"It is beautiful," Dark agreed, "and strange. But I have always loved what is beautiful and strange. I wish Daizi could see this. I am glad we came here."

"She'd like the octopus," Alec agreed. "And the manta-stingray thingies."
"And the shipwreck," Xander added, almost falling but then catching himself.

"I think she would like much of it." Dark said, a bit of sadness just barely creeping into his voice. He had adjusted to the practicalities of living with and loving a blind woman, but even still, sometimes his heart still felt some longing for her to be able to experience the world the way the rest of her family could.

"Nice!" the twins cheered and scrambled around to find the way back so they could get on the walkway again. They didn't even pause to look at any of the other displays, focused on getting around to where they'd begun.
