[Perhaps one meeting ago Viktor would be more sympathetic to the possibility of Kyle's past aired to the both of them, but he's not feeling particularly charitable. At the very least, he doesn't want Kyle to avoid him again, not when there's still plenty to talk about. He hasn't even begun to address their last conversation, distracted as they are.]

Maybe their focus is elsewhere, for the moment. [Read: on him. He has nothing to hide, not where this particular conversation from his past is concerned, so although it's obviously distressing, he can bear it. The breach of privacy hasn't yet overridden his desire to collect the samples.] Throw another rock.

[Viktor stomps off after him, determined not to be left behind. The birds re-configure, and the memory continues.]

I had him arrested the day before. He wasn't happy to see me.
