[Okay, the gun/sword/swordgun is going away. He’s still wary of a potential confrontation, but Thancred had seemed entirely reasonable, at their Summit meeting, so he relaxes his posture a little.]
Oh, she’s not a pet.
[Said like that’s supposed to explain, well. Anything. Even Viktor comes off as a little unsure, like he hasn’t quite decided what to make of any of this. Perhaps he’s still a little overwhelmed that he was able to create an ostensibly living being that acts independently of himself. There’s really no good way to explain any of this, so he just decides to act as if all of this is the most natural thing in the world.
Rio, for her part, has decided that Thancred is no longer a threat—she inches forward, and if Thancred doesn’t stop her, she is absolutely going to stick out horrible monster tongue into his personal space an apparent bid to figure out just who or what she’s dealing with (you know, by licking him). Viktor is only tacitly paying attention to this.]
Above? Yes, though I’m afraid you’ll find it’s fairly empty. A city is a lot of work.
[More a backdrop than anything. Everything important is contained within the wall, and below, in these caverns.]
