Terry was determined that today was going to be a good day, and kept up a steady stream of random chatter as he, Penny and Ben walked to the Tube station. Ben was dressed in a green romper with a golden lion on the front, and seemed content to be carried by one of his two favorite people. He even joined in the chatter, pointing at random things and babbling. Ben had had a short morning nap, and was in good spirits. Every now and then he made a sound that almost sounded like mama and dada, and Terry really hoped Ben would choose to actually use those to describe him and Pen when they were all together.
The ride to the zoo wasn't as long as he thought it'd be, and Ben enjoyed all the people on the train. He pointed, waved and generally did his best to charm the anxious travelers. Terry thoroughly enjoyed watching his kid, though he had to wonder where Ben had inherited his love of people from. Terry was willing to admit that aside from a few select people, he was something of a social misanthrope on the best days.
They had to make several train stops, and the entire journey took just about forty minutes (they could have done it in moments if they'd Apparated, but Ben wasn't a huge fan of that sort of travel), and Ben was still cheerful as they waited in line for their tickets. The Zoo wasn't too busy on a Tuesday, so it wasn't long before they had a rented pram, and were on their way to see the exhibits.
"Where to first?" he asked, studying the map.
