If there was any reason to cry, this is one of them. The fear of death, and then the reality of life. Jayce doesn't see any reason to stop him, he needs to let this out, it's been stuffed inside of him so long. Release is the only thing that can happen. He is there with him so he doesn't have to be alone with it, like he'll never have to be alone again.

Viktor lived with the knowledge of his death coming far longer than Jayce, who only found out less than a year ago. But after months of them building a real life together, something even bigger to lose, you're going to live is a big statement. A wonderful one. He smiles and leans down at Viktor's request to kiss him again.

"We're going to go on a vacation." This he sounds as sure about as he does anything. He has his confidence back again, considering they achieved a miracle. "Once you're feeling well enough, we're going to Aquila, and we're going to enjoy the sun and beach and not think about things for a few days." Jayce has been planning their getaway for a long time, but it was never the right time. This is going to be the right time. He kisses him again.

"And when we get back, we'll go back to the drawing board with the miners, you'll finish your projects that have been put to the side, and we'll improve Libertas." Relaxation followed by the thing they love best, staying busy.
