Victor seems much more relaxed post-hug, he's wearing a sunny smile when he peels off.
"That doesn't shock me," he says with affectionate exasperation. "Yuuri's lack of confidence is his greatest enemy. Whenever he can work his way around it, he is magnificent."
He sobers again at Wash's question. Despite what the anon meme might think -- hell, despite what many people who knew him back home might think -- Victor is fully capable of taking things seriously. It's an expression that fits as comfortably on his face as one of his seemingly ever-present smiles.
"I think he almost believes it," he says. "I've made several compelling arguments, but logic isn't necessarily the most useful tool in this situation. But he goes to talk with the therapist here, and I'm smart enough now to know when I need to just shut up and hold him instead of trying to fix it myself."
