"... Kino. What the heck is THAT?"
She looked down at a plaque in front of the window and read, "Giraffa camelopardalis, the giraffe."
Hermes was quiet for a moment then said, "Mello."
"What was that?"
"I just named it! Isn't that a nice name for a ge-raft?" She could tell in Hermes' voice that he was proud. Slowly she wheeled Hermes away from the giraffe now named Mello. "Bye bye" He called childishly back to it. The giraffe paid no mind to the traveler and her partner, but he didn't care.
At the next display, she peered around until she spotted the animal and pointed it out to Hermes. He bounced on his stand when he saw the giant panda. "Oh wow look at that big bear! Ryu could eat you in one bite!"
"... you named an animal again?"
"Of course! Don't that bear look like a Ryu?"
"Hermes, that isn't a bear. It's a panda."
"But...!" Hermes started as Kino rolled him away once more.
They rounded a corner and found some small tanks with no water in them. She scooted Hermes close to a bottom one as she peered in them.
"AAHH!!" Hermes yelled when he got a good look inside. Kino jumped back a little and stared at him.
"What's wron-" she started but Hermes cut her off, "SNAKE! OH GOD HIDE ME KINO!!"
She didn't question his fear of them and quickly guided him down the corridor. Hermes whimpered when they passed more tanks.
"Did you name the snake?"
He made an odd noise, "Why the heck would I want to name a snake??"
Kino grinned and shook her head as they left the zoo.
