"I'll hold you to that." G'raha tells him, he keeps his tone light, going along with the joke, but he wishes he really could. It's entirely possible, probable even, that something will happen during their tour of Eorzea and he'll get a glimpse of the adventurous life that Viktor leads, but he also knows that the entourage travelling with them - however pared down he managed to get it - are going to be doing their best to make sure that G'raha stays out of anything even remotely interesting.
Unfortunately, 'but he promised me an adventure while I was off helping to prevent an Umbral Calamity' doesn't really cut it for people like that. The only reason he'd been allowed to enact his plan to travel to the First at all had been because if anything happened to him he would have been sent right back to himself in the Source, none the worse for wear, and even then it had taken some serious arguing about how the best chance for the First was the power of the crystal tower, power that he was the best person to wield.
The kind of coddling he's likely to be subjected to is also the reason that Viktor's question earns a faint huff of laughter and a rueful smile.
"I'm afraid I can't promise you adventure, in Allag there are even more people on hand to make sure their prince doesn't get up to any mischief. Perhaps that would be good for you, though, a chance to actually rest."
Even if G'raha only knew of Viktor from the stories he'd heard, it's plain the man barely takes a moment to himself, and that had become incredibly obvious in the First. He lost track of the number of times he had to insist on Viktor taking a break.
