I'll remember that--thank you, again.
He is a brilliant mind, and has been a very good friend to me for many years. He is also...how would you say it? Kind of a lot.

Of course. Give yourself a few hours.
"A lot" is a very nice way of putting it, but yes. That's the impression I got. And I can see why you're an excellent partnership.

He means well, but he does get in over his head. When we met, he was facing expulsion from the Academy for illegal experimentation.
I was sent to consolidate his research and have him arrested. Very embarrassing for him, if you can imagine.

Yes, especially since that clearly went precisely as it was supposed to and you didn't both usher in a technological revolution.
Balance is important.

It was, admittedly, a slightly dramatic way to submit my letter of resignation to the Dean. Luckily, Jayce's Hextech theory proved to be correct. You know the rest.
Slightly.
He seems a good friend. I'm glad that you've been reunited here, even if I think I spoke to two people based on that volume of energy. Is he always so forthcoming with personal details?

It was unexpected, but not unwelcome. And, yes. He's always like this.
.....Who just TELLS people about family and childhood trauma?
It was a formative experience, for him. Seeing firsthand what magic could do--it changed his life. Charted the course of his entire career. I believe some part of him thinks he still needs to explain himself, as though others aren't going to believe it unless he tells them exactly what happened.
That's....
That perspective makes sense. I am just accustomed to something like that being a little bit more private, or at least not something brought up when meeting someone for the first time.
[HE FEELS VERY WEIRD ABOUT SHARING PERSONAL DETAILS.]

Believe me, I understand. [read: I am the same] He's very forthcoming, but I've always found his passion to be...inspiring.
Thank you.
It's a lot to process, but not in a negative way. And I know what to expect from here on out.

It was an adjustment for me as well, but I've never regretted our partnership.
He spoke highly of you, in case you were wondering.
I think he was mostly surprised you found a like minded associate so quickly.
Oh, yes, because I'm so incapable of making those connections back home.
[He's rolling his eyes! But also it's true Viktor has no friends.]

I can't judge either way.
[He's also terrible at it so? yay???]
He worries. It's unnecessary.
I'm glad the two of you got along.

I'm generally in agreement with that, especially when
it's adults looking after themselves.
He seems impossible not to get along with.

He's fairly magnetic, in that way. What else did you talk about?
[Nosy!!!]

Are you asking because this is information you already know the answer to, or something you're genuinely curious about?
The latter, but I understand if you'd rather not. I suppose it's also an opportunity for you to ask me about anything he may have mentioned, in turn, if only for clarification's sake.
Much of what we spoke about was essentially his perspective on what you have already told me regarding your home sphere and hextech. Where things stand here in comparison to it, really. Nothing too technical. (Yet. I'm sure he'll show up at the Hall in a few days.)
