Well, Viktor would never be so rude as to threaten to turn him into tea, but he does have extremely intense bouts of hyperfocus where interrupting him is a fruitless endeavour. Today, the focus is on every book on magic he can find piled next to him. Some from this world, some from other worlds. While Caldera is very rudimentary in terms of technology, compared to his own world, the information available here about magic is much more plentiful. In fact, in Piltover magic was banned for a long time, so getting his hands on books about it feels like touching gold. He's absorbing everything he can, voraciously, from terminology to mechanics and methodologies to different theories of magic and where it comes from.
He pores through the stack of books, at times having multiple open in front of him, always copying interesting terms into his notebook, sometimes making his own notes of questions he has. Occasionally Viktor will cough into a handkerchief, or get up to try to find another book that was referenced in one of his stacked books. Sometimes he forgets the other man is there at all. Other times when he's taking a short rest or stretching, he notices the steady presence, and appreciates the company. Eventually, he feels a little curious about the stranger in turn.
Especially when Ferin starts glowing. As the man speaks, Viktor's eye is drawn to him and lingers on that glow, then glances out the window at how dark it is.
"Oh. Hm." He heaves a small sigh, giving a general appraisal of all the books to try to decide if he's finished for the day. It's only then that he notices his head aches, as does his stomach from not eating or drinking anything, as does his bladder from... Well, you get the picture. He starts to gather up the books to put them back, but there are... A lot.
