Kai laughed at that, waving a hand in front of his face. "Nah. Not all of 'em. Gojira hung out at our place when the renovating was goin' on, so I'm biased."

"Pretty much," Kai chuckled. He'd been slipping his hand in his pocket, pulling out that familiar little pouch of dragon snacks. "Ready to spoil on the fly and everything."

Here it was, all the proof that she was hanging out with a terrible, no-good, bad boy. A rebel! A rascal!

Kai pocketed the contraband with a shrug, amused at all the hush hush of it. "Guess we'll find out, huh."

Kai on the otherhand wasn't too fussed about zoo jail. He figured probably the worst thing that would happen was that Kai would get a gentle reprimand to please don't do that again.

Truly a dangerous lad, so unafraid of the Law.

"Devoted to my cool uncle status," he corrected. Lizard town was just ahead of them now-- you could tell, because all of those heat loving lizards were piled up on the sunniest spot they could find.

Look at them all. Majestic creatures, every last one of them. Kai echoed Kyoko's motions, squinting a little as he did so.

"Yeah, well, you're gonna demote me in a second, 'cuz they all look like Gojira."

Well, not all of them. They did come in different colors and all that, but a lot of them looked fairly similar to each other. Not being able to recognize your kid was probably a surefire way to end up in the Bad Parent club maybe.

Oh, but, there was one with [definitely pre-established colors] that had (slowly) turned its head towards them as if Kai's mop of hair was a beacon. It (slowly) flickered its tongue. Its majestic down on its back swayed gently in the breeze faster than any of those latter motions. Kai pointed at that one.

"Think that's him."

It was true, Kai had probably caught sight of her cooing at the baby dragons much like this before. Truly it had been some good progress. Please appreciate all of their majesty.

"Mhmm. Real handsome fella." Kai was engaging in an intense bout of staring with the lizard. It was as if they were sizing each other up, or more likely just searching for a sign that actually yes, they knew each other. Luckily, Kai knew that Kyoko wasn't the only one that had come to learn what the pouch in his pocket meant.

Cupping a hand around his mouth, Kai called out, "Heeyyyyy~ Gojiiii~!" This effort was met with another (slow) flicker of a tongue. That was until Kai held that little pouch up for the lizard in question to see and then

suddenly

it was scampering

at TOP SPEED.

"--Ah, yeah, that's definitely him."

That's extremely kind of you, Kyoko! Even if, maybe, this frantic behavior was even more attention-grabbing. Maybe.

"Mmmhm." Geez, what a nonchalant response that was. Kai was hoisting himself up on the railing, crossing his arms just over the edge so he could get a good look at this big, beautiful boy (?).

"Hey there, bud." Flick flick went that long tongue. "You gettin' enough to eat in there?" Flick flick flick. "I know, s'gotta be rough if all your friends are as gluttonous as you." Look at that impatient stamp of feet. "Yeah, yeah."

Fishing out a generous piece of mystery jerky, Kai kinda just... let it drop. Oh no. An accident. "Oh no," he echoed, softly. "Oops." He said. "Oh dear."
