Iris hung back for quite a while before making her way over to KJ "Good group?" She asked, her tone light. It didn't change how She eyed the group though. She had a tendency to get a little overbearing, especially with animals that would be put at risk if they did bite. Like large lizards that would do considerable damage. It was the major reason she didn't like the setup of the enclosures, but flawed or not it would be hard to get bit with the current setup.

He only looked away from the visitors when Iris approached him to talk. KJ glanced towards her, and he nodded, with a warm smile. "Yeah! They were a little quiet, but definitely one of the better groups." He loved to lead the tour groups around the reptile exhibits and talk about them - he tended to switch up the specific reptiles that he spoke about, especially if they were the ones that he took out to handle and give visitors the chance to handle. The only exception was the Komodo Dragon, of course, since it was one of the most popular and largest exhibit to talk about. But as much as he loved it, there also was the frequent 'type' of group that he got at least once a day that the tours were given (which he did a couple of times a week) that would be just awful to work with.

Iris nodded, still eying the people like a hawk. "I don't know how you do it" she joked, her tone passive. She was quiet for a moment before continuing, her focus still on the people. "The green tree python wouldn't take his mouse earlier, if your next group is old enough I could do a feeding. I think I just spooked him but I didn't want to bother him too much and decided to give him an hour or two instead of tricking him" She added, adjusting the half-apron at her waist. It was all pockets, and always full of stuff. She was focused almost entirely on care, and her hands got full fast.

Kieth held a small bag and a pair of gloves. He walked over to the big cats section of the zoo and walked through the employee only door. He found aspen coming bakc from feedin the lions. He walked over and smiled at her. "Morning Aspen, I just came to check on the new Black Panther, she here yet or still waitibg for her to arrive?" they were currently waiting on a black panther who had gotten her foot trapped in a bear trap and Kieth wanted to take a look at her the minute she got here.

River watched the wolves for a moment before turning around and heading toward the emoloyees only gate. She hadnt seen Veronica anyehere and figured maybe she was in the staff room. Shr walked in only to see Edgar and no veronica. She walked over and sat down infront of him. She gave him a small smile "hey there Edgar."

Missing the joke entirely, KJ responded seriously. "Oh, I find it enjoyable most of the time! I love talking about the reptiles and answering questions and sharing my love of the animals with other people." He inwardly sighed, contently. Seeing other people interested and happy in what he was doing made him happier. Then, he nodded slightly in response to her suggestion. "That would be great! The next group is in an hour, so that should be plenty of time..." he paused, trailing off for a moment as he thought, then he suggested, hopefully, "...perhaps you could talk about how green tree pythons hunt and eat? It won't take long at all."

Iris nodded a bit as he spoke, glancing over once or twice. The group seemed to be thinning so she wasn't too worried anymore. When he suggested she speak, however, she faltered a but before nodding. "Yeah, I can do that. If you're sure you don't want to" she replied, re-tying the string on her apron for no reason other than to keep her hands busy. She loved arboreal species in general, but the tree pythons were gorgeous and a bit interesting behaviorally. She could full a time slot and a half talking about them, easily, but want to keen when it came to the groups.

Eliza Dubois/Female/Heterosexual/26 years/Marine Worker/Location: Sea Lions/Tags; Open

Eliza smiled as she slipped through the door into the Sea Lion enclosure. She wasn't supposed to come into this enclosure at this time of day, but she wanted to check on the new pup that had been born a few nights before. He was a cute little thing. Eliza sat on top of one of the many rocks in the back of the enclosure and watched as the little seal followed around the larger ones. Eliza chuckled to herself as one of the younger females came out of the water and towards the brunette. Smiling Eliza reached into the bucket beside her and threw a fish to the female.

Edgar Troy | male canine worker | tags: River Boyce
Signing and speaking at the same time, Edgar grinned at his coworker. “Hello River. How are things going today?” While Edgar signed as well as spoke, he didn’t expect anything to exactly respond to him with signs. It was more of a habit than anything, but he knew that using sign language around people he talked to regularly would rub off on them eventually. Even just the simple, small phrases here and there. “Hopefully no problems with anyone?”

He noticed the falter, but pretended that he didn't - he was just pleased that his idea hadn't been rejected. "Sure! It'll give me a chance to rest my voice for five minutes. And it'll ensure the guests stay focused on the feeding as well, instead of turning to look at me while I speak at the same time." KJ replied, brightly. He glanced towards the guests, which had now dispersed a little more, going to other parts of the zoo. He didn't mind taking on the group tours on his own, but he did sometimes wish that his co-worker would be more willing to join in as well. After all, in his opinion, they weren't just there to take care of the animals, but to also educate the public about them.

"You just need to put your hand in, like this, and gently stroke the back of the ray as it swims. Gently, remember... and only on its back, don't put your hands near the tail..." Nathan explained and demonstrated to a small family, teaching them about the touch tank and the stingrays with a warm smile. "That's it. Sometimes they'll stay still to let you stroke them a bit more." Nathan added, as one of the children tentatively dipped their hand into the tank. "And when you're done, there's hand sanitizer pumps at the exit, and around the edge of the room as well." He finished, then he stepped towards the next few visitors that had just entered.
