[ It surprises a smile onto Viktor's lips, unexpected but not unwelcome. When he'd asked Jayce to call him Viktor, it hadn't been with an ulterior motive to receive the same courtesy. ]
It would be my pleasure, Jayce. [ A simple name, yet it sends a jolt of electricity down Viktor's spine. Oddly, he feels like he's said the name a thousand times despite never knowing another person called Jayce. He falls into contemplation as the warmth he'd felt before fizzles into cool confusion. Luckily, he doesn't have to focus too hard on the simplicity of riding a horse, and the steady plodding of her walk is soothing to his racing mind.
It doesn't stop him from seeing Jayce's smile that hits him with the force of a thousand suns. It's a smile of something stronger than disbelief—belief that had been proven despite the odds. For someone who came across as somewhat cold upon meeting, Jayce is giving Viktor an awful lot of glimpses at the warmth within.
Clearing his throat, feeling as though he'd witnessed a private reaction full of emotions that he shouldn't be privy to, Viktor turns back towards Jayce and rides right up next to where he stands. ] The ride feels smooth, and I'm guessing she looks good, too.
