Braw? [She didn't recognize the accent, and she looked over at him curiously as he fell into step beside her. She rolled her eyes, and she tapped the side of his leg with her sneaker, without missing a step.] You're totally smart. Maybe I can take credit for some of it, but you're smarter than you think you are, and you're naturally intelligent. I think I'll keep hanging out with you, if that's okay. [But, more seriously.] You should totally rest. If you're going to be pushing yourself physically, then adequate rest is important. [She said that in her best lecturey voice.]
They collect money from people who care about animals, and they try to get super big donations from rich people with charitable interests. They get to discount their donations on their taxes, and it makes them look really caring. I think tourists will still go, but only tourists that really care about animal welfare and conservation. [She gave him a curious look, nose crinkling.] Is that a circus? I've read a little about the circuses, and they sound super exploitative. I can't believe freak shows were a thing for so long. [She glanced over at him.] Did you want to talk about being stressed, or should I wait for you to broach the subject?
