Just in case Jayce needs the extra reassurance. Viktor waits patiently, combing fingers through his hair and watching him breathe. He still isn't sure what he's dealing with, exactly, but Viktor has seen this before--shellshocked Undercity denizens in the aftermath of a chemspill or a mine collapse. He hasn't exactly thought of Jayce's history as containing comparable traumas, but now that he thinks about it, of course it does. Watching the flames overtake Libertas surely must have set him off.
All he can really do is wait, providing as grounding a presence as he can until Jayce starts to shift on his lap and seems to come back to himself over the course of a few long moments. When the first thing he does is announce that he's going to be sick, Viktor withdraws his hands and recoils a little. Throwing up from anxiety is his job, thanks.
Jayce manages to hold it in, and the announces what they need to be doing, leaving Viktor looking a little bewildered. "Yes, Jayce. We need to go to Libertas--that's what I've been saying."
