Batari nodded, "Zhi's four. Soon to be five." She explained, pushing some hair behind her ear and giving Eric a small smile. Zhi giggled as he followed behind Jayson, finally catching up to him. Seeing the bears were getting closer, he tried running faster, only to stumble a little and pout as he stopped. "I can' go as fast as you..." He told Jayson, his way of tossing in the white flag.

Eric nodded. "Well, its not too much of an age difference then. At least their getting along." he grinned back to her, glancing back at Jayson making sure he didn't get too far ahead. Jayson continued running even after he heard Zhi whining about something. He had made it to the bear cages, but by the time he got there, Zhi had stopped where he was at, and instead was walking. Jayson frowned at first, but as soon as his friend was with him, he turned back to the bears, pointing to one of them sleeping. "Hey look! It's my brother in the morning!" he giggled, talking about Eric when he said that. "He likes to sleep in a lot too, just like that bear!"

Zhi laughed loudly, jumping up and down at the cages. Batari couldn't help but cover up her own laugh as well. She looked to Eric, "hmm? oh... yeah..." She muttered, before having to stop herself from laughing, now not able to help but imagine Eric as a sleepy bear.

Eric simply just shook his head at Jayson's remark. "You know, Jayson. You better be nice to me, or I'm not gonna take you get that ice cream I promised you earlier." he called out to his brother, saying it more in a teasing way, even though Jayson immediately turned his head around with a frown to his face. "What??" he whined, Eric just shaking his head laughing himself, before Jayson realized he was teasing him, and though he still wasn't happy about it, he turned his attention back to Zhi and and the bears. "Bribery. Always works." Eric laughed, looking over to Batari then. "Bribery ever work on your brother?"

Batari nodded, a smile still lingering on her face, "I've seen daddy use it a couple times, I've never tried it though." She told him honestly. Zhi giggled, looking at Jayson with envy when he found he'd get ice cream. "Sissy!" He called suddenly. "What?" Batari asked him in the same tone. "I want ice cream too!" Zhi told his older sister, eyes wide. "Only if you behave." Batari told him, glancing at Eric and giggling. Zhi's face lit up as he returned his attention to the bears. Seeing a little bear, he pointed it out, "It's a baby one!"

Eric laughed louder then when Zhi suddenly went all crazy for the sweet stuff suddenly announced. "You see? That's bribery right there." he mentioned to her, still with a slight chuckle in his throat. Jayson giggled when Zhi pointed out the baby bear beginning to walk out. "Ooo~ its so cute!" he squealed again, gripping his fists tightly to the bars in excitement. And then, Jayson suddenly got an idea. A funny idea to him it was. While Zhi's eyes were busy focused on the baby bear, Jayson quietly let go of the bars of the cage, quickly and swiftly jumping on Zhi with his hands up next to his ears, growling like he had done earlier. "Grrawrrr!" he shouted, meaning for his little idea to scare Zhi for the fun of it. "I'm a bear! Grrawrrrr!" he shouted again, his mouth wide open with his tongue nearly hanging all the way out.

Batari giggled, "I know. I thought I'd try your idea." She told him with a smirk. Zhi jumped, letting out a small scream before laughing at Jayson. He pulled his hands up as if they were claws, "rawr rawr," he said with a smile, "I'm a bear, too." Suddenly, one of the older bears roared at the crowd, causing Zhi to look over, his eyes wide with excitement. "Woah~!" He said loudly.

"Pretty soon, you'll want to use it for just about everything, too." Eric told, letting out his own smirk plus a wink. "Sometimes I don't even get him what bribe to him. I just tell him that to behave." he snickered. Jayson giggled, his head suddenly turning back to the bear as it growled out of nowhere. "Whoa!! Cool!" he screeched, going back to his own bear like look. "Grrr! Rawr!" he yelled, his hands up next to his ears again looking like claws.

Batari laughed, "Now that's just mean." She told him, rolling her eyes, but her face still seemed amused. Zhi laughed, bringing his hands back up as well, growling again like he was a bear, hoping he would get another response from the bear.

Eric laughed. "Hey, it works doesn't it?" he joked, suddenly feeling his stomach start to grumble, as he placed his hand over his flat stomach. "Oo.." he simply put, looking back up to call Jayson over. "Hey Jayson! Come on, lets go get some lunch, I'm starved!" he called to him, Jayson just pouting his lips at him, and Eric shaking his head motioning with his finger telling him to come now. "Aww..." he whined. "You guys are welcome to eat with us, if you'd like." Eric mentioned back to Batari, partly hoping she would say yes.

Batari smiled widely, "Sure." She told him, hoping he would ask that. She turned to her little brother, "Come on, Zhi, let's go eat." Zhi was about to pout, only to be interrupted by Batari, "We're going to be eating with Jayson and Eric, don't worry."

"Where we gonna eat at?" Jayson asked his brother, skipping along between him and Zhi. "Um...how about the diner? Hamburgers sound good to you, Jay?" "Oo~ yeah! with extra fries too!" Jayson squealed, his eyes nearly popping out at just the thought of ordering his delicious salty fries. "The diner sound good to you?" Eric then asked Batari, nearly but not quite forgetting that she was beside him.

Batari smiled, giving Eric a small shrug. "Alright." She looked to Zhi, "Do you want a cheeseburger?" She asked, knowing he liked cheeseburgers. Zhi nodded excitedly.

Eric grinned, leading them to the diner, even if it was in a total awkward silence they held. But at least when they did arrived, it wasn't too far from the Zoo. Unusually then, Eric held open the door for not just the kids, but for Batari as well. Something he didn't normally do for anyone, not even for a girl. "I wanna pick a place to sit!" Jayson squealed, Eric giving him the go ahead with the nod of his head. "Come on Zhi! Let's go pick a table!" Jayson told his friend, tugging on his arm a bit, telling him to follow.

Batari smiled, putting some hair behind her ear as she followed the younger boys to their table. Zhi muttered an "okay" as he followed Jayson.
