In a way, Viktor's treatment is one of privilege as far as Silco's usual approach is concerned. He remains patient and unaffected as Viktor seemingly struggles with his folder and leafs through his notes. Anyone else, Silco might've taunted by tapping his fingers or frowning to make them sweat more.
In contrast, he seems to have the respect for Viktor enough to give him space to find his thoughts. He still looks suspicious as Viktor calls his attention over, but it's subtle and brief. He leans over, body so close to Viktor he's almost brushing against him as he looks past him just to see if he might flinch.
He laughs, a surprised bark that sounds humourless. There's genuine amusement on his lips as they curl into a polite smile.
"It's pure." He says, simply. "Unfiltered." He adds, and he adds nothing more. Viktor is a clever man, he's sure he can ascertain that Shimmer doesn't come cheap and the resources are finite.
"I didn't expect you'd use it on yourself. You're braver than you look." Or dumber. But that's still up for debate as far as he's concerned.
