She always dents the hull. [viktor sighs with all the world wariness of whatever the hell age he is right now. nearby rio is pouncing and probably denting the hull as they speak, so she's having fun.] And then I have to take it all off and try to bend it back to shape! It's annoying.

[and yet he's looking to rio fondly so... there you go. worth a little elbow grease, as it were.

all in all he's pretty pleased with getting to show off his work though, torn between ducking his head and standing straighter. maybe more so at the implication he could make a whole ship, like out on the water. he scoffs, pretty sure this has to be teasing but- well, maybe a little happy with the prospect.]

You don't know enough about engines to say that. [another pause and he says,] If um, if you went on a walk again you could come back. Rio likes you. [viktor does, but admitting that? nope.]
