[ Viktor never admits to that. It actually does calm him a little, instead of spinning him out more. It means he isn't likely to take more risks. ]
It does make me feel better, although I'm really sorry you went through something like this and had to feel that way. But you and Ciri are alive, that's what matters.
Have you left Aquila yet? If not, stop by a medicine store, with such a long trip those bruises are going to get worse. You'll need numbing salves and temporary pain killers. Trust the not-quite-a-doctor.
I suppose I should start at the beginning. The reason the horse threw me was because it was startled by one of the desert creatures, which subsequently attacked us. That's when Ciri tried to teleport us away, but we were pulled to the crater, instead.
[ Jayce rarely swears but if there was ever a time it was appropriate, now would be that time. He has to remind himself that obviously Viktor lived, he's talking to him right there, he doesn't have to panic. ]
[ Despite Viktor reaching out, Jayce still didn't know if this would lead toward him being allowed to see him again. Viktor said he didn't want to, and Jayce had stayed out of his way ever since. He's so hungry and hopeful all of a second. ]
[ A breath Jayce feels like he's been holding for days is finally released, and the same type of tension in his shoulders relaxes. It's not forever. Viktor wants to see him again. ]
Thank you for allowing me back into your life. Am I allowed to say I missed you?

Actually. The horse has my crutch. I have no idea if it made it back to Cadens.
no subject
[ Because there's no way Jayce would've just accepted them stuck somewhere without doing anything to get them. ]
I can ask around to see if a horse came back. If not I can make you a new one. You went on a horse? How was that?
[ If he can distract them both from their freak out, probably for the better. ]
no subject
It wasn't his fault. Jaskier might know if he came back--Ciri said her horse knows the way home, and it's likely mine would have followed.
no subject
I'll message him and see if it got there.
no subject
[Implying, of course, greater injury, but whatever.]
Thank you. I've left most of the communication at Ciri, for reasons that are perhaps obvious.
[She's also slightly distressed--he doesn't want to inadvertently make it worse by reaching out to her people in her stead.]

Does she seem to know why the Singularity would react like that to her powers?

[ He didn't want to hear the love. ]
no subject
There's more that I should say, but I think it should be in person.
no subject
[ Missing him, that is. ]
I will listen to anything you want to say to me. But you're really ten days away?
[ That feels like ten years. ]

Can you talk awhile longer or is it too tiring? Is it okay if I check in with you every day just to make sure you're alright?
no subject
...what would you like to talk about?
