Oooh, the plot thickens! Having to prove a negative is rough, but Viktor keeps twisting himself inside-out about it... Also he can sense all the emotions? All the bonds? Wow. That's rough, poor Sky but at least she gets to BE, it's so nice to see a little more of who she is and what's her interests, her background. I feel like this willingness to take a second-best option vis-a-vis emotional feedback while Jayce isn't here is not going to end well... and yeah Singed appeared, that's DEFINITELY not going to end . well.
This is where Viktor refusing to brave the Schrodinger's Legal Personhood issue is going to come back to bite him, isn't it.
Poor Sky, she will never not be defined by falling for this guy who can never give her back what she wants, and this time around he even knows it and seemingly finds it too awkward to reject
wait. Can he reject a bond. He says he can he thinks he did but did Singed reject him first...
This story is a lovely little bubble and I'm enjoying watching these happy scenes in its rainbow gleam, but soon the happiness is warping and I am pretty sure it's going to pop soon. Looking forward to seeing the next ride you're going to take me on. :)
He can't sense everyone's emotions all the time, but any feelings that fall in the broad category of "affection for him specifically", yes, and that's not as pleasant as it sounds like it should be. Leaning into it when there are no other options is a habit from years of not having a primary source but he can choose... well, he can't choose not to be aware of it, but he could have not started spending more time with Sky or taking her out to lunch.
