"Some feel if they embrace any part of living here it will mean they have lost their world." Viktor is vaguely sympathetic, though in truth he thinks he might choose the Trench over his own world for a great many reasons. He is also far too practical for that line of thinking, preferring hard truths over gentle lies.

Ah well.

"Truly? I would be fascinated to see how they adapt to sleeper's blood." This. Hm. Admittedly it's a little alarming of an idea, and makes him wonder about that field he saw. The sight of a battle, then? It says a lot about Varré's world in all likelihood. He may be more prepared for the violence than Viktor originally assumed.

But he is happy to nod and head inside as prompted, glancing around with an approving look even if it's sparse. A good start, his own lab wasn't much different for quite some time. "I'd be happy to help where I can. I actually have a few gurneys amongst my supply of scrap metal, if you'd like them. They'll go to better use here, certainly."
