Big loud towers

The girl didn't even bat an eye at his stutter, which was all the same to Emile. His family hadn't ever seemed to notice it much, his siblings seemed to just assume that was just how he spoke... which was in a way correct, and so for now the boy would go on mostly assuming it was a non-issue, his confidence, and feelings of childlike desire for fun and friends unhindered by the girl. Somewhere in the back of his mind that would stick, that and the notion she was pretty but for now the boy was too young and simply too curious about the world and his new friend to even really notice any shift in his thinking about her. "Hi B-b....o!" He said, happy to already have a friend with a nickname. She asked what was he was doing and he looked back up at the falls again. "Try-try-trying to figure out wwwwwhere the wwwwater comes from." He gestured with his head towards the waterfall. She offered him more cautions about the waterfalls and he nodded, somehow it felt more real coming from someone his own age rather than just an adult... maybe it was just that it didn't feel like his parents just trying to ruin his fun.

Bowen said his name and the boy perked, looking at her expectantly, and when she asked if he wanted to go treasure hunting with him and he nodded excitedly, bouncing on his paws and tail wagging. Already his mind was running through all the things they could probably find together, probably a whole bunch of the flowers his mother seemed to value, or maybe a bunch more bug he could show to Jane!
