[LMFKJSHGK THRONE AS THAT MEME OF THE PARENT AT THE AIRPORT WITH CHILD LEASHES]
Yeah. I heard from Rosamund that you all had something to calm her temporarily, but when I looked at it, there wasn't anything left to find. [Sigh. His DEAD ENDS.
He presses his lips together at the rest, shaking his head slightly.]
It's not over until we deal with the thing that started this in the first place. [Always on alert, of course--how can he relax, when there's still a clear and present danger? But maybe there's been some character growth on his end, too, because he softens and adds--] ...But I think we can afford a little break.
[yeah exactly except for that she's about to drop all the leashes and let people start running
she seems... not shocked or anything, but maybe a little surprised that he suggests they have a break. not in a bad way. just kind of like... huh. character growth.
she smiles a little.]
... Just for now. Before everything starts to unravel. [if he's still holding her hand, she squeezes his.] A moment to savor the victory we did have.
[HONESTLY FAIR. LET HER REST. The crazy genius scientists can't be stopped anyway, might as well let them do what they want.]
Right. [He returns the squeeze, though he lets go after that. They can keep walking side by side, though.] I don't suppose you know what happened with Viktor, do you?
It's not hard to guess who was involved... I was just wondering why he didn't need to go through the same process we did. [Actually he's just kind of annoyed that their experimental lab rat was A SICKLY LITTLE MAN WHO WOULD DIE IN A STRONG BREEZE but he also thinks Viktor very much deserved to be revived so it's... fine...]

I have an idea, but it isn't my secret to tell. You'll have to find that one out yourself, detective.

[wryly.] I also don't know why. He didn't tell me much about it other than it felt a little like getting vomited out of something.

[Teasing... but also. Ugh.]
Every time he describes it, he makes it sound worse.
