[Ah, Viktor just talking to a wolf, that's not supposed to be funny and yet it completely is. Palamedes talks to skeletons, when the opportunity presents itself? So he has no room to judge and certainly no room to raise his eyebrows and look faintly amused, and yet! And yet.
—And good god, Rio; the pain of the couch draws his attention back over there (even Rocky in her Ignoring Everyone nest swivels her head around to stare), but it appears undamaged? Actually, he pushes off the wall to go sit on it, where he will maybe stop moving constantly for ten whole minutes. Remains to be seen.]
Right. If I could study corruption under a microscope without being subject to it, I wouldn't mind it at all.
[Which is the shallow interpretation, but he's there with Viktor on the subject of the mind games. He thinks about the hope orbs and that they exist at all, about having to bodily turn strangers around to not look at large bugs or else they'd go insane, about every time he's found himself apropos of this whole place shaking someone by the shoulders to tell them again that the horrors of this place are not their own fault.
Yeah, no. He's there. Trench could definitely improve its overall take. His ton of (rightfully earned, he thinks) confidence in holding himself together gives him plenty of extra time to vibrate out of his skin every time someone he cares about here is hurt or upset, which is basically weekly!
So, does he want to talk about Camilla. Yes.]
Where should I start? [a gesture, please, ask one of those trademark questions] I miss her like a whole piece of me is gone and I have complete and utter faith that she'll force her way back here eventually, so what would you like to know?
