I dunno when they feed them. Call ahead and check.
( he's certainly not going to... but he'd like to watch, too, he thinks. with how he's obsessed with watching kaiser eat that should be self-explanatory. )
[ this means they'll have a zoo date, right? kaiser knows better than to explicitly ask. ]
Mmhm, I will. I want to see the wild cats and if they still have a predator instinct in them or if now they're all fat and lazy because they figured out they'll get fed at the same times every day no matter what. [ those damn lazy tigers, you know. ] Zoos probably keep birds too, maybe you'll get to see some that you haven't yet. You know, like birds from the jungles and other... um... exotic places.
[ kaiser doesn't know. he ran out of ecosystems he knows after saying "jungle". ]
Probably the latter. ( like, let's not get too excited. everyone knows cats are lazy as fuck... so if they're just given food, why would they work for it?
still, sae wants to see their big teeth tear that meat apart. )
"Other exotic places." ( a snicker < - guy who also can't name any other exotic places )
Well, I don't know what any of those other places are called... [ he's an innocent and pure boy who didn't go to school. ] Where do those pink birds live? The ones that stand on one foot. And penguins... have you seen either of those before?
( well, he's hardly given anything on a silver platter, so... )
... flamingos? ( he don't know where they live. australia???? ) I've seen penguins in a Japanese zoo before. But I'd see them again if I had the chance. They're funny.
Oh, so you still like them even though they don't fly. Well... I guess the way that they swim through the water might be comparable in terms of how free they are to go where they will... I've seen some clips from penguin documentaries, they do seem like funny little bastards.
[ kaiser would've liked seeing pesto the giant penguin chick... or those gay australian penguins... but all he's seen are clips of penguins stealing eggs from each other. ]
[ kaiser's bad for talking about something (hedgehogs) that sae might actually have a thought on. ]
Um... should I read some philosophy to you directly, then? There's something I read not that long ago... [ then there's the sounds of kaiser moving about books and flipping through pages before he settles back down in bed, opening up to a page he's bookmarked— ] "The cheapest sort of pride is national pride; for if a man is proud of his own nation, it argues that he has no qualities of his own of which he can be proud; otherwise he would not have recourse to those which he shares with so many millions of his fellowmen..."
Keep reading. ( but since it's philosophy, he only catches every other word, anyway, so... kaiser can keep talking to him in his soothing german mamo voice and sae will drift off. eventually. )
[ blah blah blah "The man who is endowed with important personal qualities will be only too ready to see clearly in what respects his own nation falls short, since their failings will be constantly before his eyes. But every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and glad to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.".................
but will kaiser be let back in sae's apartment now :( ]

[ in... a certain way. ]
... Well? Feeling any more settled down now? Try closing your eyes and just listening to me yap for a little, see if that lulls you to sleep.

( no comment on that. but, true, he was trying to sleep, then kaiser distracted him... as he'd thought would happen!!! )
Okay. Talk about something boring. ( NOT birds. )
