[He doesn’t seem pressed by the fact that there’s a clear supernatural element involved, almost as if he has some experience in the matter. What does get his attention is the reference to a bond—Viktor wonders if that connection, like others, has been supplanted by a link to the Singularity. If Astarion would notice such a thing, in the (presumed) absence of said vampire lord. The intent to murder, well. He’ll unpack that later.
All of that, however, seems far too personal to address, not when so many of his other questions are being deftly sidestepped. Viktor pulls back from the microscope and invites Astarion to have a look for himself, not that he would be able to discern what he’s seeing without supplemental explanation.]
I don’t see anything here too different from the sample of an ordinary human. A bit…deoxygenated. A more thorough study of your physiology might be required.
[Though he’s not so presumptuous to assume that Astarion will permit that—he phrases it like it’s an option he can pursue or decline. No obligation.]
Does your blood have any particular properties? Regenerative ability, perhaps?
