John made a noise that sounded suspiciously like hee as he caught sight of the boy. "Was me at that age, actually."
Except where the lad had been trying to see sharks, he had been breaking into the Presidential suite with Koschei, trying to get a look at the man's cat. It had been Ushas' suggestion, and the cat hadn't been anything that special, but same idea. All spark and spunk and vigor. And never mind the fact that he didn't even know if that memory qualified as his or not.
Returning the memory to its mental shelf where it would, doubtlessly, gather more dust, he pulled his eyes away from the boy. "Could go see the primate house. Great things, monkeys. Distant relatives of the human race and all that."
