"...I beg your pardon?"

Yinyue's request is abrupt in every way possible. He hasn't had someone (aside from family) ask since... it doesn't matter. And before he can ask begin to ask what prompted this, he's given the most simplistic answer as well. Moments like these are why he's glad most of his emotional tells are hidden behind his mask; nobody can tease him for making stupid faces as Ludger does with no effort.

He should refuse for the sake of not sowing any dangerous ideas.

But in the end, Victor takes the offered hand with a touch more delicate than he ought to afford it, "Just know the minute this turns into a ploy to drag me somewhere, I'm letting go."
