I'll deal with it. But I'm sure he'll have lots of pretty excuses, in an attempt to change my mind.
[Platitudes about how they need to look after this place while they're here, and make it better. Ensure that the Summoned have someone in their corner, and how he's the right person for the job. Viktor might even agree, if not for the fact that he generally dislikes the idea of Jayce serving in any political capacity.
He doesn't trust that it won't pull him away from their work, the way it did last time. And, perhaps, he doesn't necessarily trust all of Jayce's decisions--but that's only part of what's really bothering him, it seems.]
Jayce has everything he wants here. He's decided that means he can do whatever ridiculous thing he likes. [It's clear, by now, that Viktor is actually talking about something else--he's become a bit more animated, his eyebrows furrowed in consternation, and his hands fiddle aggressively with knobs and dials and clamps.] He asked me to marry him.
[Viktor considers this a mostly ridiculous thing, evident by his tone of voice, but there's a defeated quality there, too, like saying it out loud to someone else finally makes it real.]
