Viktor fully plans to use that unofficial title for evil, of course. Sure, a permanent portal to Aquila might be nice, but Jayce could also put forward a motion to allow the Summoned more access to resources or less red tape. Is that an abuse of what little power the conclave might have? Possibly. Does Viktor care? Not really.
He frowns a little when Jayce says that he'll be careful, because that's really something that's out of their hands. The kiss reassures him, and Viktor finds himself leaning into it, something silly but endearing about the way they use the hat to hide it. His eyes slide closed and he lets it linger for a moment, hidden behind the safety of their impromptu privacy screen. When he pulls back, there's renewed warmth in his expression.
"I was talking about the hat." And the fact that it's so large. "I'm not going to combust in the sun, Jayce."
