  Roule nodded and grinned in return, recieving the gratitude gratefully. The goat boy was just a bit too cool for him at the start, but the weasel was quickly starting to like him.
They approached the farm, plowing into the crowds of people. Nev gripped her kid's hand tightly, determined not to lose him in the heavy multitude. He winced slightly at the sting but was too preoccupied with looking around to do much more. He was taking in more things that his eyes could keep up.. All of a sudden, Roule wished he had 15 heads.
Giggling softly, the pale boy watched the llama bray uncertainly as a larger girl attempted to pull it towards her. It shyed and swung away, looking more offended than a mammal like such should look.
"Mmmh what are gonna see first?" Nev asked, giving a quiet chuckle to herself. It was good that the kidlings were enjoying this.

 "Wooooowwww." Medusa said in an awed state, walking over to one of the bunnies and kneeling down beside it, putting her fingers out to pet it like the others were doing.
Zapshhh. The bunny had froze in its tracks, stiffening and seeming all too still, eyes shocked into one position.
Huh, that was weird. Was it supposed to do that...? Curious, Medusa kept poking at it.

"Don't get lost," Mahou warned. She did, however, let Anoki's hand go. It was a small enough area, and it wouldn't be too hard to find a child with horns even in a crowd. Especially if he was with a fuzzy one and one that was bright blue.
Nodding his agreement, Anoki started to look for the goats, but quickly found himself dazzled by the array of animals. It seemed like the blue girl was looking at a rabbit, but it wasn't moving. Shrugging, he moved on- and then quickly stepped back as a lamb crossed in front of him.
Maybe seeing animals up close wasn't such a good idea after all. It was too crowded for Anoki's tastes, and even the idea of seeing goats and llamas and bunnies wasn't enough to push his fear away. Trembling a little, he started looking for a less crowded spot.

Roule left Nev's side immediately as she left go of his hand. The girl wasn't even able to fit in a similar request to her son before he had gone off with the bright blue and horned children. Sighing repeatedly, Nev gave a broken smile to Mahou and Kanth, tiredly. It seemed all parents shared something like this.
The weasel boy watched Medusa quietly, slightly fascinated but was distracted by Anoki's movement. It was much less crowded here, something he was immensely grateful for. Giggling to himself, he stepped to a smaller area, with a llama pen. Looking up at it, he prodded a nostril sharply, making the llama whine with disdain. Curiousity piqued, the boy attended to rubbing the poor mammal roughly and poking in different spots. The llama just stood there, looking slightly pained and to the extent of an emotion which a goat-family could produce as boredom.

Sighing, Medusa stood up and walked over to Kanth, leaving the rabbit lay where it was. "C'n we gow somwer else?" She asked, giving a hopeful look.
Kanth glanced to the other two adults, as if asking silently. "Perhaps a change would be nice."

"That might not be a bad idea," Mahou considered. "But where else is there that would be interesting? I'm not sure they would want to simply stare at animals all day." She had no desire to spend her time that way, and she actually liked zoos.
Disoriented, Anoki looked around and hurried over to the first person he recognized- Roule, and a llama. "Wh-what are you d-doing?" he asked curiously, looking up at the animal. It was so tall! And fuzzy! Copying the weasel's motions, Anoki rubbed the llama's side, smiling a little. Still, it wasn't as interesting as he'd hoped it would be.

Nev nodded, agreeing. It wasn't really a great fun place, especially with the massive amounts of people in the petting zoo.
"Sure? I doubt Roule would really oppose to the idea of leaving the llama alone." Nev said, gritting her teeth quietly and proceeded to remove the weasel's fingers from the llama's face.
"Geez," she started, making a tsking noise, "treat the animals nicely!"
Roule stared at her for a few seconds, before looking at Anoki.
"He's doing it too, ma."
"No, he's petting the llama. Not poking."
Roule frowned, not really seeing the difference. Shrugging, he returned to where Mahou and Kanth were standing, waiting patiently for his mother, who seemed rather flustered with his independant behaviour.
"So, where are we headed?" The girl questioned, looking around the zoo. Where else...?

"I bet Medusa would like to see the jellies." Kanth said with a bright look, turning to look where the aquarium was located.
Medusa brightened at this prospect, and grabbed both Roulette and Anoki's wrists, attempting to drag them along when she didn't really have the strength to (as she was still just a toddler yet!). "Jellies, oh pleyes?!" She exclaimed, grey eyes wide with anticipation.

Anoki shrugged, but followed Roule and his mother back to the other adults. Once there he listened to them talking, shivering a little at the mention of an aquarium. He didn't even like baths, much less swimming pools or beaches. The thought of seeing more water creatures wasn't thrilling, and he looked up at Mahou hopefully. "D-do we hafta?"
"Anoki Kenelm!" Mahou frowned. "Be polite. We've already seen what you wanted to. It's only fair that Medusa gets that too."
Opening his mouth to disagree, Anoki was shocked- literally and figuratively- as the jellyfish girl grabbed his wrist. He resisted the urge to grab it away, but it was hard, as the ibex wasn't fond of being grabbed unbidden. Even Mahou got glared at when she did it. Instead he set his mouth in a hard line. He'd go, but he didn't have to like it.

Roule paused, slightly jolted after Medusa had pulled him. Thinking of the aquarium, he recollected memories from a few months ago, when his Ma had brought him to one.. It was small. He hadn't really found anything interesting in here before, he thought absentmindedly, following after Medusa and Anoki. It was just water and stuff, nothing really awesome or interesting, and no matter what people said, he had never found anything in there very spectacular. But maybe today it'd be nice.
Following Medusa and Anoki contently, he noticed the goat boy's apparent displeasure with heading to the water. "Neeee?" He asked, not too quietly, "Anokee doesn't like the aquarium?" It didn't sound like a tease, at least not to the weasel's ears, hopefully more like a question. He wasn't exactly fond of water itself but it was alright. Nothing to like about it though, considering he didn't swim poorly but not well.
The exasperated girl sighed before chuckling weakly to the other two and nudging the reluctant weasel towards Medusa and Anoki. Man, that kid really needed friends.

Eyes widening as they got near the exhibit, Medusa let go of everything she had been holding onto, and practically ran towards the glass, pressing her face and body against it.
"Wooooooooooow." She breathed out, resembling a bit more than a starfish at that point. Kanth smirked, crossing her arms.
"Those are Jellyfish, Medusa."
"GELFSSHHHH." She muttered, trying to talk through the glass. It was like they were dancing!!

"No," Anoki replied stubbornly. "D-don't like w-water." Water was wet, and it made everything cold and damp and wet and heavy and icky and wet. And anywhere with nothing but water and animals that liked water wasn't somewhere Anoki wanted to be. That didn't stop Mahou from dragging him along, but he hung back, not getting any closer to the glass than he had to.

Roule grinned, obviously as it was something to tease Anoki about. Not that it was nice, but Roule could keep the water fact tucked away in his brain if he ever met Anoki again.. Fun times for all.
The weasel looked around, watching the fish swim by. It was pretty, he had to admit, but still a tad boring. Oh well? It seemed everyone else wanted to be here, so what could he do? Hmm...
Watching a jellyfish swim by, his eyes followed it relentlessly, dazing him slightly. He followed it to the glass, using his finger to follow the jellyfish's transparent trail.

Medusa was absolutely thrilled. There were all sorts of different colors!
Guess which color was her favorite.
She remained pressed against the glass, her smile growing wider by the second as she continued to watch. This was what she was! If only she could dance in the water like that!

Why did the other ones seem to be enjoying themselves so much? Anoki wasn't miserable, but he was getting pretty close. And the other kids were actually having fun, which made him feel worse. "Mahou," he whined softly, "c-can we go?"
Mahou had actually been watching the dance of te jellyfish with some interest, but turned sharply when adressed. "Anoki! Be polite. We'll get to look at something else soon."
Anoki hoped so. Sighing, he turned and looked back at the tanks, still keeping a fair distance. They were sort of pretty, he guessed.
