Viktor's lips quirk, the warmth in his expression going a touch sly as an idea strikes him. "Do you, солнце? I will have to keep that in mind." He usually kept his native tongue to himself, jotted in offhanded notes or curses under his breath. Certainly never used in little endearments, and maybe if Jayce understood he'd find it more difficult.
Still it is an appropriate one. Jayce very much is the sun, if Viktor allows himself the embarrassing sentimentality of it. Warm, bright, golden.
"Eh, it depends on the surfaces," Viktor answers. Typically these sort of questions bring up a quick, defensive annoyance in him but Jayce asks instead of assumes- that and he isn't necessarily against leaning on him, for the proximity. "The sidewalks should be fine, any dirt that gets softened will be troublesome. I suspect it will be a nonissue but I also suspect you may just wish to have me lean against you."
His tone is teasing in his dry way. He taps Jayce's arm until he can slot properly into place at his side, as concise as putting together their prototypes. Jayce's joke has him glancing up though, thoughtful before hesitantly taking Jayce's hand instead of simply leaning against him. "I have concerns about how this could be damaging to our work relationship, yes. Even so you should know by now I am not one who shies from taking risks. My mind will not change."
Jayce was a risk worth taking before and remains that, as dangerous as it all could be. Life is too short, as they say.
