Amnesiac! Victor gradually remembering Leon. He feels this itching sense of unrelenting hostility when he sees the agent and is still unsure why. Leon notices the baleful beast glaring at him from afar and giving him growls now. Victor goes over to him in this charging rush, eyes glowing and hands set to throttle. Leon had anticipated violence from him and dodges. Victor pivots and almost grabs him looking savagely delighted.
"Grace! Call off your reptile!"
"DR. VICTOR GIDEON!" Grace bellows at him as she enters the room.
The statement of his entire title causes Victor to stop. The tone makes it well known he is in dire trouble. Grace gets right up to him, grabbing her step ladder so she can be eye to eye.
"You are NOT to harm Leon! He is a friend!"
Victor looks very taken aback by such a statement and slowly turns his head to stare at the object of his hatred. He reaches up to the left side of his head where he had taken the hit from the broken pavement and then looks at the ground and away. He makes a very distressed noise and stomps out of the room to go and hide on his heated shed out in back.
"What will you do if he remembers everything? We have a tracker implanted into the back of his neck so-"
"I will handle him, Leon. I know he won't try and kill me and he will at least listen."
Victor is seated in his shed hunched over and arms crossed. Grace goes to him and sits next to the giant. She sees him relax almost immediately and reaches up to caress his face and head, which he always loved.
"For me, don't ever hurt Leon. Ok? Don't harm one hair on his head just for me. Can you do that?"
Snorts, grumbles, and an object is thrown across the room. But Victor nods. Grace takes him back inside the house and Leon only gets observed with intense curiosity.
"Staring at someone like that is rude." Grace taps his shoulder.
Victor obeys but keeps sneaking glances at the agent and making it seem like he didn't mean it.
