Deer are pretty in pictures. ( She approves of this choice greatly — in part because: ) They look like small horses.
( She would like them almost as much, except you can't ride a deer, and they run away from you. Horses become your best friend — she assumes, particularly after seeing the Munsons' horses up close.
She likes that this is his favorite. It's very sweet. He could have picked anything from alligator to pterodactyl, but deer are nice. Maybe they'll see one today? If they come around here, it feels possible...
A few moments of quiet pass, and her earlier question finally floats to the top of her mind. )
Can I ask you something? ( Assuming it's a yes: ) If Charles was still alive where I come from, in my year... do you think you maybe are, too?
( Because if so... if so, maybe she could have somewhere to take her friends, once they make it out of America. Maybe they could have somewhere safe to go. )
