WHO Sparrow and Arden WHERE The Bronx Zoo WHAT Looking at snakes WHEN July 22, 2015; mid-day.
[After an uneventful subway trip--Sparrow misses that in Oaxaca, he'll admit it--they arrive at the Bronx Zoo. Sparrow has a messenger bag of oranges and candy, and they bypass all other animals in favour of the reptile house. Once they're inside, Sparrow looks over at her.]
I hear they have yellow-headed box turtles. And a green anaconda. I've been thinking of getting one of those to go with mi pequeña Reina. [He pushes his sleeves up his arms, baring bracelets.] What do you think, huh? [And he'll be damned if that stupid New York accent isn't already thick in his voice again. He hates this place.]
