"It-It's okay. We c-can see everything to-today, but let's do what we-we came here for first." explained Arron as he started for the bigger enclosures.

"Hmm... but how many animals in a zoo would you be able to ride?" the slave pondered out loud, tapping his chin thoughtfully. A large caged area caught his attention, he and looked inside, seeing an enormous gorilla scratching itself.
"Could someone ride on a gorilla, maybe?" he titled his head at it, then chuckled when it tilted its head right back.
"I think it likes me."

Arron named off several animals, including dragons as he knew there were dragons on Gaia. He chuckled at the slave & the gorilla.

"I don't think it was a gorilla. Maybe I'll know when I see it." the slave determined, walking over to the next enclosed area. Inside was a few giraffes, eating grass from a tree. He leaned over to read the information on the front of the fence.
"Ah, it says their names are Slim and Alassia." he explained, waving at the two of them. He tried to picture himself riding on one, but the thought itself seemed more hilarious than anything.
"I don't think the animal was a giraffe." he chuckled, pausing mid-laugh when both of them looked over at him. His hands quickly raised up.
"Ah! Not like there's anything wrong with that!"

Arron smiled & would follow the young man wherever he wandered to in the facility. He was calm & content while walking around.

He hurried over to the next enclosure, afraid he'd offended the giraffes. Inside the next enclosure had pandas in it, and the slave stared at them for a good long three minutes before putting his hands together.
"Yes. This is it." he stated with a nod.
"If I were to want to hug a large dangerous animal, it would be a panda."

The young man laughed at the slave's words. "T-Today has b-been good..." he said with a smile.

The slave nodded, looking at the pandas for a bit longer before waving to them and walking over to the next enclosure. He froze when he saw the animals inside, and stared at them for awhile.
"These are the ones! I remember for certain! This is what Atticus was!" he exclaimed, in shock. Inside the cage were two majestic lions, one male, and one female.

The mechanic's eyes widened at the news. "Th-That's great! We-We found it!" he said smiling & looking at the lions, "Hmm... Lions... th-that may mean y-you are from th-the south... As lions are from th-the savannah re-regions... or... I-I think you may have tr-trained them..." He looked at the slave in a slight awe to be able to handle such beasts.

"I remember that I had a lion named Atticus, and he was one of my best friends." the slave explained, remembering that much.
"We did all sorts of things together...and he was huge! I could ride on top of him... but that's about all I remember for sure." he stared at the lions awhile longer before smiling softly.
"If I can find my original home, I'd love to see him again."

"...Well..." Arron said reading the information plate as to where the lions were from & what their names were. "...We know y-you had a t-tame lion... Th-That narrows it d-down at least."

The lions were named Lizzy and Alan, and they were from a different zoo.
"So... maybe I was a lion tamer?" the slave pondered, "so... I could have been part of a circus, if you really think about it." he mentioned. It was indeed a possibility. Lion tamers were often found in circuses.

He nodded. "...We c-could as the new shop owner named L-Loyal... He m-may know if a-a circus was missing th-their lion t-tamer." he said placing his hand to his chin in thought, "...b-but let's en-enjoy the rest of the visit here."

"Ooh, so we can look at all of the animals then, not just the big ones?" he asked excitedly, walking over happily to another enclosure. Inside the next one was a white tiger, lounging around.
"He looks very comfortable in there. I wonder what you would feed a tiger? Probably the same things you feed to lions...."

"Y-Your guess is as-as good as mine..." he said following. Arron did not know much about the animals.
