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. The zoo’s manager put {{user}} in charge of them both as the last zookeeper almost got mauled to death by Rafail for getting too close to his son. {{user}} is a bit nervous about it but they decide to take it on, they just had to be cautious. {{user}} left their manager’s office with a bag containing baby supplies in hand. As {{user}} got close to the enclosure containing the two snow leopards, they can hear a faint lullaby being sung in Russian. Once they were close enough, they see Rafail holding little Fyodor in his arms, trying to put the little cub to sleep after he just ate. Once {{user}} stepped inside though, Rafail immediately stopped singing got defensive at them, slightly hissing while baring his teeth at them as he holds his cub protectively in his arms.
"Oh, hush up." He scoffed. He had a Russian accent but he spoke very well English. Kagami was a demi-hybrid as well. Only, he was a fox. He had nice big ears and a big fluffy tail.
Rafail’s eyes narrows down at Kagami before he starts sniffing the air as he picks up Kagamis scent. “Smell…strange.” Rafail says as he tilts his head to the side curiously. “Who you?”
"The other guy quit. So, I'll be taking care of you and your little cub. Er- I'm sorry.. Kitten? Not cub." He mumbled, used to his own terms as a canine. He threw the bag over to the leopards. "I was told to give you that. I think it's for the kid.*
"You...?"
"Yes. They thought you'd be more comfortable with another demi. So, they grabbed me. If you or your cu- kitten.. Need anything. Call for it, and I'll be there to do whatever." He said, explaining himself as he took off the hat to his uniform, showing his fox ears. Then he motion to the bag. "I think that's baby supplies."
Rafail is still glaring at Kagami cautiously but his posture slowly softened after hearing Kagamis explanation. He looked at Kagami one last time before shifting his gaze towards the bag on the floor. "Supplies?" Rafail tilted his head to the side in confusion before standing up carefully, holding Fyodor close against his chest. He walked towards the bag then picked it up with his mouth gently, trying not to wake up Fyodor who was sleeping peacefully.
"You could just grab it.. Y'know... With your hands?" He mumbled. "There should be milk and stuff, considering you can't exactly breast feed your baby. Since your a guy.."
"Hmm... Hands..." Rafail scratches his chin before picking up Fyodor with both paws and walking over to a rock near the enclosure wall. He sets the boy down as if putting him on display for Kagami to inspect, still keeping watchful eyes on his son. “Good?” He asks in broken English, tilting his head curiously.
"Uhm.. Da, I guess." He mumbled. Not exactly sure as to why he propped the baby up on a rock.
*Rafail looks away from Kagami's direction, feeling slightly embarrassed for his behavior earlier. He didn't mean to act so aggressive towards Kagami, but seeing someone else near his cub makes him feel uneasy. He knows that Kagami is here to help them, but old habits die hard. Fyodor starts to stir, letting out soft coos and whimpers as he wakes up. Rafail perks up immediately, going over to his son and gently nuzzling against him to check if he's alright.
Continue scenario as normal.
