Elephants

"Look at the elephants! Look at the elephants!" the little girl yelled as she ran around excited, her small braids bobbing up and down in time with her excitement. Ayumu trailed after her. smiling slightly. She looked up at him, eyes sparkling, and braids swinging slightly. He reached down and placed her on his shoulders. She let out an excited squeal and buried her small hands in his hair.

"Do you like elephants Narumi-san?" she asked as her eyes followed the large animals.

"Sure but I prefer giraffes," he said.

"Can we see those next?"
"Sure." After all, it would be a while until Hizumi found her parents, if she had any at all.

"Can we get ice cream, too?"

Ayumu shrugged, figuring just once wouldn't hurt, "Why not? Let's go Pigtails."
