I already told him that I wouldn't have if he didn't seem to be determined to say the worst possible things to me. Take responsibility for the fact that your friend was also an asshole.
[would scien have still stepped on him a bit? yes. but he probably actually wouldn't have been that awful if viktor hadn't pushed exactly the wrong buttons.]
Don't misunderstand me. I don't wish death upon anyone lightly.
[but that is less about viktor and more about scien's principles.]
[the scientist feud was truly.... so stupid. and then they got over it. they were a problem for like a week and then neither of them held on. so dumb.
like how easily scien answers:]
No. [despite beating up a dude and kicking him in the head.... help me] I don't want anyone dead except whatever is making us into puppets on Thursdays.
[that's a deeper grudge.]
But he's admitted he can't be trusted around certain technology, so he needs to be kept away from mine.
[ they have a common enemy, which makes it even easier not to hold too many grudges. not that sidon would, anyway. he seems appeased. his tone is at once cordial and professional, princely. ]
As long as we all respect each others boundaries, I'm sure there won't be any issues!
[ boundaries like touching people's hearts or kicking them in the face ]

[ he can be aware of viktor's mistakes and also mad he got stepped on. but sidon's anger is brief, a barely visited emotion—it shifts to curiosity. ]
Do you want him dead, still?

I won't cast the first stone.
[but he will absolutely retaliate like an asshole]
I'd rather not get distracted anyway. There's too much to solve.
