[Even fighting as hard as he can to stay lucid, Viktor fades in and out of pained consciousness. He anchors himself to the sound of Jayce's voice calling out to him. The poor man is so panicked, so distressed, and it breaks Viktor's heart to hear. He tries to hold onto his waking mind, to respond and give Jayce some comfort he's not dying. He most he can do is reach a twitching hand to Jayce's chest when he's scooped into the man's arms. His fingers jolt and dance in place, all jittery impulse from the arcane energy surging through him like so much frayed electrical wire.
The energy has mostly worked itself out, discharging and losing steam, by the time Jayce has rushed them into the back of the caravan and relative safety. Viktor feels his body placed down more gently than he feels he deserves. His eyes finally focus and he blinks rapidly to get involuntary tears away. Jayce looks so destroyed, Viktor lurches and coughs before he can get words to form, gasping-]
I- I'm sorry- Jayce... I- [only one phrase comes to mind, apologetic and foggy. Viktor's wishing to comfort the terror in Jayce's eyes in any way, his odd humor coming through even in such a moment of strife,]
