[ His smile softens and warms when she turns on her video, though it becomes a little strained when she says Viktor would agree - things have been awkward, and he'd be lying if he said a part of him didn't regret telling Viktor about using the Hexcore. He still hasn't told him about the corruption spreading to the Undercity, or what they found in the hexvault... it all feels too tenuous now.
He'll tell her about that later, and also about what Patho-Gen told them - how the Augmenters were originally tested on the terminally ill. Their promise that it would heal Viktor, too. ]
Let's go for a walk later.
[ His smile shifts, more earnest again. He's been out already, trying to get a lay of the land from the maps they were given. But it'd be nice to go together. ]
[ Mel sees the shift, unsure what she's just said that's caused it. Was it about living close by but not together? ...Well, she can see that. She's being noncommittal and vague about it, didn't immediately say yes, let's move in together. But Jayce moves on well enough, and she makes a mental note to ask about it later.
For now, her smile warms for him, real and unfettered. ]
I'd like that. Meet me at the entrance at [ handwaves some random time ]? Maybe we can find a proper map while we're at it.
