[Viktor very nearly protests, gets as far as his mouth opening, before clicking his teeth to close off the impulse. Between the two of them, Jayce seems to be in the worse shape. He's injured, frantic, and not least of all caked in filth... Yet, Viktor knows the man and as such, knows that Jayce needs to feel useful. He's a work horse of a man, to a fault. They both could be...
So, allowing Jayce to do this task for him is something Viktor can do. Despite the struggle, despite the strain, it might put Jayce's mind at ease to perform this service. Viktor sits with his legs slung over the tailgate of the van, doors flung wide, and just... watches Jayce go fetch the cane and hammer.
When it is handed back to him, he'll pat Jayce's knuckles lightly before taking it.]
Thank you, Jayce. [simple and sincerely spoken, Viktor not one to mince words nor to flatter unnecessarily. He props the crutch alongside his legs and looks to Jayce taking a seat besides him.]
... have you gone into the center Convoy yet? It has amenities. We should go together. [Viktor doesn't think Jayce should be separated from him now, so he can repay the man with whatever anchoring his presence provides.]
