[It's probably inappropriate to just scoop the kid up, but Ain has... no idea how social conventions work, and the mother seems fine with this. So, Ain picks up a kid and sets the kid on the railing, though he holds on to make sure they don't fall.]
Haha, I read a lot of books. Mr. Shadow and his roommate have a big collection here, but I've gotten my hands on some while I was outside, too.
[and they were roommates]
It's hard to see, but one of the Venus flytraps just caught something. It has its mouth closed. See?
[Is he saying this to the hoard of children or Vash? The answer is yes. Ain isn't really sure if the traps "caught" food so much as "a worker probably fed it", but still.
Either way, kids are squirrelly, and when they're done looking they're done. Ain returns the kid he sort of stole back to their mother and waves goodbye to the crowd. They're all walking the opposite direction, it seems. Kidless and with less little toes to accidentally step on, Ain takes Vash's hand again.]
