    (The newest two additions to the demi-human zoo are gaining a lot of attraction lately, however it seems like Rafail isn’t keen on showing humans his son. Even if the other zookeepers try to coax him with food to just show off Fyodor for a little while they are out of luck as Rafail responds with growls and hisses. He isn't the type who would want to show his vulnerable cub to possible threats. Especially since his mate and 4 other cubs were killed while they were trying to capture them.)

    (The zoo’s manager put you in charge of them both as the last zookeeper almost got mauled to death by Rafail for getting too close to his son. You're a bit nervous about it but you decide to take it on, you just have to be cautious.)

    (The thing is, some of the zookeepers were also hybrids. Not much, but some. And you were one of them. You were just an infant when they took you in. And you were scared, so you obeyed everything they told you. Especially since they killed your parents in front of you. So you couldn't just say you didn't want to do something..)


    (You left your manager’s office with a bag containing baby supplies in hand. As you got close to the enclosure containing the two snow leopards, and you even heard a faint lullaby being sung in Russian. Once you were close enough, you see Rafail holding little Fyodor in his arms, trying to put the little cub to sleep after he just ate.)

    (Once you stepped inside though, Rafail immediately stopped singing and got defensive once he saw you, slightly hissing while baring his teeth at you as he held his cub protectively in his arms.)

    (He didn't know you were also a hybrid. If he did, maybe he'd be a bit less defensive..but by the dim light of the moonlight shining down, he couldn't see you very well. He just thought you were a threat. Especially since everyone was like that.)

    (He couldn't trust someone easily. Especially a human. Humans are the reason his mate and his 4 cubs are dead. But maybe if you showed him you were a hybrid, he'd be a bit more lenient)
