I will, he just hates being wrong. Try not to gloat when he does admit to it, it'll make him grumpy.

[ Alucard can be smug and gloat to Jayce, obviously, he already did, but that's all fun and games. Viktor gets grumpy about it although since it's Alucard it won't be for long. He does appreciate everything he's doing. They both do. Jayce settles into the chair, looking at the forest. It's so unexpected to find peace somewhere. ]

Now, maybe. But he never told me about his illness in all our years as partners. I had to find out when he passed out in the lab, and they came and got me in the middle of the night to tell me he was dying. I thought we had a lifetime together.

[ Jayce knows there's nothing to be done about it now, they've talked about it, Viktor apologized for hiding it from him and not thinking about his side of things. But it's still a point of pain. It's not as if apologies can take away that feeling of anger and sorrow and hopelessness. He's never really talked much about it to anyone else. ]

He's letting us help him here and it's why he has a chance of surviving. Thanks to you in particular.
