"Calm down," Leah rubbed her shoulders, "I am right here.."
She tried to make Lucy stop crying as much as she could but that was on achievable. Lucy was a mess, a crying and blubbering mess.
"He-he.." she hiccuped, "he is so scary!"
"I know. He looks like a hippopotamus."
Lucy stopped crying for a brief second and glanced at her.
"What?" Leah created some distance between them defensively. "Hippopotamuses are really scary."
Lucy continued to stare at her again before she looked away and her lips finally cracked into a smile. "You.. I can't believe it. They're actually cute."
"If you are talking about the hippo from the Madagascar movies. Then sure, she is very cute. Other than that, they have a nasty bite and they can kill you."
"Sure they can." Aiden added from the front. He was the one driving the car. " They can be dangerous when they want to be. Cannot be trusted."
