Jayce's guilt over what happened died when he and Jaskier had their talk and it meant so much to him, that the bard was so forgiving and then they were even bonding a little. It soothed that anxiety and he already has figured out ways to make up for it, once they get past the full brunt of all of this. He doesn't feel responsible for this attack, only one person is responsible for that. But he is definitely heartbroken and heartsick, after everything he's seen.
"I helped some kids too. I told them stories about Rio while fixing broken bones and injuries. I kind of did a stupid thing and used an illusion spell to show her. But they loved her."
It barely took any magical energy, it was an academic spell so incredibly easy, anyone could have made a cute little illusion spell, but since Jayce was supposed to be withholding his power, maybe he knows it wasn't the smartest move. But it made children smile during a really bad situation, so it probably was worth it. Jayce gets along well with kids, although it's difficult to look at any of them without thinking about the one he killed. At the moment he's too tired to be mad at himself about that, at least.
"Looking after you is looking after me, we're partners." Jayce kisses his forehead but he isn't going to push it, if Viktor wants to do it, he'll let him. "I think I have one of Nadine's potions around here." Not the expansive ones that they brought with them to Libertas, they're all used, but the normal ones that she gives for aches and pains. It won't fix the situation, but it might help.
He knows where it is and brings it to Viktor, handing it over before going to the bathroom to keep an eye on the bath before it overflows. It'll give Viktor time to work on himself before joining him inside.
