[ She's going to call his bluff on that. While she's normally supportive of people and what they wear (well, most of the time) of him wearing whatever he wanted, she knew Viktor well enough to know that he wasn't likely to show up in say, a silky pair of pajamas that could be considered fancy.
The answer is a sobering. What did you do when you were certain that you weren't going to make it past a certain age? Hope was a powerful thing and she knew that from experience. As much as she was stubbornly determined to not just survive the war but live to see days past it, she would be lying if some of that was also not fuelled by hope. Some people thought it was better to nip it in the bud and be realistic about your situation and circumstances.
She rarely did nip things in the bud unless they were...well, feelings. But she doesn't want to touch those right now with a ten foot pole and nipping it in the bud is certainly not what she wants for Viktor. She may never know exactly what he's lived through, but she does know that he's destined - and more than deserving - of bright, good things. She grips his hand giving his hand a squeeze and a warm smile. ]
But you will now. [ A cheeky spark appears in the curve of her lips. ] And really, if you can survive the great whipped cream prank of Aquila, I'm sure you can live through anything in the name of love.
