[Viktor opens his mouth. Closes it. This is the second time he's heard about the endless stairs, and it both has him wondering what kind of person would imagine up such a thing, and why Thancred, and Geralt, and Jaskier, apparently, were so insistent on seeing what was at the top. Curiosity for curiosity's sake, perhaps?]

You know, you're the second person to tell me about that.

[It must have left an impression--Viktor, for his part, thinks that if he encountered that many stairs in one place, he would simply. Not.]

Was there anything stopping you from simply willing yourself to the top?

[That's at least partly a genuine question. If one can exert certain powers over other Summoned while in a domain, well. He wants to know about it.]
