"I wasn't sure you'd thought about it," Viktor admits where he wishes a joke had been.
This conversation was coming, one way or another. Viktor was prepared, he thought, for anything. Not to be invisibly sequestered. In the middle of a crowded room.
Maybe he could call Klaus over. He'd risk chaos, but save himself the embarrassment of being rejected in public.
His outstretched hand retreats and so does Viktor behind crossed arms. A familiar sight for sure, lacking only the convenient curtain of hair. Noplace to hide. Unable to run. This conversation has to happen now, before they can solve Viktor's problem.
Whether by patience or stubborn force of will, Viktor finds courage again.
"You're so careful about this -- u-us." Damn. Perfectly steady until now. "I thought maybe it was too weird for you."
