[ Jayce wonders what exactly Viktor told people of their work at this point to make a stranger this protective of it. His partner is very protective of their ideas, obviously, but this is a pretty high extent when they did a lot of their projects in the open. It was probably the Hexcore. That he would be intensely private about, so he assumes it's the answer. It's so strange to be in his lab and seem like the odd one out.

He gives a long-suffering sigh, seriously he's going to make it a new rule that Viktor has to describe him to everyone now that he's here, this is ridiculous. Jayce is wracking his brain for something helpful to say when she uses magic and he gasps, concern turning into open wonder. Maybe he should be scared but instead he looks more interested, staring up at them. ]

That's amazing. Did you learn to do that here or did you have it before? I've started rudimentary training but to have this amount of control. Is it hard to do so many things at once?

[ Honestly the strangest part of his reaction is probably the almost adoration in his gaze at the witness of any magic. The first time he witnessed it here he got emotional. Seriously don't mind him. It's a problem. And yes he just completely forgot what they were talking about in exchange for admiring her magic, feel free to judge him for it. ]

Oh wait. Sorry. Um. You must be Wanda. [ He's still looking at her magic instead of at her. ] Viktor told me about the magic users here because I'm well, a magic fan. Sorry.

[ Yes he said sorry twice, it's because as good as he is with people, even he is subject to being cringe sometimes, and magic is something that sets him off. But it's probably embarrassing. Except he's hungry for answers at the same time. He has a problem. It's also not that unusual to suspect he's lying considering Jayce is painfully sincere and genuine, which is not frequently seen in people. ]

It's beautiful.

[ He finally forces himself to look back at her. Like a person would. Jayce. ]
