[ Rich in skill and talent - the flattery earns an attempt at a smile that looks more like a grimace again. ]

Our work was flawed. [ is an understatement. He shakes his head. ]

You're not wrong, we wouldn't replicate it here even if it were possible.

[ He doesn't know what else to say besides that, resisting the urge to glance over at Viktor again. He's been trying to focus on what matters now: they're alive, and they're together. They have time to figure the rest out.

He'd just like to fix things, small things - like this engine, without worrying about causing more damage, at least for a little while longer. ]

[Viktor thinks that anyone might be able to feel the discomfort wafting off Jayce, not just someone like him, able to pull on the magical tether between them. Unsurprisingly, Adrian picks up on their hesitance, both to further discuss their work, and their particular circumstance.]

Not without understanding the nature of this place.

[He's still coming to terms with the repercussions of Hextech. Try to introduce it to a volatile place such as this could bring on disaster even more quickly.]

There is still satisfaction, in work such as this.

[A gesture to the engine of Adrian's vehicle.]

starting to wrap maybe?

[ Adrian gives him a sympathetic look. Even if it was flawed, the attempt and ambition is no less admirable. It seems a shame not to try again... but at the same time, he understands. The cost was too great, and will not diminish if they press further on.

He looks to the engine again. In many ways, it still seems just as mystical to him as any magical item — more so, because it requires no magic to run. A true equalizer indeed. ] I'm glad, then. There is a great deal of value in what you can do, even if it's 'only' this.

[ He doesn't just mean monetarily, but he doesn't feel the need to specify that.

He notices the difference between what Jayce says and what Viktor says, how one sounds almost like a not yet. ] I would be curious to know what you learn of this place. I thought at first that it might be another plane connected to my own, but that seems more unlikely by the day... Do you have 'phones'? Could we trade contact information, perhaps?

yeye I'm good to wrap

[ Jayce would try to reject the idea that he ever looked down on the legacy of his House even though he'd spent his entire life striving for more, unable to accept simply working for the family business. So there's a bittersweet irony to all this - one that he's eager to move on from right now. ]

We do, yeah -

[ His hands are a little greasy, but he's not going to make Viktor go grab his phone and go through the motions of poking the little buttons in his larger hands right now.

He'll wait until Adrian has his phone out before reciting the collection of numbers that belongs to his device. ]

[mechatheism]

[Viktor is fully content to let Jayce handle their shared contact list, plus it is unclear where he's keeping his own phone right now. Maybe there's a pocket in the red and blue cape somewhere, but he makes no moves to retrieve it. He watches the exchange with interest, then offers a nod. The pact is sealed.]
