Maybe they think that they are the leaders of the world and instead of them being in an enclosure, they think that we are their servants who have to live outside their walls and bring them food every day?” That reminded her of a cat. Just maybe Flobberworms had a superiority complex.
Well now she was jealous. Riding on a winged horse sounded like it could be the most fun she’d ever had. “Did it fly too?” her eyes lit open. She could only imagine floating around like she was on a magic carpet. “My mums took us to a magical zoo before but they didn’t have any winged horses. I’ve been to a muggle zoo too. They had zebras there and they are a bit like horses.” It was amazing that Aurora had any voice left whenever she was speaking to someone, she could talk for England. Maybe she should join the magical debate club, although she absolutely shied away from conflict.
He made a good point. Why did it make you seasick? “I think it’s just one of those silly expressions adults say sometimes.” They did come up with some odd sayings after all. “Maybe it’s the swaying side to side which makes you feel like you’re on a boat?” Which to the eleven-year-old sounded like it would be quite fun but nevertheless her Ma had won that argument.
The boys name was Wiley. She would make a mental note of that in her brain for future reference. .....................
Wiley was mindblown at that thought. "Wow, just imagine!" he exclaimed after his mouth gaped open for a brief second. He'd never even considered such a thing, but what if that was true. Flobberworms could very well have that perspective on the world. "We just think they're boring little creatures and they might just think they get waited on by us," he laughed at the very idea. But it was interesting to think about. "I think I still want to have a little party for them anyway so they can have some fun."
"Well, yeah, of course," Wiley nodded at the question. He was slightly confused by needing to clarify that he flew on the winged horse, though he quickly realized that it could have just stayed on the ground. "I hope we get to ride them here. Maybe we'll have a lesson about them sometime!" If Aurora thought she had a lot to say, then she was pretty well-matched with Wiley. He rarely was at a loss for words. "Oh, zoos are super cool! I've gone to a lot with my family." He suddenly got a little sad thinking about his brother and sister and his parents, realizing that he missed them. But he recovered quickly.
Wiley considered her reasoning and then nodding, figuring at least that much made sense. "Adults say funny things sometimes. Like raining crups and kneazles, like they are actually falling from the sky but they clearly aren't!" Weird. Maybe this was the same sort of thing. "I guess so.. but winged horses never made me feel that way." Or brooms for that matter. But maybe camels were different.
