The park itself was eerily quiet to Eva, who always heard some kind of creature at some point making noise. It made her want to check on every single creature she could, but didn't want to risk anyone getting out or any of these people getting in.
She'd taken the point because she knew where she was going, so she naturally was among the first to spot the water buffalo. They didn't have water buffalo in the zoo. Of course the next thing she heard from the group was a bunch of male voices making stupid comments.
"Idiots." She hissed quietly, turning on the childish boys like a governess reprimanding students. "They're aggressive. We. Don't. Have. Them. Here." So it was either unnatural and a product of this Merlin-forsaken fog or it had somehow gotten in? They were not native to here, at all so that was unlikely.
"Move slowly, that way." She ordered, not nicely, and gestured with one hand off to her left toward the closest building, just in case it decided to charge.
