"I'm only joking," Jude chuckled, watching the lemurs walk around their little habitat, "–Well, half-joking."

Nyx sighed softly. "Ugh. Gross." he replied, shaking his head and watching the lemurs too.

"It's okay, though," Jude sighed, dismissing the city's problem with litter and overcrowding, "The better parts of the city make up for it."

Nyx shrugged his shoulders. "I guess so." He replied. "I haven't seen much of it yet."

"But you will," Jude smirked, softly nodding to himself, "For example, tonight we're going to walk around a bit, and later, for dinner, we're going to a secret, tourist-free restaurant that is the coziest place you'll ever set foot in."

Nyx nodded a little bit. "Hmm. Okay." He replied, going over to nuzzle Jude's cheek. He leaned into Jude.

"Mhm, 'can't wait to see your face when you try pizza," Jude smiled, running a hand through Nyx's hair with a pleased expression, "Yesss, New York pizza, it's gonna be perfect."

He smiled a little bit. "I can't wait to try it." he replied with a slight shrug, leaning into Jude's hand, half-melting at even just that simple little touch.

"You'll wanna try a lot of things," Jude said with a little smirk, tipping up Nyx's chin to look at his stupidly blue eyes. Too dreamy for your own good, He thought.

Nyx wrinkled his nose. "I wanna try everything." the cyborg male responded, looking up at Jude with a faint little smile.

"Hmm? Even the rat-infested subway with mariachi bands?" He said in an amused tone, licking his lips and trying not to laugh at the mental image of Nyx trying to navigate the train schedule on a weekday.

Nyx wrinkled his nose again, thinking. "I don't know what a mariachi band is, but…maybe." he replied with a shrug, looking up at Jude.

"It's a genre of Mexican music–" Jude smiled, "It's pretty fun up until the moment when you're reading on a forty-minute ride to Long Island, and you're like, "Oh, a guitar player. Oh, another guitar player. Oh, an accordion player—and then  oh no…" He laughed, shaking his head, "It's not exactly fun to sit through."

He chuckled softly at Jude's description. "Hmm. Maybe so." He replied with a shrug. "I can guess that that would be quite annoying."

"It is," Jude said with a teasing smile, raising his eyebrows in a playful shrug, "But since you wanna try everything…."

Nyx sighed loudly, burying his face in the crook of Jude's neck. "Stop teasing me." he complained. "I'm allowed to want to try lots of things."

"'Course you are," Jude smiled, gently ruffling Nyx's hair, "And the thought of being there with you is something I'm looking forward to."

Nyx took a deep breath, letting it out. "Hmph." he grumbled, staying cuddled close to Jude. "I wanna see more of the zoo now." he added.

"Your wish is my command," Jude replied, placing a quick kiss on his cheek, "And…remind me to show you Aladdin sometime. I loved that movie as a kid."

Nyx blinked, and nodded. "Mhm. Alright." he stood up straight again, hand still linked with Jude's, smiling softly.

"So– there are…more lemurs, wow," Jude chuckled as he caught sight of the next few enclosures, swinging their linked hands as they walked.

Nyx rolled his eyes goodnaturedly, stopping to peek at every enclosure they passed. "Hmph. I like them, for your information."

"Oh yeah?" Jude smiled, trying to press down a smirk, "What's so special about them?"

He sighed. "Uhm. They're…" he sighed. "They're cute. And some of the first animals I've seen. So I like them."

"Mm, of course, cute." Jude nodded as they moved from each exhibit, "And you're gonna see lots of more animals, today. Like– ooh, a snake," He smiled, his eyes widening at the sight of the reptile.
