[ Jayce only nods and gets up - when he makes it to the bathroom he doesn't throw up again, which is good, because this space is just as cramped as the rest of the apartment. Viktor will hear the shower start to run, and Jayce spends too much time beneath the water on the hottest setting he can tolerate - which means said hot water runs out faster than he's expecting. He doesn't get much thinking done by the time he's finished cleaning himself up. He finds some bandages to wrap up his leg again once he dries off, and limps back out into the living space in a towel, not really thrilled at the idea of putting on his filthy clothes again - especially not to lie down on Viktor's couch. It already looks shabby enough without him adding a layer of grime in the shape of himself.

He sleeps - or tries to, his feet hanging off the edge of the sofa, the towel still wrapped around his middle with a thin blanket over him. His thoughts are racing - trying to form some sort of plan. They need more crystals, is the first problem - it took him so long just to find the first batch in the desert. The next best option is finding and dismantling the hammer, if that's even possible in the state it's in. They might be able to locate it with the crystal in his wrist, if they can get them to resonate -

on and on, he goes in his head, until the street below starts waking up, and finally his body gives up. When Viktor sets out in the morning, he'll find a lightly snoring, shirtless man on the sofa. Jayce doesn't wake up when the door opens and shuts, but he eventually does wake up to the smell of food that isn't roasted lizard flesh... ]


... what time is it? [ He's sitting up, groggy, digging the heels of his palms into his eye sockets. Chest bare, the scar over his collarbone is visible, the skin discolored in the same way as his wrist. ]
