Neither did I, so I'm speculating. I don't want any of you to suffer. If Hawke's plant helps, that's great, but we need to figure out what could be wrong. At Amrita Academy, there might be someone who knows what causes the migraines. Or perhaps Mel's healing can help you?
[ Of course, Jayce is now trying to find options and solutions, even if he's not sure what the problem is. That's just how he is, he needs to try and do something. ]
If that river is so powerful, you both should soak in it. I can't go there easily since I am often unable to cross Exile.
It would be more beneficial to know what the source of the problem is, I'll grant you. Perhaps I could ask that K allows himself to be examined at Amarita for his migraines if I allow the same thing about my headaches.
I think that anything else, be it Mel's magic or the Encantado River, would only be a temporary solution.
Yes, of course. But until we figure it out, stopping your suffering is what matters most. Maybe. I don't know if he'll like that. Please let me know what he says if you ask him.
Yes. I really thought this was over.
[ 'This', being Viktor in pain. At risk. That's why Jayce is upset, his partner was hurt, and he's once again not sure what to do about it. ]
[ Yeah, you might want to be clear about that Jayce. Because right now Viktor is cursing at Hawke more in his thoughts. Once again he feels like a disappointment thanks to something he can't control. ]
I'm sorry, Jayce. This was why I didn't say anything. I didn't want to cause you to worry.
Yes well, allow me to rephrase; I didn't want to cause you to worry about me.
[ Knowing the difference between others worrying about his safety and him being the source of their stress is something that Victor still struggles with. ]
[ Jayce's face softens at that, and now it really is a shame Viktor can see it. ]
It's a difficult thing, I know. No one probably likes to talk about these things. And I know I can get a bit too much of a mother hen sometimes too, I'm sorry for that. Just want you to have a good, happy life.

[ It is not Hawke's fault for mentioning it, either, the conversation simply turned that way. ]
You know me, I always worry. Kind of an expert on that, actually.

That said, I'd rather you tell me when you're not feeling well.
[ If Jayce can't fix what causes the pain, at least he wants to try and help to offer some comfort. ]
no subject
[ Over the years he's been less and less able to hide it from Jayce, but that doesn't stop him from trying. ]

[ Preferable free of pain, if possible. ]

Do you think that I'm not having one now? I've dreamed all my life of being able to go do simple things that other people do, like walking.
[ Like dating. ]
no subject
[ Dating is very good. ]
Since walking is on the table, what do you say we go a step further and try going dancing?
no subject
[ Viktor's kneejerk reaction is to hide, but if Jayce wanted to do it... ]
no subject
[ He wants to dance with Viktor, he doesn't need an audience to make his partner uncomfortable. ]
It was nice when we did it at Tony's party, on the balcony.
