[It's not his fault, not really. Viktor knows the reason why Kyle stayed, and he can't begrudge him, even if he selfishly wishes the prison sentence was concluded by now.]

I wouldn't ask you to do that.

[Not when he remained in Thorne explicitly to protect the other Summoned there. Perhaps uncharitably, he thinks that Kyle lost his chance to go to Cadens when he received the warning and decided to stay in Thorne, instead, but the important thing is that he's safe.

He will not remain safe if he makes an ill-planned run for Cadens. Viktor shakes his head emphatically.]

There might be a time that's right. But it's not now.

I know.

[ That he wouldn't ask. That this isn't the right time. It doesn't make him any less frustrated or useless in the moment. He sucks in a breath and holds it for a second, shaking his head when he releases it. The hand around Viktor's shoulder remains in place, not wanting to let him go just yet. ]

Please be careful.

[ Whatever he decides to do. ]

[techmaturgy]

[Viktor is content to sit here until they both have more urgent matters to attend to, but he won't be the one to make the first move. Instead, he decides to take a moment to himself, curling into Kyle's embrace and letting out a slow exhale.]

I'll try.

[That's as much as he can promise, right now, given the fact that he plans to go to Portam Hall.]

As soon as I have news, you'll be the first to know.
