When K thought their evening might conclude with going to bed like usual, getting dressed again hadn't seemed necessary. But Viktor no longer needs to eat, and presumably won't sleep either, so they probably should get dressed at some point. But in the meantime K's happy to hold him and offer what comfort he can. After a moment he reaches up to lightly finger-comb Viktor's damp hair.
"It's nice to feel needed," he admits. Especially when he's felt so disposable and replaceable his entire life. Even in his prior relationships he struggled with feeling superfluous. A part-time partner among many, never good enough for full commitment. And maybe he still isn't, but the fact Viktor chooses to share a Familiar bond with only him has to mean something. It's significant to K.
"And that's something you can relearn. It's difficult and overwhelming right now, but I don't think it'll always be like this. You need time to acclimate to... being yourself again. And I'll do anything I can to help. Just tell me what you need."
