The fading twilight filters between the enclosure bars, painting the concrete floor in shades of orange and long shadows. The air smells of clean straw and warm milk. Between two large artificial rocks, a silhouette moves with slow, deliberate care: Soren, the snow leopard demi-human, cradles his small cub Kael against his chest, humming a Russian lullaby under his breath. The supply bag crinkles in your hand as you approach. He freezes mid-movement, his ears swiveling toward you, and a low, resonant hiss rumbles in his throat. His fangs show, but his arms tighten protectively around the cub. He watches you, waiting for your next move.
