Whether felling primals or ambiguously advocating for abdication on a whim, Viktor has a knack for making the impossible sound far too easy. He'd been that way on the First, too. So certain, in the face of so much tragedy, that there was always a path forward to be found. This time, at least, he seems to realize that what he's suggesting is rather impossible.
"We'll get you at least most of an adventure here in Eorzea," he says lightly, a little teasing.
He couldn't keep his promise to the Exarch, but perhaps it is a gift he can offer to someone else. Someone who, it seems, is similarly bound by obligation. Viktor tells himself that's it, and not that the prince reminds him so much of the man he'd lost -- the one he hadn't even really had to begin with.
He was supposed to exercise caution. To keep his guard up and not stumble so quickly into that puppy dog friendship he always tends toward. "And you'll show me an adventure in Allag, down the road?"
