Tyson looked over at her in surprise when she hugged his arm, for a moment his heart seeming to forget how to work. He made a face at Audrey, his nose scrunching slightly. "Of course I like you, if I didn't I wouldn't be talking to you." He said matter-of-factly then turned his attention back to the flying skeleton, glad that nothing quite that big still existed but that made a thought pop into his head. "There's a bird called a Golden Eagle, it's so big that it can hunt goats."

Audrey rolled her eyes, but she held a big smile on her face, "YouUUuuuUUuuu like me." She laughed, feeling like she'd won the lottery just by getting Tyson to admit that. "Too bad I didn't have that recorded so you couldn't deny it later." She smirked, wondering if Amazon had a small recording pen or something she could carry in her purse. When he started randomly talking about an Eagle, she raised an eyebrow, eyeing the pterodactyl skeleton. "Goats you say?" She asked, tilting her head as she tried to imagine such a large bird, but all she saw was a feathered up pterodactyl.

Tyson held back a groan but couldn't stop himself from rolling his eyes. He didn't get what the big deal was, figuring it was obvious that he liked her since he was still hanging out with her and brought her chips. "Why would I deny it?" He asked her as he kept looking at the pterodactyl. "Yeah, they pick them up and...drop...them." He said with a slight grimace, thinking that would be a terrible way to die.

Audrey rolled her own eyes at him, but knew he wasn’t similar in the fact that he didn’t have a huge group of people or friends, where she always tried to make friends wherever and with whoever. “Cause.” She shrugged, not wanting to tell him it was because sometimes people were a little scared of his seriousness, but her eyes grew wide at the image of a goat falling from the sky. “I am never hiking again.” She joked, though really thought about getting hit with a goat that fell from the clouds.

Tyson looked at Audrey with confusion on his face but let it go. "I think it happens somewhere in Europe or something, you should be fine...unless you go there." He said, deciding he had enough of the pterodactyl and moved on to the next set of skeletons and reading over their plaques. He took out his phone and took a picture of a triceratops skull then the plaque before tucking his phone back into his pocket.

Audrey sighed, "Well, I don't go hiking when I visit Europe, so I should be good." She had so much fun the last trip she had to Italy, and would love to return back, the food was divine. She followed along him as he moved onto the next thing, pulling out her own phone, but pulling up Tik Tok, turning the volume off so she didn't disturb. She couldn't help but note he took pictures of the dinosaur, and wondered if he had a favorite. "What's your favorite dinosaur?" She asked, as if she'd know what he was talking about if it wasn't one of the four main ones she knew.

Tyson tilted his head, of course she had been to Europe. He doubted he'd ever leave the country unless it was a random trip to Canada or Mexico. He looked over at Audrey, seeing her phone but figured she wasn't going to pay attention to any of this. "Oh, velociraptors." He told her, envision the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park but also the artistic renditions with feathers, thinking they were extremely smart and fast creatures.

Audrey blinked her eyes a few times, "Oooo, the dinosaur during that creepy moment in Jurassic park, with the tall grass?" She couldn't remember if that scene happened in the first movie or the second, since it had been years since she watched either one. "I assume you've seen those movies." She honestly wasn't sure though, since he could hate them for maybe being inaccurate.

Tyson nodded, "yeah and the one that breaks into the building and hunts the kids in the kitchen." He replied, loving the Jurassic Park movies and having read the books as well. "Seen all the movies," he replied as he walked along the other exhibits in the dinosaur area.

Audrey smirked when he said he'd seen all the movies, "Perfect, come over and we can have a movie marathon! I haven't watched them in ages," She suggested, hoping he'd want to, wondering what she could bribe him with. "Popcorn, Cheetos, whatever sweets you want." She listed off, knowing she had a stash of goodies in her room, but if they did it another night she'd have time to go grab something else.

"Come over? Like, today?" Tyson asked with a slight furrowed brow, wondering if that's what she meant or if she'd want to plan for another but he had a feeling that Audrey wasn't much of a planner. "Cosmic brownies are the best snacks." He added, thinking it might be nice to munch on some while watching dinosaurs wreak havoc on a plan that was never going to turn out well.

"Or tomorrow, whenever," Audrey shrugged, hoping he didn't feel rushed with the planning. She made a note to grab cosmic brownies at the store before they hung out. If they hung out that is, she knew he could still say no to the offer. She bet she could find dinosaur themed party stuff she could get and decorate her room with it, hoping he found it funny.

Tyson chewed on the inside of his cheek as he thought about her offer. "Okay..." He responded, figuring it wouldn't hurt if they had a movie night though he doubted they could watch all of them at once. He lead her from the dinosaur exhibit and into the next, seeing that this one was Egyptian themed and though he wasn't super interested he continued to walk around and look at everything.

Audrey's smile was big and bright, even if it didn't sound like a confident okay. "Okay great, I'll get snacks," She said, her eyes falling on the Egyptian section and grew excited. "Okay, yes. Honestly, I don't mind this section." Granted it was only because of the movie The Mummy, but she at least thought Egyptian history was kind of cool.

"Okay." Tyson nodded, thinking that while she prepared whatever snacks he could go over what school work her had to make sure he wouldn't get behind. Which, even if he was sick for a week, he wouldn't get behind but the little voice in his head demanded that he checked to make sure regardless. Her next comment made him pause, looking over at Audrey with a raised eyebrow, "you like Egyptian history?"

Audrey shrugged her shoulders, "I wouldn't say I'm an expert," She was sure he knew more facts about Egypt than she did, but she didn't hate learning about it. "But have you watched the movie The Mummy?" She asked, wondering if he had a sexual awakening, she realized while watching the first two in the series that she was also into girls.

"The Mummy?" Tyson repeated, frowning slightly as he tried to think of the different movies he'd seen but none of them seemed to have that kind of name from what he remembered. "I don't think so," he finally answered, "I've never really been interested in Egypt." He shrugged a little, liking European history a bit more, especially during medieval times.

Audrey stared at him with wide eyes, her mouth dropping open with a gasp, "Well, we will have to have another movie marathon where we watch The Mummy." And the second one wasn't that bad, just terrible CGI. "Wow, so there are subjects you aren't a fan of." She teased him, stopping to look at wall of hieroglyphs.

Tyson nodded slowly, "okay..." He made a mental note to look up the movie to see what it was about before this movie night. He frowned a little at her next comment, "well yeah, it's impossible to like everything." He pointed out to her, looking up at the wall that she was looking at, eyes narrowing slightly but none of it made sense to him, even with the explanation given on the wall next to it.

"I don't know, I assumed you smart guys liked learning about everything." Audrey said as she ran a hand over the words of a display for some Egyptian jewelry she moved onto, that had been discovered in some tomb ages ago, and while she didn't care about the information, she liked the way the jewelry sparkled. "So, what else do you not like?" She asked, curious to see what else was on his hate list.

"And I assumed girls who like to party don't have interest in anything history related." Tyson responded, still a little surprised that Audrey had any interest in anything outside of her party life, especially something educational. He looked at her from the corner of her eye, "fish, they're creepy and gross." He responded with frown, "and cauliflower."

Audrey narrowed her eyes, but her lips curled into a devious smile, "I wouldn't say the history part is what interest me." Audrey pointed out, but it's not like she could ignore some of the history part, "You'd be surprised the things that interest me other than parties." Though she couldn't name things off the top of her head, they mostly came to her randomly, and somethings stuck, and somethings were just a phase. She raised an eyebrow when he mentioned fish, "So.. No aquariums and no cauliflower for lunch." She teased, feeling her stomach grumble at that moment.

"Then what is that makes you interested?" Tyson asked with a puzzled look on his face, wondering what else got her attention outside of what he typically saw her involved with. He quickly shook his head when she mentioned the aquarium and cauliflower for lunch, "no, that sounds like hell." He glanced down at her when he heard her stomach, "you should eat your chips, lunch isn't for a little while still."

"The stuff, how people could have possibly lived without internet, or T.V." Audrey chuckled, knowing she sounded a bit shallow about that, but she honestly wouldn't know how to live back in the olden times. She pouted, mostly about the aquarium, but she didn't like cauliflower either. "Cauliflower taste like dirt anyways." She scrunched up her face, wondering how all those people could eat cauliflower rice and not gag. She groaned when he said lunch was so far away, though she felt like they'd already been walking for hours. "I have a snack bar instead." She wanted to save the chips for later, for what, she didn't know, but she started digging through her giant purse, pulling out a Nutri grain cherry flavor bar.

"They worked, did chores, or they played games or told stories." Tyson answered, not thinking that the question could be a hypothetical. "Back then they didn't have the luxury stuff like we do." He added, wondering what life would be like if tasks weren't made as easy as they were now. He nodded in agreement about her statement on cauliflower, ready to leave the topic behind them. He watched her rifle through her purse, a little amused and amazed that she had a snack bar. "Do you keep everything in there?" He asked, wondering what else she could fit in it.

Audrey made a face, knowing she wasn't a fan of chores, "Where's the option to just, yeet yourself out of that era?" She joked, laughing, but besides playing games and telling stories, she didn't feel like she could live back in the eighteen hundreds for sure. "Oh yea, I have everything I might need in here." She said with a prideful smirk on her face as she held her purse open to show him how stuffed it was, the bag of Cheetos he gave her earlier safely tucked to the side.

"That would be suicide." Tyson replied, thinking living a simple life like that might be nice but he couldn't see himself living without internet or his computer...or printed books. He looked down into her bag with a raised eyebrow, surprised at how much she had fit in there, reminding him of those magic bags from books and movies that women had that could anything without limit. "How can you find stuff in all of that?"

"Ah, good point," Though Audrey thought it would still be the better option, unless she had someone like Tyson to hang around, but she figured he'd be a scholar and wouldn't bother with someone like her. He shrugged her shoulders and hefted her purse back onto her shoulder. "It's not easy sometimes, but I just dig around till I find what I need." She giggled, knowing it had taken her a few minutes to find her room key.

Tyson nodded slowly, unable to see how that was efficient, maybe he'd look up different ways he could help her with her purse. "Huh...do you have batteries in there?" He asked, now wondering what kind of things she really did have in there.

"Hmmmm, what kind of batteries?" Audrey asked, trying to remember if she had put any in there at any time, though she started digging through her purse anyways to see what she could find. "Oh yea. I have a couple of double A batteries and a few triple A." She said, pulling out a ziplock baggie of batteries, a smile on her face.
