[Combining the beds proves to be an excellent idea--Jayce is not exactly small, and despite Viktor doing his best to wrap around him or curl up against him as they sleep, his bed isn't built for two grown men. Taking an intermission to rearrange the apartment is necessary, and he thanks Jayce for it when they're back to relaxing and they can both spread out as much as they like. Again, he finds himself thinking that he can get used to this, and for once, the guilt he feels in the pit of his stomach seems to lessen.
Despite their initial disagreement about the source of their funding, Jayce has stuck by him, and together the two of them worked to extricate themselves. He's not even worried about the repercussions of pulling out of the deal, because for once, Viktor feels supported--not only by Jayce, but by their network of friends and colleagues. He can't help but feel full of possibility. Finally, they'll be their own employers, and won't be beholden to the whims of a council or an academy. He smiles a little, and when Jayce says the name he has in mind, he can't help but break into a grin, the excitement evident on his face.
Viktor knew he's been working on this for a while, but this is all surprisingly thoughtful.]
I love it.
[Here he was, bracing himself for something with "Talis" in the name--not that he would have objected to it, but this is something uniquely theirs, for all the reasons that Jayce lists. Viktor shifts a little, turns, and kisses Jayce on the cheek in apparent approval.]

It's perfect.
