[Viktor gave him a strange look; like he'd assumed something was very obvious when it clearly was not.]
There should be another wheel in with all of that; if you would like, I am going to need the rotor mechanisms so that I can repurpose them.
[Honestly, he didn't particularly want to say it out loud and elaborate on a matter that Viktor was both inexperienced with and incredibly uncomfortable to consider, but...]
I was not aware the implication remained unclear. I am saying he presumably brought me back against my will out of love, not only affection or attachment.
[Well, if he definitely didn't look up from what he was doing, maybe talking about it would be easier.]
If such a thing existed before that incident--it would have proven a disaster. As far as status was concerned, I was less than nothing beside someone like him. No one would have taken our work seriously again.
