"Have you ever had a pet, Arron?" the slave asked, curious. He didn't know much about the planet that Arron came from, so he wasn't even sure if they had animals there, but he figured that it wouldn't hurt to ask.

He shook his head. "F-Family was t-too p-poor to own a-a pet... & wh-when my parents passed I-I wasn't allowed on wh-while working on th-the ship." he explained with a small smile.

"Oh... I see..." the slave said somewhat sadly. He wanted to give Arron a hug, and seriously debated it for a bit. It was likely that he too had lost his parents, but for the moment he was blissfully unaware one way or another. The entire time he'd been debating hugging Arron though, he'd actually given him one on impulse. Upon noticing this, the slave turned bright red in the face and let go. "Ah! I'm sorry!"

He had stiffened at the hug. "It-It's okay!" he said scratching the back of his neck, "...J-Just always used to-to the sudden h-hugs y-you know..."

"I'm so sorry! I... don't usually just randomly give people hugs either. Normally I'm uncomfortable with physical contact with others. I guess my body reacted on its own. Sorry." he bowed several times apologetically, still very red-faced.

"N-No need to-to apologize... I-I'm glad y-you are happy." he said. Arron saw the monkeys & they were making faces at him. He chuckled & pointed them out.

It was true, the slave was happy. Just from learning that he had a pet he cared about made him feel much better about who he might have been. If he was able to take care of a lion, then it was likely that he was a caring person in the past, at least to that degree. It made him at ease, and better yet, excited to learn more about himself. When Arron pointed out the monkeys, he chuckled, and made a few faces back at them.

The pair had a good time at the zoo. Arron was happy that they found out who Atticus was & that the slave had someone he cared about in his previous life. After sometime, Arron asked, "...Th-Think we should g-go see if th-the circus ringmaster w-would know anything..?"

"If you think that would be a good idea. I can't think of any other occupation that would involve a lion, after all." the slave replied. He'd thought long and hard, but really, there wasn't anything that came to mind regarding lions. What he found the most odd was that it seemed so normal to him when he recalled Atticus. That being the case, if he was part of a circus, he imagined he must have been raised to be a lion tamer from an early age.

With that, Arron started for the exit. "We-We can come back here l-later. Al-Also y-you could have been a-a zoo keeper..?" he said with a smile. He knew that the slave liked animals so that was something to go one as well.

"I don't remember dealing with any other animals, but it's a possibility I guess." the slave nodded. He walked along, stopping by the penguins one last time. "Goodbye penguins! It was nice to meet you!" he waved, smiling. One of the penguins waved back, and the slave chuckled, then walked to the exit.

Arron smiled as they exited & headed for the tent that was set up a few streets away. He did not bother using his board as the walk was short one. The sun felt good against his skin.

The slave hopped from shadow to shadow. It was fun, and he wasn't quite used to wearing so much at that point in time, especially not during the summer. "What's the ringmaster like, if I may ask? Is he a kind person...?" the slave inquired.

The young man thought for a few minutes. "W-Well.. he is ch-charismatic... & likes to-to entertain. He's a-a really neat p-person to talk to... If you c-can get passed the f-fact is actual b-body is invisible..." he explained, "He w-wears make up & cl-clothes to show off h-his appearance."

"Ah. That doesn't sound so... his body is invisible?" the slave blinked in confusion, especially since it seemed like a major detail that Arron merely glanced over. "How will we find him if he's mostly invisible? Will he look like a floating head?" though they sounded ridiculous, they were real questions he was pondering. He'd never met an invisible man before, as far as he could recall. It seemed like he was experiencing a lot of supposed firsts that day.
