The Maryland Zoo, Baltimore, Sunday Afternoon

[myownface]

Yes, Sparkle was blowing off his job at Demon Marcus again today. And why not? He was sore after his detention yesterday (running Alenko's obstacle course four times was tough enough. Running it about fifty times before getting it right had been brutal) and he had good company. Hell, it was a date. Sparkle hadn't been on many proper dates in his life, but a trip to the zoo with Alec was setting a high bar for future ones.

Well, that's what he figured, anyhow.

"They have kinkajous here. I don't even know what the hell that is but we gotta see them before we go, right?"


[For the boy! NFB for off-the-island-ness!]

"Definitely," Alec agreed, turning over the giant map he had insisted on collecting from the information desk so they could maximize efficient zoo-navigating. He trailed a finger down the map. "I'm not sure what they are either, but apparently they're not far. First stop?"
