I heard there were new animals in the city -- a girl told me to avoid the ones with horns if I was worried but I think I'd like to see a deer. The most I've ever seen before here were rats stowed away... do you think I might become a birdwatcher? There are so many of them in the parks.

[ She's pretty sure the novelty will wear off quickly, but for now they're kind of enchanting. And it's something to talk about as they wander. ]

I'm glad you came by today, too. But I have to believe we would have found each other one way or another.
