Dawn: Lamb Sakes, that's wonderful! I'm so happy for you and your friends!
Vernon: Always good to hear about that sorta progress goin' on outside our city. When you live in Zootopia sometimes it's easy to ferget there's a whole big world out there that's filled with its own inter-species relationship struggles. Yer sorta...fixated on yer immediate surroundin's.
Dawn: Granted Zootopia is quite a...multi-national draw in terms of vacation and emigration, so living here sort of brings all of Animalia to your doorstep in terms of foods and cultures. Especially over at the Animalia World's Fair.
Vernon: Yeah, I don't think there's a corner of the world's foodstuffs that ain't covered over there...*Chuckles* Me, Wade and Gus have all made ourselves sick from stuffin' our muzzles whenever we'd go down there fer the day. I think I finally get why the ancient Pridelander's used to have them 'vomitoriums'. *Laughs* We really need to take the pups sometime soon.
Dawn: Oh they'd probably love that, well minus the overstuffing their faces with foreign treats, lest they turn the rides...or our laps into little vomitoriums...
Vernon: *Chuckles* Yeah, good point.
Dawn: As for a world book tour, well I'd honestly love to do it. I mean, I've been talking to my publisher about it, and they are very on board...it's just...well it's quite difficult right now. Between raising our lambs and Vernon's job, it's been a bit of a stretch just making a North Mammalian tour work. Between Vernon's availability, and having Wade, Gus or Dorian and Audrey free to watch the pups, it can be a nightmare.
Vernon: Not to mention cuttin' it close with all them exhaustin' red-eye flights back home. Comin' in ready to drop, but still havin' to pick up the pups and then prayin' we get enough sleep a'fer we gotta send 'em to school, er' I gotta go to work. At least y'all get to sleep in once the pups are at school.
Dawn: Maybe before Paige was born...but not anymore. *Chuckles* Right now she's kind of stuck in a crepuscular sleep cycle that...I'm really hoping won't persist when she's a toddler. Anyway, I'm hoping that we'll be able to put together an international tour for sometime next summer. With the Lambs out of school for Summer break, and with Vern being able to Telecomm some of his job, it seems like the most feasible time for such a tour.
Vernon: They said they won't need me 'in-office' as much over the Summer iffin' I need the out. But fer the next few months we got some crunch meetin's.
Dawn: That said, I'll see what we can do about making Singapurr one of our earlier stops if we can make the tour work! I hope to see you and your friends there!
