The truth is his heart may know where it wants to be, but it's aching too. Getting some fresh air was necessary, his mind has to be clearer if he was going to be able to accomplish anything. That is one of his fears right now, that he isn't at his best, so dragged down by fear and sadness.

"I'm not the only one involved in the surgery, there's a lot of balls flying through the air. We don't have a surgeon we can use in Cadens, so Strange is helping walk us and Nadine through it. There's still testing happening." There's Alucard too and his serum. So many things going on at once. It's why he could take a few minutes to come here, he is not a part of every single thing leading up to it.

Jayce sighs and touches her hair to his cheek, closing his eyes briefly. They're burning so by the time he opens them again, there are tears shimmering. He has never really been ashamed of crying, which is a good thing since he is a sensitive man and prone to it. Anyone would feel that way about this.

"It honestly will be a miracle if we can pull this off, Wanda. Everything is against us. We don't have the right doctors or the safest equipment, we barely know what the Hexcore really is." For someone who tries so hard to be optimistic, he's struggling.

Scientists, for all the logic and reason that they use, tend to confer with terms such as 'miracles' quite often, don't they? von Strücker was guilty of it before—now Jayce. Wanda doesn't know about miracles or not, but she knows that one forges the path one intends to take, for better or for worse.

She glances up at him.

"Don't speak like that." About what could go wrong, about all the things he's uncertain about. "There's something magical about hoping and positive thoughts, silly as it may sound."

Perhaps it was different with her, with her probability magic, but Wanda inherently used wistful thinking to stop the second bomb from exploding in her apartment.

"Just try, okay? And — if you want to separate from the situation for a moment, we could... have something to eat. Something indulgent? Sweet? Spicy?"

we can wrap on this!

Jayce laughs but it's a watery sound. "It's not silly, usually I'm the idealist." And he is. For a scientist, he's remarkably full of hope and able to see what seems impossible. He witnessed a miracle that saved his life, and then he made it happen for himself later on. So he really does usually have a positive attitude. It's just difficult when fear is so powerful in him right now.

He sniffs and nods, looking down at her with his best attempt at a smile. "Please, let's just have a bite. You can tell me what you think I could make Matt for his birthday." A distraction honestly for even a half hour could be good for him. "I was thinking a better walking cane, with some magical enchantments and better metal, I could make his life much easier."
