Since he is not a nurse or a doctor or anything more than a friend visiting, Viktor will not at all begrudge Kell any grumpiness—it’s not like he’s the one who has to force feed the cure, or something. For now, hey can simply enjoy each others company, even if it means sitting in silence. Viktor, who has been in this position more often than he would like, understands the value of this kind of quiet support. He’s not going to push Kell to do anything until he’s ready, setting the puzzle box aside for now.

“I can get you something? Call for the doctors?”

The last thing he wants is for Kell to sit here in pain—alleviating that is something he can do.
