[Yeah, the cat no longer stalks the city streets because Viktor has inadvertently adopted it, but that's neither here nor there. He doesn't speak up right away, mostly because he's not sure when he'll have the chance to be here again, and he wants to take in all of the work--Aleksander is an inventor, like him, so he feels this is a worthwhile connection to make.
Of course, when the man himself seems more concerned about the bird than anything else, he tempers his expectations. The clockwork birds are intriguing, at least from an "I can take this apart" standpoint. Viktor selects the alarm clock.]
You know, I'm an engineer myself. [He's not sure how much it's going to matter, when Aleksander seems so singularly focused on Nicola, but he might as well shoot his shot.] If you are ever in need of assistance.
[Viktor sort of side-eyes Jaskier's exclamation. At least someone here seems to be (unironically???) having a good time. Sorry to everyone else.]
