[He can only assume Kyle means Rhy and Kell, unless there are others who moved to Nott that Viktor isn't aware of. He knows that he has something of a blind spot, when it comes to the Thorne summoned--with a few exceptions, he doesn't really interest himself in the goings-on of the castle. Now, he should, for a variety of reasons.
Viktor likes the idea of browsing the shops and cafes in Nott or Borrel, just as he enjoys the idea of showing Kyle all the workshops and laboratories in Cadens and Libertas and Aquila. Not possible, of course, but maybe there are some residual memories of doing just that, when Kyle came to stay with him in the Free Cities.]
I think you'd have to drag me out of Thorne's libraries, too, if I ever found myself there.
[He's less an academic, nowadays, but he'd still devour that volume of knowledge, even if they both know it's carefully curated. Viktor isn't naïve about the nature of such taverns, either--he can easily read between the lines, but it's not like he's going to judge Kyle for that sort of thing. He tries to offer a reassuring glance.]

It's new for me, too. But I like it.
