He's the humble type, it probably feels weird to him. Sic Hilda on him, no one can resist her for long. I'll get Wylan on him too.

[godshattering]

Trust me, Hilda's a force to be reckoned with.

[ With all fondness - it'd been one of the many things he'd admired about her after first meeting, and the rest was history from there. ]

I have plenty of faith in your abilities to rally everyone as well though since I've seen them at work many a time now. Between all of us I have faith we'll be able to convince Viktor and have the celebration he deserves for everything.

[itookashot]

We've got to convince him to go first, because he might refuse once a crowd is forming, he's got to already have buy-in!

[godshattering]

You've got a good point there. We'll see what Hilda can do and then that'll give us what to do from there. I still say plan for this happening since if there's anyone persuasive enough to sweep Viktor into going along with this, it's absolutely Hilda.

[itookashot]

Good luck to him if he tries to say no, she'll get him around.

Speaking of Hilda, have you known her to be insecure? When I mentioned opening a shop she acted like she wasn't good enough for it, it threw me for a loop.

[godshattering]

I don't doubt that for an instant. If only you could've seen her in action back during the war or even back at the academy.

[ Claude considers pointing out it's one of the many reasons they'd become friends in the first place with that skill in common, but what Jesper says next - causes him to pause and reread the words a few times. Ah. Yes, he's familiar with that, too. ]

Yeah, I have. For all that we're talking about Hilda being convincing, sometimes that ability can work both for and against. It might take a bit for her to come around, but don't give up on it.

[itookashot]

I won't. It was just a surprise. She's been doing a lot of work, there's no reason for her to think she's putting in less.

[godshattering]

[ Claude considers that before responding, since - for all that he likes to tease Hilda, there's some things which aren't his to tell. Jesper's picked up on something important, and it'll lead somewhere soon enough if this is anything to go by. ]

She has, and so have you. The two of you are about to continue on creating incredible things together. Just remind her you believe in her and she can do this. In the meantime, I'll keep bothering her about putting some new and fancy things in the window of your shop in the meantime since personally, I can't wait to drop by.

[itookashot]

I'm nothing if not constantly complimentary, don't worry. We'll have everyone pop by to see it once we set it up.

Let me know when you think Viktor's accepted his inevitable fate of going to the ceremony, then I'll get the word out.

[godshattering]

Will do, and I'll do my best. Which includes sending Hilda in since she's on the way, so I think we'll know one way or another pretty soon.

And thanks again, Jesper. I'll let you know as soon as I find out if you don't hear from Hilda first.
