We blamed it on our youth

And I know I'm asking too much
And I know I'm taking control

They wandered along the overgrown path, passing this creature and that - but before long, a foreboding growl echoed from one enclosure, and - despite her better judgment - Soh drew closer to see what it was. A sea panther stared back at her, and Soh barely resisted the urge to bare her teeth in a snarl of her own. While she had nothing against most animals, it had been one of these that had killed Lena, and she wasn't sure she would ever view them with the same awe that she once had. "Come on," she muttered, and they hurried away from the enclosure.

With the sea panther out of sight, they managed to relax back into conversation, but Soh took a moment to partially shift her eyes and ears. Kaisel might not notice much of a difference, but with her tide jaguar shift's senses, she'd be able to keep track of any wayward animals that might be a threat.

"Thanks, Kai," she said, offering a shy smile his direction. "I dunno about turning into stars - that seems like Safrin territory, and I'm not sure that I'd make the cut for that particular ability." She paused, thinking. "But I could go back to doing cartography, or pick up a new hobby, or travel the world, or, I dunno... like I said, anything. Or, I guess, almost anything."

But a heart that's not worth breaking
Isn't worth much, not at all
