" I'm sorry Evie, there aren't any lions, but we do have reindeer if you'd like to meet them and feed them?"
For a second, Evie's bright blue eyes got wide like saucers, darting from Aeryn to Hallowette to Miles before settling back on the Chief Science Officer. Her weight started shifting from side to side in excitement.
"Like Santa has?" There was a dose of awe in her voice before her toothy smile came back full strength. "Like Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Blitzen and Donald... Donald is a silly name for a reindeer," the little girl stated with all seriousness.
"Sparkles is a better name and someone should tell Santa," she stated, her tone a tiny mimic of her mother's matter of fact voice. Her hand even found its way to her hip for a second before it flapped outward in renewed excitement.
"Don't you think?" She asked, turning her big eyes back on Hallowette.
"Can we go see them, pleaseeeeee?"
