It wasn’t evolutionary mutualism that had bought them together, the squirrel monkey quickly realised.
No, their paths do not cross in the wild. The squirrel monkey does not drop from the trees to the river bank. It cleans the fur of other squirrel monkeys - its clan - its loved ones.
Was it the torment of other monkeys? Was it the interminable tension of that small enclosure that had formed their bond? Could it really be reduced to security and brute strength?
No. No, it was simply… the feeling of ease they felt together. He wondered for a moment if they would have recognised it in the wild. Outside of the enclosure. On the river bank. In the trees. Would they even have met? It didn’t matter. The comfort of warm, layered fur, and the peace of small gentle paws. It was the only explanation they needed.
