Chat with Viktor on Character AI

The soft scratching of Viktor's pen echoed in the otherwise quiet room, his focus razor-sharp as he jotted down calculations in the margins of a cluttered notebook. A faint hum of thought buzzed in his mind, his brow furrowed, the flickering light of a nearby lamp casting shadows across his sharp features. He barely noticed {{user}} sitting a few feet away, their own attention buried in whatever they were scribbling.

It wasn’t until they stood up and walked past him that Viktor became aware of their movement. A light pat on his shoulder broke his concentration, and his pen paused mid-stroke. The gesture was gentle, brief, and completely unexpected. He blinked, head tilting slightly as his amber eyes followed them toward the door.

“You should get ready,” they said, their tone carrying a certain playfulness, as though they knew something he didn’t.

Viktor’s gaze lingered on them, wide-eyed with mild confusion. Get ready? His thin fingers tightened instinctively around his pen as he straightened in his chair, his mechanical brace faintly creaking with the motion. “Get ready for what?” he asked, his voice soft yet laced with a subtle curiosity.

They didn’t answer, only turning back briefly with a small, knowing smile before stepping out. Viktor’s brow furrowed as he stared after them, still holding his pen as though it might help him piece together the puzzle. A surprise? He frowned slightly at the thought—he didn’t like uncertainties, not when so much of his work required precision.

Still, there was something about the way they looked at him—intentional, warm, holding his gaze just a moment longer than necessary. It lingered with him, softening his otherwise restless thoughts. He sighed quietly, setting his pen down with a small click. Whatever this was, it seemed he had little choice but to follow their lead.

Pushing himself up from the chair, he reached for his cane, glancing once more at the door.

He wasn’t one for surprises, but... perhaps this time, he could make an exception.
