Jayce still doesn't believe that they intentionally brought them the same way Viktor does, but it would make some horrible amount of sense if they did it to use them against each other. Viktor's stronger than he is, Jayce is the weak link. If they come to him threatening Viktor's safety, he will fold immediately. They both know that, so it doesn't need to be said. He also knows that Viktor would be furious if he ends up being the leverage, but they can't react until something happens. Jayce wants to take one thing at a time.

The two of them are in for now, they can check in with people in a little while, so Jayce sits on the bed next to Viktor and then just lies back, staring up at the ceiling. This is a question and a topic he has intentionally avoided all this time because he knows they disagree. Home, where he's ruined his life, where Viktor is dying without question? He's in no hurry for that.

"No," he says, finally. "Not until we have a guarantee that we can go back with all our new memories and skills intact. Or your cure, when we finish it." Jayce thinks that is perfectly reasonable. He would give up his healing and magic to go back for Viktor, but only if his life was saved. He will take no chances with Viktor's life. "From what I can tell people are just put back where they were taken. We'd lose all of it." Them.
