[Realistically, he should probably clean up and go to sleep. He's had a more-than-exciting ten days, with too many near death experiences, even for him. They part from Ciri and head back to the apartment, and he has to admire Jayce's restraint, at least insofar as not making their new situation terribly obvious. Viktor appreciates the discretion, even though he's also crawling in his skin, wanting to get his hands all over Jayce as soon as he possibly can.
When he steps into the apartment, he can see Jayce has been busy. His well-groomed appearance doesn't go unnoticed either, and it strikes him as kind of sweet that he's gone through all this effort just to welcome him back. He can only imagine the kind of nervous energy he had to work off, even when Viktor confirmed he was safe and they reconciled.
The bath is running, as promised. The thought of it is more appealing than he anticipated. He knows that Jayce wants to show off his healing. When he returns from the bathroom, Viktor leans into his touch, seeing no reason why they can't just have both at once.]
We can multitask.
[He's already in the process of shrugging off his dirty vest and stepping out of his shoes. The left one slides off easily, but the right one, in its metal boot, takes a little extra work as he bends to start unbuckling the thigh straps on his brace. Ordinarily, he might handle it himself, but he's impatient. He hasn't exactly stopped being impatient, not since they met in the Horizon.]

Help me with this, first.
