[Viktor has said very little about his childhood to anyone, but that particular fact is probably not hard to guess. Growing up in Zaun meant falling in with one roving pack of kids or another--Viktor, unable to keep up physically just as the they couldn't keep up with him intellectually. So he withdrew into his work, and the occasional inadvisable foray into the ravines that sit below them even now. Of course a child like him would be enthralled by a creature like Rio.
He only wishes it hadn't ended the way it did. But there's the Horizon, at least, even if it's not quite a second chance. Viktor likes introducing her to his visitors regardless, and despite Kyle's trepidation, this is no exception.
And if he isn't in a rush, well. Viktor gestures to a nearby receptacle of purple flowers. They glow softly.]

She's harmless. You can give her one.
