How not?

(It feels nearly impossible to believe that Viktor doesn't want to smack him at least twice a day.)

Should have kept at it. Don't think he got it from the past examples. Anyway, I currently don't like him. He's a little lap dog, but since he's soooooo worried, and because I owe you one, I'll do you a solid. I'll send you whatever research results and I'll talk to you alone about it.

He's out on the grounds of being a bitch.
