Zac and the child had been walking for all of five minutes when the child suddenly ran forward. Up ahead were two women, one of whom Zac could easily tell was the boy's mother, thanks to the similarities they shared. The other looked closer to his age and had dark hair. This place is just full of cute girls, he can't help but think, feeling as though he made the right choice in coming to town.
Zac's attention is then pulled from the younger woman as the boy's mother thanks him, asking him if there was anything she could do to thank him. Zac smiles and shakes his head, saying, "You don't need to thank me. I'm just happy I could help out." Kneeling to be eye-level with the boy, Zac says, "Now, I hope you won't run off after anymore birds." The kid nods and Zac chuckles before adding, "This handkerchief is special. It's what let me show you that trick, but it takes a lot of practice to do something like that. And I want you to keep it." Grinning, Zac adds, "Maybe someday, you can do an even better magic trick than I ever could. Just make sure to take good care of it, okay?"
The boy looks at Zac for a few moments before grinning widely. He and his mother thank him once more, before turning to the younger woman. The woman thanks her for her help, as well, before she and her son walk away, the boy happily waving the handkerchief in the air. Zac straightens up, watching them walk off with a warm smile, before turning to the black-haired woman. "Good thing I have another dozen of those back at home," he says with a chuckle.
