[Viktor makes that half-laugh sound, appreciating the honesty. They stand there looking at each other for a moment. He studies Kyle's face carefully before he voices a conclusion.]
I know you wouldn't.
[But he doesn't say whether it's because Viktor has some amount of trust in him, or if it's because he doesn't believe Kyle could. Either way, it's unsurprising that Kyle turns to leave. The sensible thing is to let him go and consider all of this finished--but it's not finished, not really. Viktor doesn't feel right, leaving things like this, and he only allows a brief beat of silence.]
Wait. [This is very stupid, and Kyle probably doesn't even want to, but he did offer. And Viktor would rather deal with a known entity than put his trust in some random Draconae guard.] It would be equally foolish of me, to go out there by myself.
