Fine- the very initial test will be on some of the insects around just to make sure it does not immediatel blow up in our faces. [and at the very least he's not entirely sure how... real any of these bugs are? the ones the darkbloods make. not that it matters, simply less mess in the long run.] We may want to do it in the bunker, you will be incredibly vulnerable during the testing and that is a more fortified area.
[sort of an added warning there of making sure he understands he will be putting a lot of trust that viktor will not do something horrid, slit his throat and drain him dry, etc. of course he has no plan to do so but still, it is something pal should be aware of, if he hasn't realized already.
still tinkering, though it slows as he listens. he wants to ask him if it's really worth it, putting this much into someone else. he wants to offer him the out of cutting off that care where it stands, so he can focus on his goals without all the muddling of guilt and trauma. maybe he'd still wish to do this clearheaded, maybe he'd see sense.
he does finally glance over when pal gets closer, a little furrow of annoyance in his brow when he implies viktor somehow doesn't have the stomach for this.] Do not be inane, it does not suit you. I would need to record the effects for myself.
[certainly not he wouldn't leave pal to do that alone.
bah.
he finally puts the tinkering down, turning to regard pal fully.] It is not just side effects for you. She may not be anything of what you remember, should this even work. I suppose you would deem it necessary to try anyway.
