have been even more allegations of favoritism."
Heimerdinger's favorite, palling around with the Dean's Assistant. People talked enough about Viktor's position. Just as well they didn't over-complicate things, as interesting a hypothetical as it is to consider.
Rio will not be coming with them--she bumps Jayce's hand again and then flops onto the area rug, seemingly content to stay exactly where she is. Viktor imagines he'll find her back in the caves soon enough, though he's still getting used to having an ostensibly living thing in here with a mind of its own. For now, Viktor follows along, letting Jayce take the lead. Once they're out of the lift, though, it's very easy to see where this is going.
Jayce smiles almost as wide as he did that first night. It's nice to see.
"You're sentimental."
Viktor stays on the ground, just for the time being, but he leans against the door frame and folds his arms, taking in the view.
