"Where am I gonna get an imaginary zoo?" she demands, giggling.

[pandion]

"That's your job! Delegatinnnng!"

[hold_infinity]

She giggles some more.

[pandion]

"If I did it myself I'd go overboard, right. Marble columns around the petting zoo section and gold-plated manure shovels and stuff."

[hold_infinity]

"What in bloody hell would you even want a gold-plated manure shovel for?"

[pandion]

"I dunno! It seems pretty stupid. So I better not procure my own imaginary zoo, huh?"

[hold_infinity]

"I'll make Ethan do it," she decides.

[pandion]

"Ooh, I dunno, is there such a thing as too many layers of delegation?"

[hold_infinity]

"Nah."

[pandion]

"Then awesome."

[hold_infinity]

"Perfect."

[pandion]

"Do you suppose he's good at zoo-getting?"

[hold_infinity]

"How should I know?"

[pandion]

"I dunno. Do you not stay up late into the night telling each other all your deepest secrets about your zoo related skills?"

[hold_infinity]

"Not really," she snorts. "Well, not about our zoo-related skills, anyway."

[pandion]

"What instead of that? Why, I have no idea what I'd talk about if it weren't for those zoo-type topics."

Robin rolls her eyes.

[pandion]

Andi giggles a little.

[hold_infinity]

Robin grins.

[pandion]

"Seriously though what do you even have conversations with him about? It's never all that obvious when you're around me how it's happening so it has to be while I'm not but you're so -" She twists her index and middle fingers together.

[hold_infinity]

"I couldn't even begin to tell you," she admits. "I feel like I've known him forever. We just talk. About everything."

[pandion]

"You've known him like as long as you've known me. I mean, you've known Bella that long too, it's not like everybody clicks the same amount, but you're extra-double-chocolate clicky with Ethan."

[hold_infinity]

"Yeah," says Robin. "I have no idea why, but it's true."

[pandion]

"Huh. I bet Mom would say you were sooooulmates."

[hold_infinity]

"Maybe we are."
