Slowing down wouldn't stop him from zooming right around the next girl whose path he crossed, though. He had just been passing by her when Sniffler poked his head up and started squirming in his hands; Jay stopped, grumbling a bit, and did his best to keep his little friend from falling to the floor.
"You can't run around here. That giant guy will squish you with his big feet," he explained, as patient as possible as the little hedgehog paws pushed at his hand. Sniffler was not having it though, and Jay looked at the girl he'd stopped by, holding him out. "Can you hold this for a minute?"
So he could, you know. Find treats and stuff to placate the tiny creature.
Julia looked up from the unpacking of her travel items--because Merlin forbid you go anywhere without a bottle of sunscreen--at the 'this' being held out by the boy. She looked at it for a few moments, then at the boy holding it out, then back at the hedgehog.
"Is it poisonous?"
