Kyle waits a few seconds for his eyes to adjust as Alex dives ahead. He follows a moment later, stepping up to the enclosure and staring at all the little guys. Adorable, really. He wouldn't mind having some as pets again.

"Uh.. fruit bats." He laughs at the guess, knowing nothing beyond some eat fruit and some eat insects. Oh and that one snout-nosed one. The rest all blur. "I used to watch them. In some areas, there were insects everywhere. You'd look up at night and see the swarms, like another set of stars. And then the bats would dart through them like missiles, grabbing 'em out of the air. It was awesome."

"Look. Come here." He beckons her over, pointing at one dangling and nomming at a piece of banana. "Look at him, how they hold on and eat.. We had a few fruit bats as pets at one of our camps. I mean, they were free, but they always came back and we'd leave food out for them."

It's his turn to be enthusiastic and childlike.
