Summary
“…How?” Jayce asks brusquely at last, putting all of his weariness and resentment in one single word, and both the question and the tone give Viktor a moment of pause.
“...What do you mean?” inquires Viktor casually, in the same airy inflection he has used so far, but Jayce has already spotted the familiar spark of intrigue in his eyes, a fundamental part of his humanity that Viktor still hasn’t managed to put aside.
“You want us to be partners again, yet you’re the one that walked away first.” bites back Jayce harshly, instinctively using the hurt hidden in his heart like a sharp blade, and a brief flare of satisfaction warms him up when he sees Viktor’s eyes widen slightly, an unexpected sign of weakness that Jayce latches on like a hook on supple flesh. “If you want us to do this, then we have to be equals. I have my reservations on your plans for the future, and I want you to consider them.”
(Inside the Council's chamber, Jayce decides to take a chance on Viktor. It doesn't change everything, but just enough to save them both.)
