I'm used to the Sixth, [he says thoughtfully, after a beat.] Ultimately, I can get used to the differences here. But your specifications aren't fair at all; I prefer the companionship. You're included in that, you know. My list isn't very long, but you're on it.
[He squints again; with his glasses off he can only see about 40% of Viktor's actual expression, but that's enough.]
For as long as I'm still here, I'm afraid you're stuck with me. [annnd glasses back on, hello again] Listening to engine talk is a fair price to pay.
