Viktor had begun to visit Zaun more often, and it had not escaped Silco's notice. There is little that gets by him, when he has ears and eyes 'round every corner. Viktor stands out. His face is known. He's of some regard and of great value, the work Jinx does is irreplaceable but what leads Silco can offer her will benefit her greatly.
And, of course, what he can take from the topsiders will benefit all of Zaun. Just as they've taken for years.
Viktor is incredibly intelligent, complicated. Wounded. Silco can dig his fingers into that, use it. Viktor's incredible mind needs stimulation, after all. When he presents him with shimmer, it's as a curiosity. To aid his research. Of course he didn't expect Viktor to take it, not after he told him of the small costs that came with the incredible, physical benefits. Of course.
And now Viktor has become a very familiar face, one that has once again found itself in Silco's quarters. He runs his rough, calloused fingers over the shape of Viktor's cheekbones with slow, gentle movements.
"You're shaking." He notes, eyes climbing over the body of the man in front of them before they settle on his face.
