"Of course, love." Jayce kisses the top of Viktor's head gently and he has to move away, if only to get said drugs. He's not leaving his sightline at least, he has it all nearby and easy for them.

He's glad that Viktor is not going to argue about them; pain relief is very necessary considering, and he has lived for so long with pain. It seems unfair, like now may be the start of time that he can be in less pain. His leg and back will always be this way, but with his illness cured, it doesn't have to be the same.

Jayce is on top of pain management and everything he'll need medically, and monitoring his health to a T. He has always been methodical, but nothing is more necessary than handling this post-op perfectly. Otherwise it would have been pointless. He measures out the correct dosage carefully, coming back to him.

"We did, V. It's not just me being optimistic. All the data is irrefutable." And he knows when it comes to Viktor, data helps more than feelings. "The Hexcore is locked up, when you make it through tonight and we have clean readings tomorrow, I'm taking care of it." It'll be enough days past the surgery to be positive of their findings.

He is wary though, not having forgotten Viktor's reaction to it either.
