I prefer having him here with me than the alternative.
[Not that it matters, really. Jayce is a few days ahead of him, which more-or-less proves the existence of alternate timelines. This is not, technically speaking, his version of Jayce. In the end he supposes it doesn't matter, because here there is nothing and no one getting between them. It's selfish of him to enjoy that, but he's only human, after all.
It's something of a relief to have Claude talk about himself, rather than ask questions about Viktor's own experiences, and he listens with interest. He knows a little--that Claude is learned, but ultimately his education was in warcraft. Not necessarily something Viktor has an interest in.
Though it would be easy to lament the way Claude's apparent interest in engineering was set by the wayside, he decides to focus on what he knows.]
