[He hums, like hmm, shame, but he dutifully does not start chewing on his own fingers, so there's that. Actually, while he's thinking about it, he shifts to one-handedly empty his pockets of the rest of these cherry bombs and place them over on the other side of the blanket, so that they don't get in the way of being all over Viktor for the foreseeable future.

Foresight. Good planning.]

Now you're showing off again, and to me, who's been impressed the whole time. [The only difficult part of making cool party bombs! Viktor! He wiggles the fizzing sparkler like one might wag an admonishing finger, except entirely without the same effect.] Save some of that for the others.

[Who he assumes do all like Viktor even without bribes, as he's fairly sure either Viktor or someone else would have told him by now if there was a Problem... no news is good news; the meeting of the friends is a success.

He lets the rest of the sparkler fizzle out and then scoots an arm around Viktor's waist, which has the additional effect of some of his weird eyeballs boggling at Viktor again.]

They're good people. Not that I'm saying every one of them would turn down a bribe, but it's hardly necessary.
