"The problem has always seemed that you were losing your... 'life force', so to speak, more quickly than your body is able to regenerate it."
Aether not being a finite resource, though certainly having its limits... Hythlodaeus can still admit he's never seen anything quite like Viktor's problem before. He lapses into thought again, a crease forming in his brow as he frowns and thinks...
"And you can't keep relying on me to top you off, as happy as I am to do it."
A more permanent solution would be better, but it seems that whatever Viktor did to himself it's attached to his very being, not just the body he occupies. The researchers at Anyder would really have a field day with this.
Viktor took a moment to make certain the glove was snug on every finger as he thought over what Hythlodaeus said. Faster than his body could regenerate it...
"What if another body was linked to my 'life force', or my aether as you put it?"
Viktor wasn't sure where he was going with this line of thought, but the Familiar bond that he had created being linked to his own aether made as much sense as so much did here in Folmore.
He thinks about it, tilting his head slightly to one side and curling one finger against his chin. Viktor might not be sure where he's going with that line of thought but Hythlodaeus can see it.
"It could potentially balance you out, at least temporarily..." But... "But it could be dangerous in the long term, for you and for them. You'd need to be careful." He pauses, then makes a small gesture with one hand.
"Of course, I can only speculate based on my own knowledge."

"I suppose no one else has any ideas, either..."
