[ Neither Jayce or Viktor are selfish in the way they approach their work. Their intentions are altruistic, and that hasn't changed. Jayce's drive to make his city better is a foundation of who he is, but he's struggled lately in figuring out if he can do that. His study of magic, to start with, will be entirely selfless and focused only on Viktor's health. Some day he'll want to learn it all, but he sees magic as the opposite of destructive. It's beautiful to him. Life-giving. ]
Don't worry about it. If it helps, Viktor insists on locking our important work in his study here. It's really unlikely anyone can get to it without permission.
[ If he has the Hexcore out at one point or another, it probably would only work for Viktor too, so that's unlikely to be shared freely. Jayce on the other hand would probably be oblivious about that sort of thing. It's not good practice, but he's not very guarded in here. Viktor can be guarded enough for the both of them. He does keep all his notes with him in the real world, just in case. ]
What kind of scientists did you know before us?
[ She clearly has some kind of image of scientists she's comparing them to and he can't help but be curious about it. He would say he and Viktor are unique, she's not wrong about that. Jayce pauses at the reference to Viktor's health, and it's impossible not to acknowledge it's bad, but he tries to be careful with his secrets. ]
He has chronic health problems. [ A safe reference without the fatal addition to it. That could be anywhere from his leg and back to his lungs.] I'm hoping to learn healing magic and medicine here, I've been asking around. Just to make it a little easier on him, I don't think there's an easy cure.
[ They'll be working on a new Hexcore to see if that could make a difference, while Jayce quietly studies to maybe ease the problem until they can finish. If he can pause the degradation of the illness, it'll be what they need. ]
We're in each other's pockets so yeah, I've got him covered, but I think he'll appreciate other people worrying about him too. I mean, not the worrying part, he gets grumpy when he feels like he's being coddled, but ... usually it's only me.
[ Jayce is his best friend, the person who loves him best, but also, the only person, unfortunately. He thinks it will be good for Viktor, having other people. ]
