*Nessa smiled and got them two tickets and a map of where every animal in the zoo was located. There were all kinds of animals there. Nessa smiled to Amala.*
"Now, sweetie, what animal do you want to see first?"

Amala looked down at her book of animals and itched her chin like she had seen her daddy do a million times before "Giwaffes!"

Nessa laughed and kissed her daughter.*
"Then Giraffes it is, sweetheart."
*She carried her daughter over to the place where the giraffes were standing. Nessa called out something gently in Elvish, and one of the Giraffes came over to Amala, so near that the little girl could touch it, if she wanted to.*

*Nessa smiled and looked at Amala.*
"Do you want to ride on the back of the giraffe, with Momma?"

*Nessa smiled and kissed her daughter.*
"Your daddy is right, sweetie. You will get far by respecting the animals. Do you know how to talk to them yet?"
*She turned to the giraffe and looked at it, trying to get contact, and felt it immediately.*
"What is your name?"
*She spoke mildly to the giraffe, using a quite different language than the humans.*
"Twiga. It means "Bisquit" in Swahili."
*The giraffe answered back.*

*Nessa smiled and kissed Amala's hair.*
"I just feel in touch with Mother Earth and with the animal's soul. From there... well, things just happen."
*She spoke to the giraffe again.*
"Nice to meet you, Twiga. I am Nessa Telemnar, and this is my daughter, Amala."
*The giraffe turned it's warm, brown eyes to look at Amala.*
"Nice to meet you, Amala. How old are you?"

((Awwww. She is so sweet! *melts* ))
*Nessa smiled and followed the conversation between Amala and the giraffe. The giraffe seemed to understand the little girl perfectly. Perhaps because Nessa discreetly had placed a hand on Amala's shoulder, in an attempt to transfer some of her animal talk magic to her daughter? Anyway, the giraffe answered.*
"I am two years old."

*Nessa smiled and translated aimiable to the giraffe.*
"She says that you're little, like her."
*The giraffe smiled gratefully for the translation of Amala's adorable baby language, then turned to the little girl again.*
"Not exactly, my dear. I am a young adult giraffe. I already have got myself a family. Do you have a family?"
