There was that name again. Victor thought hard about it, but it took him awhile before he remembered. No wonder he hadn't gotten it the first time, it wasn't his memory so it'd been filed away with the snippets of dreams and imagination that came back on rare occasions. He climbed out of the pen, not bothering to clean himself off anymore. Most of the children from earlier in the day were gone, stranglers being coaxed into coming with their parents and guardians with promises of getting something to eat, or that someone would be getting very cross.
"Well, just what it was like. What you liked about it. Maybe if I was a good... person." It didn't take long to find a park bench, not far from a statue of what looked like some kind of viking or something, wielding a sword and shield. There were plenty to choose from, the tide was out which left most boats sitting on their keels in the muddy river bottom, some of the smaller ones leaning rather haphazardly to one side. Victor took a seat and looked out at a scene not at all like those he grew up with.
"Would you be disappointed if we didn't go back home for the summer?"
