@MajestyVik [Jayce doesn't respond, only watches Viktor as he stretches. It reminds him of a small, white cat. Instead of staring any longer, he decides to get up and pour more tea for the Prince. Their fingers brush slightly as he hands him the cup.]

So, how are you feeling?

[Jayce Talis @CommonJayce]

My, my, Viktor, you are humiliating my rook.

[Jayce laughs softly as he moves the piece, which Viktor's queen is currently cornering.]

[Jayce Talis @CommonJayce]

@MajestyVik [Jayce hums and nods. By now, he had learned to take the defeat with humor. He was aware he had improved, but it would take more than that to catch up with someone as talented as Viktor.]

Rematch?

[Jayce Talis @CommonJayce]

@MajestyVik [Jayce glances at Viktor, seeing his eyes shine with that mischievous gleam, the one he always gets whenever he gets to show off his skills. Looking away and back to the board takes more effort than he is willing to admit.]

[Jayce Talis @CommonJayce]

@jayceatalis @roseeCHIP @MajestyVik No, I do not.

[Jayce Talis @CommonJayce]

@jayceatalis @roseeCHIP @MajestyVik And then you instructed him to call me names. Tsk.

[Jayce Talis @CommonJayce]

@roseeCHIP @jayceatalis @MajestyVik That might be much needed, thank you.

[Jayce Talis @CommonJayce]

@jayceatalis @roseeCHIP @MajestyVik Yes, you. I have told you to stay clear from him.

[Jayce Talis @CommonJayce]

@jayceatalis @roseeCHIP @MajestyVik I see you are bothering him again.

[Jayce Talis @CommonJayce]

It seems like I learned a thing or two, ey?

[Viktor Reveck @MajestyVik]

[Viktor sighs heavily as yet another test run on the machine fails. He glances at the clean yet boiling water in the container as his hands drop in defeat. Giving up wasn't entirely in his plans for this project, but he sure considered it from time to time.]

[Jayce Talis @CommonJayce]

@MajestyVik [Jayce shrugs with a smirk. He can hear the humor in Viktor's voice.]

If it's for the greater good.

[He would never have suggested something like that, but seeing Viktor so defeated... He wanted to do anything to help.]

[Jayce Talis @CommonJayce]

@MajestyVik ["We"? Jayce smirks at the choice of words but says nothing on the matter.]

I'm sure you have done plenty of things that His Majesty does not approve of. One more will not make a difference.

[Jayce Talis @CommonJayce]

@MajestyVik Back in Piltover I saw machines that used air as their cooling system. I havent seen how that works from the inside, but all across the city you can see factories with cooling towers. I suppose they are similar to a chimney, but instead of expelling hot air, it pulls in cool air.

[Jayce Talis @CommonJayce]

@MajestyVik But, what if there were a way to pull cold air from the roof and into the machine?

[Jayce Talis @CommonJayce]

@MajestyVik [Jayce hums as he skims through the document.]

I see...

[His eyes go between the papers in front of him and the machine. There had to be a way to do this. He knew he should not be interfering in this but...]

What about air?

[Jayce Talis @CommonJayce]

@MajestyVik [Jayce frowns]

So nothing has ever worked?

[Jayce Talis @CommonJayce]

@MajestyVik [Jayce nods slowly and walks to Viktor's worktable, where different papers lie. He skims through them and picks one up.]

So... You are using the water itself as the machine's cooling system?

[Jayce Talis @CommonJayce]

@MajestyVik [He asks, examining the machine. He glances at the dirty water in one of the containers, dark, muddy, with remains of trash and oil. His stomach is in knots at the idea of Piltover being responsible for that.]

[Jayce Talis @CommonJayce]

@MajestyVik [Slowly, he approaches. Viktor had told him he was allowed to be in the room as long as he stayed in a corner, but his own curiosity got the best of him.]

No luck yet?
