Maddie found herself at the zoo on a regular basis these days - between work and the genuine pleasure she felt visiting the zoo she was here a few times a week. Maddie observed a young man nearby whose distraction seemed to be almost palpable. She couldn't help but notice the weariness in his eyes. Curiosity piqued, Maddie couldn't help but observe him. He appeared deep in thought as if contemplating time, space and the meaning of the universe - as defined by the creature he was drawing. She understood the need for solitude and introspection, especially when life's demands seemed overwhelming. The zoo had started as that for her too, and now it was part of her life.

Her attention was abruptly drawn to a sudden commotion as a streaking blur darted past, snagging the laces of his canvas roll. His supplies scattered in every direction, and before he could react, the mischievous culprit, a diricawl, vanished with one of his brushes. Maddie couldn't help but stifle a giggle at the chaotic turn of events, covering her mouth with her hand.

With a friendly smile, she approached him as the commotion settled. Gathering the supplies that were closest to her, she offered him a hand. "Well, that was quite an unexpected encounter, wasn't it? It seems the diricawl has taken quite a liking to your sketching supplies," she remarked, her voice filled with amusement. 'Will you be able to finish without it?' proferring the fallen art supplies back to him.
