Evan took a couple of deep, calming breaths before pulling himself to full height.
"Oh, thank goodness!" Good, she had not been waiting long. So at least he could wipe that worry away and not think about it for the rest of the day. And now that he'd taken those deep breaths, his face might have still been flushed but he at least wasn't looking as out of shape and could proceed with their exploration.
He was trying to not notice the bright smile, though he knew he was also matching it and bouncing a bit now too since no longer doubled over. "I have no doubt I will!" But in terms of starting wherever he wanted to? He had zero ideas what to actually expect, so instead he offered, "How about we start at your favorite exhibit and work our way from there?" Normal zoos usually had a loop or route that was fairly easy to see. So hopefully Scamander's wasn't going to be too different. "Shall we?"
The boy needed to stop worrying where she was concerned. Waiting a couple of minutes wasn't all that big of a deal. There was far worse things that could've taken place and they both knew that. Thankfully nothing like that was the case and all was well.
Lia noticed rather quickly that smile on Evan's face and the way that he was kinda bouncing a little in the same way that she was now that he was breathing normally again. It made her giggle just a little and smile all the more. Happiness really could be contagious and it was a wonderful thing! Now she had been expecting him to respond with something, anything but of course he would answer the way he had. It was Evan.
"My favorite? This is supposed to be your trip." Cue more laughter.
"If that's really what you want to do though, we can do that. I hope you're ready for a long day filled with lots of fun!" With that, Lia held out a wrist band.
"Our tickets. It's easier to wear them an a cute little keepsake. My sister got them ahead of time. So are we ready?" Heads inside so they can show the receptionist their tickets and head to the staircase and go inside!
