[Caitlyn doesn't actually expect Viktor to agree. At least, not that easily. She's learned the hard way, just how stubborn these Undercity people are. There's something about them, that just want to fight for everything. It must come with the territory, of how they had to fight to survive in Zaun, and in his case, fight to have a place in Piltover too.]
You-- really? [Wait, no, don't let him see your surprise!!]
I mean-- Excellent! I can reach out to Claude, or-- if you feel like it, we can go there now?
[ too late, he has already witnessed the surprise — and while he does make a face at that, it's mostly out of embarrassment, because about half of him is saying that he should have fought against it harder, simply out of principle, while the other half thinks he shouldn't have given her cause for surprise, at all... and the end result is this, the awkward way he stares at the floor for a moment before sighing. ]
Let's go before I change my mind, [ he mutters, mostly because if something good comes out of this, it might as well be caitlyn being happy that he's, ugh, taking care of himself or something like that.
and then, because once again his words came out sharper than intended, ] ... I do appreciate your help. And care. Just — [ he waves his hand haphazardly, hoping to indicate something along the lines of if i die here i will come back so what does it really matter, or the last time i tried to do something about my illness it killed a person. ]
