[With his spine freed, reincorporated into him in a new evolution, Viktor's body is suddenly unbound. No longer contained by such a restraint on itself. His skin continues to pulse, overtaken all across and beneath his remaining clothing by the shimmer purple metal. It isn't done shifting, hasn't been fully forged yet. Jayce will recognize the sound of metal creaking and expanding, changing shape.
Viktor's head is slumped at his shoulder, breathless because he suddenly feels no need to breathe at all. A blissful sensation, to him, to have something so arduous for him removed entirely. No longer burdening him. He doesn't know how he manages speaks without air to do so, but he can. There is a buzzing vocal fry overtop his usual accent, though he still has such a soft tone,]
Don't worry- Jayce... [this is THE MOST worrisome scenario possible, but sure, Vik........]
I've never felt... better... [the high has settled in, Viktor thinks, a byproduct of the shimmer. What most people would take it for. To feel powerful, to break through their limits. That's all this is. His limbs lengthen and a new spine forms where the old, fragile one was. Extends out in an arch, Viktor remaining hunched around Jayce despite growing several feet taller.
He's becoming his best self.
Viktor's hands fall over each side of Jayce's shoulders, scaled as proportionally large now to Jayce as Jayce's hand usually fell over Viktor's slim sides. He leans in and of all, inappropriate time and place, it's a near thing to kissing the other man. Instead, Viktor presses his forehead to Jayce's.
It only lasts a moment. A rift forms and his face splits, peels to each side, and is overtaken by a flat mask. The eyes light up, staring back at him with an unreadable expression.]
