When Viktor returned to his laboratory, found Jayce still in the same way how he left. Of course, because the Defender has no way to change on his situation. He was still wet from sweat and ejaculatum, trembling from the cold, tired and fill with hopeless feeling. When Viktor saw him anger pulsed across his nerves again.
He walked toward Jayce, but totally ignoring him. He was going for Vel'koz, who was still on the floor. Viktor touched him to take care of, but was enough a single touch to feel, he is dead. The little creature was out of all warm, cold as the ice from the ocean, hard and his colour also changed into a deeper tone.
- What had you done with him?
- What do you think what I was ABLE to do with he?
Jayce was right. He was not able to leave his place or even move an inch to any direction. Viktor stayed in silence. He got my wish: die from the cold. Took the dead creature's body and went to the opposite side of the room, opened a little door and threw him in - Jayce was barely able to see the flames what comes from it. Then he went to clean his hands - it took a quite long time for he.
When he was returning again, - calmed but sad about the feeling of loosing his creature, - settled down front of Jayce, removing his mask and crossing his arms and legs while leaned a back against the same place where he was when Jayce saw the same scene.
- What can I do with you now? - Jayce wanted to reply but Viktor did not let him - it won't stay unpunished. - then he finished and walked back to his table to work again on his new experiment.
Jayce don't knew what to do. He wanted to ask him for some human thing, like some clothes or a shower. But he realized, he not in a situation to call for that even for his freedom. He was cold since a day, it made him loosen his strenght. But he dare to risk. It's unacceptable to continue in this way.
- Viktor?! - his voice was low, but enough strong for the other man to hear it
- Hm? - he was deep in his work, deep in his mind
- Can I help you?
- What?! - the surprising Viktor stopped in his movement. - Why would you?
- Because I'm interested
- Hahh!
Short silence.
- You did not checked the gift what I gave for you.
- Hmm, really.. - he finished to screw in a bolt - 'cuz someone commanded me to not.
- You can do it now.. If you want..
Viktor took down his work and sighed. He never ever can stay in silence at once? The Machine Herald reached out for the corner of the desk for his present. It was small, same sized than his one palm. He removed the ribbon before, and the box was also damaged from it. The yellow wrapping paper was torn at some places but it was still perfectly hiding the meaning of it. Viktor removed the wrapping paper with one move by his third armed fingers and opened the little box. It had a little mechanic dog inside of it. Whenever the robot's senses the light what came from the outworld of the box it's activated - like he came to life - settled on four legs, opened his eyes and turned around to face Viktor, making a happy face at the shocked inventor.
- I like better cats.
Jayce almost laughed out loud. Viktor not looking like a kitty-type person. To be honest, he was thinking on the right present for a half day. He wasn't sure if he give a real living animal Viktor will care for it. And he like the metal more than anything else. A little robot pet would be a great company - he thought. It's now seemed to a bad idea.
The strange behavior, what he made, was more funny. He examined the toy dog with such a precision, precisely examined every cable and bolt in it. Jayce thought Viktor searching for fixture options and soon he will destroy it. Finally the inventor settled down the perpetual motion dog on his tigh and the little dog surprisingly stopped.
- How should I reload is batteries? What are his skills?
- Well, it's a robot dog as a pet - for fun. He can help you, like bring things what he can carry and he also can detect the out of place things. But he rather for joy.
- Ahha, ok. - Viktor never will say a single thanks for it, it was like a 'thanks' from he. Then he returned to his work. Jayce shaked his head, the toy dog fell from his tigh.
Viktor always the same.
