[Well, the laugh is a treat, all things considered. The wet hand is less of a treat, but he accepts the handkerchief without any more sputtering to properly wipe it off. He'll be handing that right back to Viktor in a moment, so thanks, and also, carry this wet thing. Rio is Viktor's cool pet, sooo—
Anyway, then he's going right back in for Viktor's hand, so they can hold hands while they look at this nice river. It's pretty straight, being a man-made thing, although it curves off in the distance. There's also a mechanism of sorts at the ends of this particular bridge they're standing on, as it becomes more evident upon a closer look that this is a drawbridge, actually. Octavian drums his fingers on the guardrail and then gives the whole length of it a more sweeping gesture.]
I helped to design this. In university. It was a project in our cohort. This is a mining town with plenty of boats coming through, you see.
[So the boats need space, etc etc, he took Viktor here to show off his college thesis project, more or less. Please gaze upon the fancy drawbridge and admire him more.]
