[HANDSHAKE EMOJI. He'll watch him flex his lil fingies and hand, though.]
Ah... Something that's bothered other people before then, I'm guessing? Well! If it makes you feel any better, I hardly think it'll stand out against what's going on here.
[The kidnapping... the 3 meter tall fish man......]
[DON'T HANDSHAKE HIS HAND IS WEIRD shakes with the other one]
Not... many people have seen it since... the accident. [He curls the hand back to his chest like he's ashamed of it, wants to hide it inside his body.] You... have a point.
[THE FUCKING FISH GUY. That... Viktor does not think is weird because Arcane has animal people in it, GOD.
BUT!!! There's no Jayce, that he's found. (Unfortunate, Jayce was the charisma.) There's no Mel, or... Heimerdinger (don't laugh, aki), or Singed. No one here knows what happened to his hand... so they won't question it the same way those back home would, right? Right.]
[DON'T JUST SWITCH MY HANDSHAKE ALSO DONT FUCKING CALL ME OUT ABOUT THE NAMES NOOOO NOT HEIMERDINGER AND FUCKING SINGED.
This poor man looks like he's truly going through it though, good lord. His smile and tone are both soft in their understanding; a touch sympathetic, but not pitying.]
It sounds like it's a painful memory for you, though, right? Even if no one would really notice, it's probably not comfortable having to look at it, or other people looking at it...
It's fine. IT'S FINE. He looks anywhere BUT Dahut at the first part, but finally relents to look afterward. HE LOOKS SO ASHAMED? Why.]
If I could get my clothes... I had a glove, so... As long as we get those back, or find a place where I could get another, it should be fine. [Shaking his head...] It's terrible to... feel your body wasting away on you.
A reluctant looks comes to his face before fading. He checks around them again, tucks the weirdo ass hand under the opposite one by the armpit.]
I don't know what there is to say really. Bad luck of the draw. My leg has been this way since I was born. [No, that wasn't all, was it? He frowns.] It was the water.
The water in the Undercity where I grew up was polluted.
[DON'T JUST STICK THE HAND UNDER THE ARMPIT TO HIDE IT.]
Ah. [What is with all the people here and their pollutedass water.] And the water had this terrible impact on your health? Is there anything that can be done for it...?
If it's a change that was made by water, then it's probably left some trace of itself in your blood or DNA. If I had the right tools, a blood or tissue sample would let me take a little peek!
[He's going to run this man's weird DNA through so many tests if he can get his hands on it and also get access to a lab...]
Having a little more data could be a good thing if you want to figure out a way to reverse the effects.
[IT'S FINE? IT IS JUST SOME COUGHING, WOW. He covers his mouth, but the bark doesn't sound too great really. He shakes his head and waves his other freak ass hand dismissively.
NOT THEM BEING BY THE VENDING MACHINE WHILE THIS HAPPENS.
Fortunately, the coughing doesn't last extremely long. He lowers his hand and curls it into a fist. IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE IT TOOK A LOT OUT OF HIM. He's Souji now.]
[HE REALLY IS SOUJI. YOU REALLY TOOK THE TB RIGHT OUT OF MY HANDS HELLO. THIS IS SO FUNNY. Dahut's just there sweating internally and looking externally concerned because that was concerning.]
Are you certain? Do you need to have a seat for a moment? It looks like that took a bit out of you.
[STARTS SWINGING but anyway it's almost time for new pc monday so ill let you go for now eyes narrow...]
No need to worry about worrying me! As long as you rest a little, that's the important part... Just let me know when you'd like to head back and we can go, alright? And if I can get you anything else, let me know, too!

no subject
Ah... You don't have to answer, of course, but-- it's not just scarring from an accident, then? Is it actively worsening...?
no subject
Oh--no, I... [He glances at the hand, flexing the fingers.] This happened in a research accident.
My body had been failing long before that.
no subject
Jesus though why is this man falling apart by multiple definitions.]
I see, I see... Do you mind if I ask a little more about that, then?
no subject

Anyway, he has a very too long pause after the question. He looks away.]
...No. Not that I'm aware. It is just... something that is.
no subject
If I can get access to the right tools, would you mind if I took a look?
[Dahut who is neither a doctor nor a nutritionist but a genius that specializes in WHACKY CLONING.]
no subject
Again, he glances at his hand, and then at Dahut. He is looking at Dahut like he knows Dahut is neither a doctor nor a nutritionist.]
What do you mean by "take a look"?
[CUT OFF HIS HAND?]
no subject
ALSO DON'T ASSIGN HIM HAND CHOPPY HELP!!!!]

Viktor's mouth becomes a tight line. Dahut is being so nice about his freak yaoi hand.]
Yes... right. I guess I don't mind if you want to look. I don't think...
[Oh.
He starts coughing.]
no subject
Anyway HELLO!! He's just immediately sidetracked from whatever he'd been about to say by this COUGH in his NON-TB HOUSE.]
Ah—! Are you alright...?!
[LOOKING AROUND FOR A TOWEL OR SOMETHING HELP.]
no subject

S-Sorry. I'm alright.
no subject

no subject
Anyway, he looks at his hand and curls it against himself again. He's shaking his head even if he looks like SHIT.]
I'm... I'm alright. You don't... have to worry.
no subject
I'm afraid I'll worry at least a little, monsieur! All of this strange travel surely isn't doing you any favors either, I'd imagine...
no subject
I'll just... rest in the chamber... when we go back. It happens from time to time, it's fine. I didn't mean... to worry you.
no subject
No need to worry about worrying me! As long as you rest a little, that's the important part... Just let me know when you'd like to head back and we can go, alright? And if I can get you anything else, let me know, too!
