[She actually stumbles a little at him calling her out on that, and she stutters a few times, starting and stopping her sentences.
She doesn't answer at first, showing the ticket to edge herself inside with an almost palpable nervousness-- Like, somehow, the security will notice she's not human and throw her in a tank. When that obviously doesn't happen she exhales a breath she hadn't been aware she'd been holding and moves closer to Adolf. Her arm brushes against his, the brief physical contact grounding her.]
I may have... peeked. Briefly. I may have hit link by accident and glanced at it. [She answers at last, turning her nose up slightly as if daring him to call her out further on that.] It was not enough to ruin anything!
[Oona pauses for a moment again, looking around as she tries to decide what to do first. To her right flashes of color catch her attention and she grasps for Adolf's sleeve, tugging him to get his attention, to follow her, as she hurries to a large, circular tube-like tank that goes up through the ceiling. She can't say she really recognizes the colorful fish (is that one changing colors??) but her expression is delighted as she move around it, pressing her hands against the glass and leaning in to watch them swim.]
Adolf, look! [As if he can't already see them, but she grins at him, all delighted and excited like a child given free access to a candy store. She looks back at the fish and hums thoughtfully.]
I wonder how you would smuggle them out... [Is she joking... She slides a sly glance Adolf's way again. Maybe.]
