[Viktor's choosing this form means that it came with some instructions--luckily for Fern, he doesn't underestimate his own strength, even as she struggles against his grip. If he understands that it's the knife she's concerned about, he certainly doesn't show it, though he doesn't show much of anything like this, staring down at her with expressionless yellow eyes.
What he does seem to understand is that she is going to keep stabbing him. The shove doesn't move him, but the thrusting knife is annoying, and perhaps he's slightly offended that she's trying to attack, rather than talk.
It occurs to him, while she attempts to drive the knife into the gaps and ridges of his metal body, that he hasn't yet attempted to access his powers. Now seems like as good a time as any. The hexclaw arcs above his head, sparking with purple energy--for a moment it seems like it might unleash some sort of electrical discharge, but instead it cycles through a series of runes that illuminate like a halo around him.
Fern will find, after only a moment, that her feet have left the ground. With another rotation, the force of gravity pushes her away until she's hovering several feet away, out of stabbing range.]
