[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?

[NO ONE LISTENS TO THE TWINK WHO THANOS SNAPPED HIS ASSISTANT!!!!!!]
Oh yes, undoubtedly. Clearly!

The words make him frown; a serious sort of one, not a licked puppy sort of one.]
Sometimes, I don't know if progress is worth all the risk... ask someone who has risked a lot for progress.
