He...really didn't have anything else up his sleeve for that.

He also knew that right now was NOT the time to get into the details about Karina. Unless she asked about it - which why would she? - he wouldn't get in to all that. He smiled at Cami, who kept yelling "silly puppy!" at Broc as he turned in circles. Why did dogs do that? It was so goofy.

"Yeah, I took a personal day to let Cami get some fresh air, and I needed a day to just relax to myself," he added. Whoops. That had gotten a bit too close to his Karina thing, but he brushed it off. "After this I think we might go out to lunch," he added. "If you want to join us you can!"

She knew it was awkward for some people to realize how to treat the death of a zoo animal. Most people didn't understand the attachment you get by working with them all day every day and Khara had one of the biggest attachments to all her nifflers, she was their handler, but they were her family and she was blaming herself a little because if she had been alone in her apartment Herc would have been with her for twenty-four hour observation, but now things were different and she wasn't taking work home with her since it seemed to bother Digby. " Thank you, it will be alright, just a shock to many of us." She did appreciate the arm squeeze though and knew he meant well.

Watching Cami and Broc play together couldn't have been the best medicine that Khara needed. She smiled and laughed as the two seemed to get along nicely. "I think we will have to get these together to play more often." They were so much fun to watch, but soon she was looking back at Javi.

"Is work stressful right now or is something else going on?" She didn't know him to just take a personal day, but he did have a child so that could be the difference in knowing with Khara. She only took them when she was stressed, but she had to remember that when a child was involved things changed, priorities changed and now her eyes were back at Cami and something in her pulled a bit.

"It's a beautiful day to get out and be here."
