I think that's for the best. Just some personal musing, I guess. [Unlike Scien, who is so fucking business (he has to be, as a scientist doing his line of work), Viktor is very much emotional enough to go on personal thoughtful tangents.
Also, he's an engineer? The only way he makes shit is by going on wild tangents. Imagination. Innovation. There are no tests until you've built the Lego Invention, then there are tests.]
[TUCKS YOU IN AGGRESSIVELY LIKE A BURRITO UNTIL U ARE IMMOBILE.
Dahut bonks against his side, huffing out a light little laugh.]
I like to hear your personal musings. If I were to personally muse back, I think I'd say that it would be better for them if they didn't have to worry about catching anyone - if the ship just took care of it. They're so terribly disorganized...
As someone in that body of his, I think he should be alright, so long as he doesn't get possessed himself. It's better if he is on that side with them.
...I can't imagine trying to write them know-how, or fumbling through explaining to Lucien the technicalities he will have to take back with him.
[NO GOING DOWN SWINGING, NO!!! Dahut is just leaning against Viktor without any moving around like a little sugar demon.]
Mm, that's true... Though I still don't know why certain people are awake on Thursdays when they're not malfunctioning. It sounds like Shouxue just came across Monsieur Sidon, and Monsieur Scien didn't have any violent inclinations toward me until everyone else had passed out...
[SHOMA'S GONNA GET SUPERMURDERED. Anyway, simply and rudely:]
I'd rather die again than try to walk someone who's technologically inept through complex technology.
[They remain upright together........for now. He still has an arm around Dahut, though, hecking affectionate week. Both of his brows rise up.
HE TRIES....... NOT TO.......... No, it's too late. He laughs, and when he does, he tries to cover it up with a hand. AHEMING.]
Let's hope it won't come to that then, or you might be one of the first we put up there in the forefront for them to communicate with. Being as brilliant as you are.
[HECKING AFFECTION WEEK. Dahut will miss it so bad when next week becomes pain week... He also WHINES like a little brat.]
I'd do my very best, of course, and I'd still be a much, much, much better choice than Monsieur Scien- [HELP] -but still! Though I think I'll be fine since Monsieur Lucien favors you.
[DAHUT IS GOING TO PERISH SO BADLY IN THIS WEEK, THE WEEK OF FOOLS OF THE FIRST.]
Well... regardless of that, he really should stop trying to call me. It doesn't matter if there's a week between. It has to be dangerous. I just can't get him to listen to me.
[Shaking his head.]
Maybe we will run into the cure for both the possession and Lucien's stupidity.
[A LITTLE PAIN WON'T STOP HIM. He'll hold hands very carefully...]
Oh, but it's very charming...! The fact that he wants to see you so, sooo badly that he'd take these risks just for a few minutes more by your side...!
[SPARKLING. And then eating another bite of his sugarballs.]
I think one of those things is probably more curable than the other.
[NOOOOOO this is so funny. So funny that he just laughs, clear and bell-like, and then holds the stick with his teeth so he can reach up with both hands and sandwich Viktor's face.]
He's as stubborn as can be and you're just as terrible! What a match. He'll keep denying and you'll keep pushing, and maybe together, you'll just end up locked in benign stagnation.
[No Lucien's just going to be departicled, too, through his own stubbornness.]
[DON'T LAUGH. AAAAA. His face squishes up between Dahut's hands. He has so little fat, his face is SO ANGULAR, but it squishes somehow between the hands. He sort of makes a resigned expression.]
[HE LAUGHS!! He won't laugh over this, though... This angular face is so hilarious to squish. Squishsquish. He'll eventually release his hold, though, and his smile softens a little.]
No, someone like you certainly wouldn't want to. That's why you end up in situations like this, where dangerous things could happen. Risk and progress go hand-in-hand, after all.
[THE SQUISH WASN'T THAT BAD AT ALL!!!! a licked puppy huh]
Mm, I know what you mean. I think... probably no one can stay in our fields without asking themselves questions like that every now and then. If we didn't ask those questions, would we really still be human?

That would be nice. At least... even if we are here and desperately need to find out how to merge back, it isn't... as final as we initially thought.
Very small silver linings.
I just hope they don't lose Shoma... as someone who knows their way around technology.
no subject
Even the smallest of silver linings is a wonderful thing!
[But of course he, king optimism, would think that... He does look a little more concerned at the mention of Shoma, though.]
Mm, I think he's... probably one of the last, if not the last person left on that side with a deep understanding of technology.
[Like sure there are probably some other tech-savvy people out there BUT ARE ANY OF THEM GENIUSES? As a fellow genius, he has a bias.]

There isn't going to be anything left to see me if he keeps this up! It's foolish. I've told him a thousand times just that.
