Jungkook snickers when Yoongi bumps their shoulders together, slightly sheepish for the fact that even at Yoongi's most enthusiastic, Jungkook feels like he's probably coming off as more of the kid between them both. Now that it's clear that the rays aren't too startled by his presence, Jungkook draws his fingers more firmly down the length of the creature, specifically working down the center and towards the spindly tail. The docent tells them not to press too hard against the sliminess, because it's a necessary part of keeping the ray healthy, so Jungkook is careful not to press too hard, or to let his contact spread too wide. He goes only as much as the ray seems to be comforted by.

"Do you think they actually see all that well?" Jungkook asks, tilting his head to try and find the creature's eyes, which look a little droopy and almost grumpy, in contrast with the playful flailing of their wings. "Or maybe what they like is having someone almost scratch their back. Since I can't imagine, like, that it's easy for them to turn onto their sides and rub themselves against a rock or something."
