Should we ask the staff to make a dish for us? And then we can sit together and get to know each other.

[ you guys, making friends is SO easy ]

You must have the best peaches and blackberries in the world. [ and since she brought up animals, ] What are the bears like?

[trailborn]

Yes, let's meet.

I dont know about the world, but I won't ever forget how they taste.
Never seen one before? We had black bears. Daddy wouldn't really hunt them. They're big and mind their own business.

[commentary]

It's a good thing to remember.

Do they? I think I like black bears.

[ At the same time: can't relate. ]

[trailborn]

I've seen some wildlife here, mostly birds. Some foxes.
What have you seen?

[commentary]

Me too. Bugs are even easier to spot.

I've also seen a cat here or there, to hunt down the mice, I think. And I heard someone owns a tiger. Can you imagine?

[trailborn]

I've never seen a tiger.

[not even in books, her schooling focused on the bare minimum for women.]

I'd like to see one. In person not in a book or on my phone. I heard they have a zoo here and I've never heard of such a thing.
Keeping wild animals inside seems wrong.

[commentary]

That depends, I think. There are many places that are keeping them safe. But they have to have the right conditions for the animals, I agree.

Would you like to go with me? To the zoo?

[trailborn]

Yes. I'll meet you there.
