"Yes," he says. "It was."

To the untrained ear, it may seem as though he intends to leave it just so, no further discussion required. Jayce, on the other hand, may recognize this as further invitation to continue.

It's a position they've shared many times: Jayce tipping out some overflow of feeling while Viktor attends, patiently or otherwise. They've swapped places now and then, but compared to how infrequently Viktor seeks reassurance, Jayce seems insatiable. It's familiar this way, easy to wear almost without noticing, even when he himself is bent out of shape, and despite this aloof simmering, this narrowly contained strife, he is listening.
