What he doesn’t want is pity, or more of Jayce blaming himself for any of this. Given his status as a healer, however, Viktor is not surprised to hear that Jayce spent most of the day directly caring for the injured, and perhaps more often than not unearthing bodies. He’s proud of him, for doing this, but he wishes desperately that these were not the circumstances. They’re both exhausted and trying to be strong for each other, but the cracks are starting to show.
Viktor, for his part, hurts everywhere, and the worst part is that he doesn’t even want to bother to hide it. Jayce kneels down in front of him and asks to help, but he shakes his head.
“No, I can do it.” He just needs to take this slowly. Methodically. “You helped a lot of people today. It’s time to look after yourself.”
