[He still doesn't quite understand. A Council meeting, okay. Probably about the stolen gemstone--but what would Vi have to do with that? Viktor needs her to start at the beginning, before he starts jumping to wild conclusions, but he knows that's not going to happen until they stop being hostile with each other.
And he can't help but be hostile. He hates that he's missing so many pieces, especially when the crux of this situation seems to be something that Jayce did. Something that Viktor doesn't want to believe that he did. Vi accuses him, accurately, of never leaving the lab, and now he wishes he had--maybe he could have prevented whatever it is that happened. Whatever put the gauntlets in her possession.]
It matters to me because I'm from the Undercity.
[He doesn't know if Caitlyn told her as much, and it likely raises more questions than it answers, but he says it unapologetically, daring her to challenge him on that point, specifically.
Despite the fact that he clearly does not enjoy that the gauntlets are in front of him, he desperately needs something to do with his hands, so he pulls up a stool and sinks onto it with some effort, reaching for an oversized pair of tweezers. Viktor plunges the tool into the hole in the glove, digging around for shards of metal. When he speaks again, he sounds defeated, like he already knows he's going to hate the answer.]
