Blake understands the urge to avoid the world and sometimes he thinks it's part of the reason he and Viktor can coexist in proximity for so long without knowing everything about each other. Or anything of huge consequence, for that matter. Still, he means to make a change and it starts here.
"We can build some simple machines. Puppets or race cars or somethin' like that. Magic's great an' all, but we've got the scientific edge and I got a feelin' if we give those kids some inspiration, we'll see some pretty cool stuff dreamed up." He almost sounds as hopeful as a kid himself, the lilt of his voice increasing the more he says.
"Besides, I really oughta spend more time with them. Listen to what they're goin' through, see what they really need. I'm, uh— I'm a little guilty of assumin' I know it all and... yeah. Sort of an asshole thing to do." This is not an admission by any means, but Blake does consider just outright telling Viktor he's been running his mouth behind the other man's back over the automoton project. Instead, he'll continue to dance around it, selfishly afraid of severing this important tie.
