VIKTOR
~It's like a panic attack, you know, like I can't even breath.~

Viktor tucked his bottom lip under his top row of gleaming white teeth, he'd spotted the young man in the distance who had been drawing Viktor and for whatever reason it made Viktor smile, he waited until he caught Haruko's eye again before Viktor winked at Haruko, turning back to his own devices.

Viktor seemed startled when his favorite teacher sat back down in front of him, he'd been dreaming of scales and vibrato and had forgotten himself. Viktor's lips folded in a smile when his eyes caught Renard once more- hot chocolate wielded in hand. "There he is, always with de chocolate." Viktor had unintentionally spoken English, his German accent was so strong that Viktor himself heard it and turned a shade of pink, sometimes it was difficult to make the transition between the three languages, two of which he wasn't very good at. "I might think you were German with all de chocolates you eat."

"Mm." Viktor shifted a bit uncomfortably at the question. The long haired man would have loved a drink, but he felt sick with nerves and thought he might have to excuse himself for some air. "Nein-" Viktor rose a hand with a small smile and a shake of the head. "To be honest I am not feeling good." Viktor might have been more colorful with his vocabulary if he weren't speaking English, but his earlier mistake made him want to continue speaking it. The man wouldn't have been so open with anyone- "I feel as though I feeled-" He paused and scrunched his nose. "I feel as though I felt during the Junior recital." He corrected himself. "You remember, ja? De shakes and de heavy breathing- I would not have been able to continue without your help, you got my inhaler."

Viktor pressed both hands to the table at the question and smiled. "My holidays were good, thanks. I spent dem playing piano of course." His face softened. "I can only hope dat you found wonderful times during the holiday, ja?" All the while he fumbled with his buttonless collar, as though playing with it would help keep it closed or collected.
