"Good, then you're in agreement that we should go home in an hour or so, after finishing up we're doing, get some rest, and come back when we're a little more recovered."
See, perfectly reasonable. Checkmate for them both, so they don't keep going on about how they can take it or how they can't leave because they're needed. Honestly, they both are more inclined to do it on behalf of the other person than themselves. It's typical. But if they take a little time after this to finish their projects, they'll feel better about not leaving at the drop of a hat.
Jayce runs his fingers through Viktor's dirty hair, not that his is any better at the moment. It has ash and dirt in it, he meant it when he said he needed to wash up. The idea of being clean and resting for a little while with Viktor sounds incredible at the moment. And they'll be back at it soon enough. Neither of them is lazy by any means.
"He will, but I have to tell you, V, he's lucky Ciri ran to get me and I was nearby. He wasn't breathing right but was acting like he was okay, it would've been easy to miss until his lungs gave out." Jayce thought it was probably mostly that Dean wanted to pretend he was fine, gasping through it, but Jayce had to move quickly and efficiently for a reason. "I've always done this gently with you, but I couldn't with him, I had to get the smoke out. Pretty sure he wanted to punch me a little."
