Victoria was anything but lady like as she drug her dad from one animal display to the next. It was anything but her. Normally she was well mannered. However, she was just excited. This was all new to her.
"Look," Victoria said as she leaned over the railing and pointed at the lion. "He has a big mouth," she grinned.
"Be careful," Vlad said as he pulled Victoria from the railing. He was looking more at the teeth than the size of the mouth. He knew that if those teeth were anything like his...

Nathan had Harley up on his shoulders, the little boy eating cotton candy straight off the paper stick. They were both dressed lightly, considering the time of the year. It was one of the first really nice days that warned spring was coming.
"Look!" he said, tapping Harley's foot and pointing, the other hand holding the boy's leg. Harley looked, ears swiveling as he listened to a strange birdy-horsey noise.
"Eeba."
"Zebra, yes~" He was raising a baby genius.

Victoria spun around. She crossed her arms over her chest and pouted. "Seriously dad!" She grumbled. Her dad really knew how to ruin her fun. Fine, her dad wanted tame... Tame she'd find.
"Stripe things!" Victoria giggled as she grabbed her dad's hand and dragged him over to the area with the zebra's.
Victoria was demanding ninety perfect of the time so Vlad was use to being treated this way. "I believe they call them zebra's," he chuckled. He was more eased about these animals considering they didn't have sharp teeth. "A little hard to tell one from the other..."
"So... You going to grump about these to..." Victoria rolled her eyes. 'dads,' she thought as she mentally threw up her hands in defeat.

Harley looked down at the little girl and her daddy.
"Giw."
"What's that, buddy?" Nathan asked, head tilting up. Harley chose to crane his neck to look down at Daddy.
"Giw," he said again, pointing to the girl.
"Oh," Nathan laughed, and then smiled to the man nearby, "Sorry. He likes to...observe."

"Normally she's putting on more of a display but she likes to make people gawk at her," Vlad said as he turned his attention the man who had spoken to him. "No harm, no foul," he grinned.
Victoria pried her attention away form the zebra's. She didn't care what dad called them she thought they looked more like stripped horses. "Hmph," Victoria pushed her curls from her face. She glanced at the boy who had pointed her out to his dad. She, however, didn't say anything... She did her usual and played hard to get.

Harley just blinked down at the girl, curious but apparently not curious enough. One ear listened to the zebras and the other listened to the girl, if she would say anything. Nathan tried to politely turn away, but he couldn't reach Harley's head without letting go completely.

Victoria shook her head. It wasn't to say no to anything, it was more to draw attention to herself. She put her hands behind her back and rocked back and forth on her heels. "He isn't an exhibit," she told her dad. "... so can we go look at something else." She was trying her best to not show her disappointment that someone was unaffected by her looks.
Vlad rolled his eyes at his daughters comment. Kids could say the darnedest things at the most inappropriate times.

Nathan arched a brow, although not at the child but at the zebra. Oh, wonderful. Spoiled little brat children.
Harley took a bite out of his cotton candy then and wriggled to get down. Nathan helped him to the ground, and he tore a piece of his candy floss off and offered it to the girl. One end was melted from toddler spit.
Sharing was nice, right?

Victoria had never seen such a consumable thing. But, being the well mannered child she was she reached out to accept what the little boy was offering. She tried her best to avoid the spit parts. "Thank you," she smiled as she brought it to her mouth.
Vlad glanced out of the corner of his eye. He knew what she was about to eat but decided not to stop her. Last thing he wanted to do was cause a scene. Then again one was going to happen anyways considering that was a sugary treat.

Harley's ears folded back a moment, and then went erect again. Well, it seemed like she liked it. He took another slobbery bite and turned back to the habitat.
"Eeba," he said definitively to the girl, pointing at the cage.

It was at the moment that the boys back was turned that she made a sour expression. 'Yuck, sugar!' she thought as she silently gagged. She was trying her best to not spit it out. Doing so would be so improper on so many levels. She shook the stuff from her fingers and forced a smile on her face.
Vlad just grinned as he nudged his daughter forward.
"If you want my opinion they are no more than over grown stripped horses," Victoria said as turned to face the direction the boy was facing.

Harley looked to the girl again, peering at her over his destroyed cotton candy. He didn't much care if she had liked it or not, only if she wasn't about to do something mean.
"Eeba. Eeba stip't hothheth."
After all, "zebra" was just another word for a stripey horse!

Victoria giggled. Though the boy didn't seem all that amused by her actions and her looks she decided to not be angered because his actions were fairly cute for his age. "I'm Victoria," she said to the boy. She couldn't continue to think of him as that boy, this boy... A boy, any person for that matter needed and had a name.

Harley nodded and looked to the girl again.
"Ahwee."
"Harley," Nathan said from above. Harley looked up to him, smiled, and then looked back to the zebra. This girl was different than he'd known. He felt funny around her. One ear remained swiveled to listen to her.

"Harley, is a very nice name," Victoria giggled. She noticed that Harley never gave his complete attention to any one thing. "Why do you find the zebra's so fascinating?" She was already bored with them and wanting to find some new animal... Certainly one that did more than just stand there and chew on grass for hours on end.
Vlad glanced at the man who Harley had looked up to. "I'm Vlad," he smiled as he offered a hand to the man.
