💣 Old!! Haha! Oh, hey, hey kid! You know some signing, right? Can ya show me how to sign old, maybe he can't hear me! You know, cuz of how old he is!

🪖 *long annoyed look*

💣 What!? Ew, don't- don't call me that! Come on, kid, we're leaving...

🪖 *Awkward wave paired with a shy smile. She signs 'day good' before Jinx shoots her a glare and she runs after her.*

*he looks outside* windy..

I was gifted this tea- I’m not much for it personally but it seemed like something that might be to your tastes

* he scoots up beside Viktor at the lab table, rattling the tin of loose-leaf slightly, as if to prove there’s tea in it, though there’s no reason he’d expect you to think he’s lying*

[Viktor uncurls from where he was sitting pouring over some of their notes, taking a few seconds to process what Jayce said.]

"It is windy, do not let it blow you away."

[He smiles softly, reaching out for the tea and turning it to inspect it.]

"Thank you, Jayce. I will make a cup later."

I promise I won’t let the wind do that

[the tea is a mix of typical greens and browns, small flecks of purple are visible in the blend, it smells earthy with a tinge of something one would have a hard time placing, likely from an overseas visitor]

[ Jayce peeks over Viktors shoulder at the notes, hands returning to their typical position- linked behind his back; he’d only been seen to drop this behavior when extremely tired, drunk (which fortunately had only occurred a few times within the premises of the lab) or otherwise affected. Jayce looks over the papers and takes in any corrections or additions that have been made]

“No, not at all. Did you do anything that upset them?”

That was…uh, enlightening. And, look. I’m continually touched by the interest people have in our work, and in Viktor and I ourselves. But the nature of our relationship is personal, and currently undefined. Even to me.

It’s an incredibly overwhelming thought that we might someday end up like the subjects of these portraits, expecting a family of our own. But it’s honestly not likely to happen any time soon, and I’d never want Viktor to feel violated by any artistic interpretations of his body in such an…intimate state.

And just as an FYI, because I’m seeing a lot of inaccuracies: Viktor has two small moles on the outside of his left labia (one is closer to the inside of his thigh), one on his right buttock, and one just above his pubic mound, though this one is harder to see under his hair.
