[ There's no hiding the excitement that lights up his gaze. She's spent more than enough time with him both in reality and as a god to be able to read her friend the way she is right now. And if there is one thing that can always melt her skepticism, it's the care and affection that she has for her friends.

Even without that however, the possibility that they might go home sparks hope in her. A hope that has never really left even after the years she's spent here; rather, it's been biding its time, waiting for the day that someone was able to find a way for them to go home. She struggles to keep some of that in check as they float quietly in this space that is now his. ]

But how? Even if you look like you're made up of a galaxy, does that mean you gained some sort of...powers with that? Or did you come across some kind of discovery at home?

[He can sense her sadness, and knows that it's a difficult conversation, about whether to go or stay. It feels increasingly like this choice will be upon them soon--but he's never hid his intentions, to return. The existence of the anomaly is exciting to him in the sense that he may not need to say goodbye forever.

He'll create a miniature anomaly, one he can hold in the palm of his hand.]

An anomalous construct, self-replicating and self-annihilating. A pure, unbridled expression of the Arcane. I believe it could be used to travel between timelines. Between different universes, even.

[ The appearance of the anomaly is equal parts wonderous and terrifying at the same time - mostly due to the fact that anything with the word "annihilating" is something she's learned to approach with caution. Still, there's nothing stopping her from gazing at it with childlike wonder. Her hand hovers above it, almost nervous to touch it despite it being a figment of the Horizon. ]

And it's stable?

[ It's not that she's questioning him. Her trust and faith in Viktor has been tested time and time again. Rather, it's because of all this time with him has taught her to question things and examine every possible outcome. ]

It won't hurt the people that use it?

[techmaturgy]

I hope so. Or, I could stabilize it.

[It's a chaotic expression of the arcane, to his understanding, but when he saw it at the Hexgate it did seem like it was under control, at least. Viktor sounds more confident than he feels, because this is as close as he's come to his goal. If he can get back to Piltover, and harness this for himself, the possibilities will be truly endless.]

I have to try. And you know that if I believe it could harm someone else, I would no longer pursue it.
