Do the birds suffer so?

Fabrice's line of work, part of a witch-led team of zoo veterinarians, suits him perfectly: he spends most of his time with animals rather than people. Occasionally, however, that tends to change, and, for once, Fabrice is eagerly anticipating it. The Siren Cove Wildlife Refuge and Zoo likes to put on a petting zoo exhibit, especially at the beginning of summer when the weather's nice and the kids are just getting out of school. Fabrice and his coworkers typically draw straws to see who has to deal with kids and their parents, but this time, when his name is called, Fabrice finds himself actually satisfied to be the vet on hand for the event.

They have a wide variety of animals this day, most of which are very people-friendly.

They also have some more exotic kinds of animals as well, such as mountain lion cubs, tiger cubs, and baby llamas.

As Fabrice walks around the petting zoo, watches the delight on both the animals and the children's faces, even as his own face burns with the terrible sunburn he got from the wine festival, Fabrice is reminded how much he loves his work, and how lucky he truly is.

OOC: Happy zoo post! I know there's a lot going on plotwise right now, but I just wanted a happy post. Feel free to come in and aww at the animals, say hi to a very sunburned Fabrice, or just have fun. Enjoy!
