"There are times you may have to bite your tongue," Viktor points out, unable to keep a level of fondness from his expression. He isn't sure how to articulate he can see this being worse, that Jayce is being slowly built up to symbolize a Piltover ideal and 'shacking up with a trencher' is never going to be smiled upon there. All the politically savvy matches his patron has no doubt already been considering for him, all the families that will want to believe they have a chance - no, he simply cannot imagine they will be spared, even if Viktor keeps somewhat out of the public eye as he has been.
But he is in Jayce's lap and that is cause for some celebration and optimism. He runs a hand through Jayce's damp hair, down to the nape of his neck in slow exploration. He lets out a faint chuckle at Jayce's answer, tilting his neck to give Jayce access as he hums and considers what else there was. "Hm, important matters... I prefer to be- big spoon, yes? That is the term. If you do as well we will simply need to set a schedule."
A dry joke, but really he isn't sure what else can be said. At this point it will be a matter of handling what they've already mentioned as it comes, in hopes it will work out despite those who would happily see them fail. "You are a pushover though so I am sure I will win more often than not."
