[If Viktor had to sit and think about how many personal motivational speeches he’s recieved in his life, he’d probably be able to count them on one hand. As such, he doesn’t really understand what Steve is trying to do until about halfway through. Even then, Viktor reads between the lines. Outright asking about the procedure that enhanced his physiology to such a degree seems far too personal, but he can tell that the things Steve is saying are things he’s experienced. He’s giving Viktor advice in the way that he knows how.]
I’m not afraid of pain.
[He’s been living with it for much of his life. Viktor is much more frightened of failure than anything he might have to withstand during the procedure. The touch to his shoulder surprises him a little, though he doesn’t move away or otherwise reject it. Awkward as this is, he can understand and appreciate the sentiment.]
