Jayce knows it's only a matter of time before all of him is worn out. His strength and endurance are impressive, so he may last longer than most, but as Viktor's pointing out, it's inevitable. Even Jayce can break. He feels better once he can see Viktor breathing easier again, it will make going back to the hospital for a little while less fraught with concern.

He closes his eyes briefly at the touch on his face, he always feels better when Viktor's close to him, giving him affection. The small gestures are sometimes the best ones.

"V, we're always going to be needed. But if we collapse, we're no good for the cause. They'll have to take care of us instead of other people." That is what Jayce has been told several times, so this isn't necessarily coming from him. He probably would go until he dropped, just as Viktor would, but healing and medic work, it is dangerous to do it while exhausted.

"I'm not being given a choice so I'd like it if you would come with me. Make sure I don't pass out while washing off and drown." He smiles faintly at that and leans forward to kiss him gently.

"Working on your lungs all the time turned out to be really helpful today. Dean almost died of smoke inhalation out there."
