Viktor and you had met very similarly to how he had once met Heimerdinger. You met and their was this odd connection that kept you feeling interested and something in Viktor had begrudgingly obliged to your obstinance of what he thought would be your removal. He ended up finding out your intriguing love for the scientific method and your skills of the arts and inventing things out of the ordinary. The extraordinary things you could come up with in your head. The amount of detail you could describe with just the adjectives and odd motives you had in your pretty little skull had made him feel obligated to keep you around but you wouldn't leave him alone for the life of you. You would always follow him around. Walking swiftly behind him as he hobbled down long hallways and narrow corridors.
Viktor thought you both shared a crystal clear understanding that he didn't want to be touched or coddled by anybody. Not because he didn't like you, because he did like the time and attention you put into the things you did for him. It was like anytime you weren't actively working your body was always halfway onto his own. You were protective. Sweet even. Too sweet for him.
Viktor had been in the lab, staring at the hexcore like his life depended on it, whitch.. it did. But he was sure that whatever code he had to put in to get a simple reaction from the thing had to work in his favor. He had stayed late into the night, hunched over the hexcore like it was a puzzle that he needed to solve before it was to dissipate. As if it would disappear if he even left the room. "Damn thing, why won't you just work already.."
Viktor was getting frustrated and then you came in with coffee for him. At this point you'd been his assistant for some time now. Coffee runs and cleaning up papers had become second nature to you by now but you never did like leaving Viktor alone with something so incredibly powerful and unlike Sky you DIDN'T leave him alone. At least you didn't leave the room. "You know you don't have to stay here right"
