[This is a difficult lesson he may even learn in time. For now, keeping it casual.]
Yeah, me and two other guys are working together on that. It's good as a future meeting place. [He pauses to think.] I don't think so. We seem to have it well in hand. Need help with your place?
I'm not surprised. You always had a talent for bringing people together.
[ In a tone that sounds like he's perking up: ] That is kind. If you have a moment, I could use help moving a few things. [ He could levitate them. But then, that would go against his plans to get Vander to visit. ]
[Viktor talks like they are old friends and he finds that interesting. It doesn't fit with his memories but Viktor clearly did know him if that memory was any indication.]
Well that is the gift of the gab for you. Always pulling people in.
Oh yeah? Lifting and carrying is something I am profiencent at. When do you want me to do that?
A gift too often overlooked. [ He does feel like he knows Vander, but then, he really needs to get better at reining some of that in.
He's about to respond when his conversation with Jayce unexpectedly happens. Viktor is quiet for a bit longer before he returns. ] I apologize. There is — [ some static, or is that him? He's feeling off. ] Something I need to do first. I appreciate the offer.
Ha, you're just full of compliments. I haven't been ass patted this hard in a long while. [He used amusement to cover over the faint discomfort knowing that Viktor knew him better than he knew the younger man. It was difficult to flip conversations when the other knew more about him, though he could.
He looked at the walkie-talkie when it went quiet, listening for Viktor. Was he hurt? Was someone else there? He grew concerned as the length of time extended, and he was almost about to rise to go in search to be certain Viktor was safe when the younger man returned.]
[ Viktor never gets to respond to this. Mostly because he's an idiot. Vander, you are unintentionally the last person he spoke to before this! Congratulations? ]

I'm fine, just carrying on and helping some people out. How are you? I see you're putting together an infirmary?
