Oh that is not what he expected the texture of Rio to be but it's so interesting and he smiles, petting her head gently. Jayce assumes with Viktor naming the type of beast that it's something that lives in the Undercity, or possibly in the water surrounding it since it seems amphibian-adjacent. So she's unusual to him but not in general.
"Oh I'm sad now you couldn't bring her up to Piltover, she's sweet." Jayce assumes that's why, not that any other reason could have changed that. But it is reality that there's no way one of these could be in an assistant's room or stay with him. That would have gone over badly. He immediately grabs one of the flowers.
And yes, some things you need to experience for yourself, her tongue curls out and takes the flower from him, leaving saliva behind and Jayce is startled at first, but much like child Viktor once upon a time, he laughs. "Oh boy, we're going to need to have a towel ready for visitors if she gets licking." Jayce wipes it off on his otherwise perfect Talis clothes but it doesn't last there, one of the things about fixing the way you look making it easy.
"How did you meet her?" Jayce knows to tread a little carefully with Viktor's discomfort with talking about his childhood, but it's a carefully innucuous start.
