' As stronger as always, Defender. '
Perhaps Viktor's differences with Jayce, he felt like none of that mattered here. At least not now. Viktor had invented time travel, more like universe travel, in his seek for a blocker for human hatred, disease and negative emotions β His search had been without Jayce, because In this place Jayce never let him go.. And they both were in Piltoven.
.
It might not have been what Viktor specific wanted, but this, this was enough for him. Enough to understand that he really needed Jayce; That his old friendship was at least worth of his consideration. He would archive his goal once he goes back to his universe, of course, but he would try to keep Jayce out of all of this for now β Just until he can understand why Viktor had his goal as a positive goal and not a destruction one.
.
' Yeah! Either way I'm the strongest scientists. '
Jayce exclaimed, arrogance found in his tone. Viktor knew that Jayce was arrogant and had this superiority complex. Viktor didn't mind, he recalled himself having to endure Jayce's attitude, sometimes it went bad, sometimes good, but that was in the past β Right now he could only admire it, admire everything that Jayce did and will do. He didn't want to throw away his shot, and for once, he was thinking past the dark tomorrow that he had once thought would come.
.
Jayce and Viktor were at the forge, while Jayce was trying to make a new hammer to use with Hextech, although it didn't turn out as he thought it would β But either way, by the simple fact that he made a big progress it was fine. Viktor was sitting above a workbench, and he felt himself surprised as Jayce walked over, sweating a bit, sitting on the chair against the workbench and resting the back of his head against Viktor's thigh. Viktor recalled his Jayce never doing this, and for some reason, he was glad that this one actually showed that he cared.
.
He, somehow, enjoyed this universe already.
