[Viktor's physique certainly didn't inspire much confidence or trust. The man appeared frail enough that even the most lightest push would make him fall and break every bone in his body. It actually reminded Richard a quite lot of his own body, which is exactly why he didn't want to treat the other man with silk gloves when instructing him through this task. His own mother had locked him up countless times during his childhood using his frail body as an excuse. "Children like Richard needs to be protected", she would say when in truth it was just her attempt to keep him hidden away. Out of of sight, out of mind, as they'd say.
However, it had been just that what had driven Richard to prove her and everyone else wrong. That despite his small and feminine size he could do everything and more than his brothers could. And it's that exactly what makes him want to believe that this poor, sickly man could pull out this seemingly herculean task of breaking free of his confinement.
When Viktor lowered himself down, Richard stretched his arms upwards. His fingertips could reach the man's calves. Good, that made this somewhat easier.]
Now you let go. I will not drop you. [Time to take a leap of faith with Richard, Viktor.]
