[This is the worst. He really should have never come to the aquarium, just straight up avoided Temenos like the plague. WHY DID TEMENOS HAVE TO GET THIS SPECIFIC THING TO FOLLOW HIM AROUND?
Since Temenos doesn't pull away, Viktor gently holds onto Temenos's arm to make sure they're both steady, using his crutch to keep himself up. He throws a sad, sympathetic glance down at the creature, then looks again quickly at Temenos.
Oh no. OH NO. He falters, and the falter, his expression, says everything Temenos likely fears before he even says anything.]
anyway. haha. cool. fantastic!!! hate it here. that's the answer he's expecting - and really, that makes it worse. viktor doesn't have to say anything at all, because his expression tells the story.
that's the thing, about being a person who asks questions. sometimes, you find answers you don't want. he closes his eyes, just briefly, long enough to take a deep breath. in... out. clears his throat. ]
... Then, that explains some things.
[ another clear of his throat, because he is violently trying to keep back an absolute explosion of flower petals at this point. what a terrible week to be someone with composure. ]
I take it you don't know where you fought with it?
[He does not think Temenos is okay a single bit. He did not think Temenos was okay before, but after the CYOA? After this? Yeah, there isn't even a thread holding on anymore, there is just a flimsy piece of shitty Scotch tape over the tear.]
Explains what... kind of things...?
[His brows furrow. He does not take his hand off Temenos in case the dude gets taken out by a round of flower puking.]
It was... in a cave. We were getting ready to fight... a man and a woman. Throne called him Claude?
