Even though Oliver rolls with it like a champ, Viktor hears in the pauses that maybe he needs some time to process -- or to have this more gently spelled out. Easy enough, save for the part where he woke up changed from the strangest fucking dream.

"It's good to be seen," he responds, smiling coming easier with every reintroduction, with every step in this welcome skin. "And it's good to see you too." He gives Oliver another second before throwing the lifeline. "It's okay if you have questions. I'm happy to answer. We could head to the café around the corner."

Is it his responsibility to spell this out? No, and he's happy to do it for Oliver.
