"Enjoy it while you can. As soon as I'm lucid you'll never hear it from me again."

Not at all an invitation for Jayce to get Viktor to say things while on painkillers, though he's fully aware that he's softer in this moment than he usually is, given the circumstances. Now that said painkillers are kicking in, it's quite nice to settle into the mattress and their closeness. Jacye's warm face fills his vision, and he can't help but feel warm in return.

It's a good idea, to catch up on all the projects they had to sideline due to the urgency of the Hexcore. At the very least it will keep him busy through these weeks of recovery (even if he's also going to ask Jayce to read to him). He blinks slowly, sleepily, a smile pulling at the corners of his mouth at the foresight of it all.

"I think, right now, I'd like to rest."

There will be plenty of time for this, soon. There will be plenty of time for everything.
