With that chaotic storm of emotion calmed and held at bay, very much like being in the eye of a hurricane, a touch of Viktor's old humor peeks through as he smiles against K's shoulder, though his eyes still remain closed.
"I don't think you would like it very much if I carried you around on my shoulder, and that's the only way we would never be separated."
Which is only half a joke. After the changes that have happened to Viktor's body, he could probably deadlift a semi-truck.
"...but I've still missed this feeling."
Be it a year or a week, Viktor could still feel that there was something that he had but was now missing. But with the hex core influencing his thoughts, something as vital as emotional regulation would have been something that the hex core tried to remove from his mind, or at the very least tried to make it very difficult to remember.
"I am sorry that you can't mark my skin anymore. I know that you liked the idea of getting to do that."
