Claire huffed as her white, high-heels clicked against the terrain beneath her feet. She had left her jacket on the Jeep as she thought it wasn't needed, and the heat was exhausting and making her feel grotty and sweaty - when in reality, her forehead shone a little, but she wasn't sweating horribly.
Having plucked up the courage to ask Owen, a friend and Velociraptor Trainer - to take her to the Raptors' paddock. She hoped to mingle and become friends with his flock - or as he called it "his pack" - of Velociraptors. She sighed heavily as she reached his current spot. She noticed he was not at the paddock quite yet, so she hoped to jump the question at him as soon as possible.
Once reaching him with her quick, small steps, Claire cleared her throat before speaking out in her professional tone of voice: "Mr Grady, I was hoping I could come into the paddock with you today." She spoke with a firm voice, even though she almost felt like shaking. What if the damn things didn't like her being around? 'I hope they don't try to eat me...' She thought solemnly, almost outwardly shuddering at the images that flashed through her brain.
Ah, that would be truly troublesome for her...

Tremble, little lion man, You'll never settle any of your scores Your grace is wasted in your face, Your boldness stands alone among the wreck
Another day in Owen's shoes. From his point of view, Owen's job is dangerous. As many would point at it with a thrilling look in their eyes of how he's able to 'control' the raptors. His raptors are far from safe, they might seem like it, but they're using that for their own advantages. It's better now they're in a paddock, away from the prying eyes of others with special entry to watch the training going on. The behaviours of the raptors aren't quite stable yet. They still remain neutral. Just because of Owen's status as their Alpha, they remain calm around him. Even a little at least. Training them, one day after another to make a good behaviour come out of the animalist ones that demands nothing more than meat for their sharp teeth. He's not even there to begin with. Owen didn't want to go there yet until he's done with his bike. Placing the now dirty rag away after rubbing his hands on it. Mr Grady, I was hoping I could come into the paddock with you today.His eyes flickered to meet Claire's blue ones briefly. " Mister Grady? " He repeated, not sure he heard it right. " Why are you calling me Mister Grady? " He mocked how she said it, standing up from where he was sitting in front of his bike, twisting around to look straight at Claire. " You wanna meet my raptors? " There's a click of disbelief in his voice then again, it was what they agreed on. Pinching the bridge of his nose, he made a gesture to the vehicle Claire came with. " You wanna drive, or do you want me to? " MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOXOGRAPHY 2.0

"Mister Grady? Why are you calling me Mister Grady?"
"Because that is your name, is it not?" Claire huffed, placing her hands on her hips. She shook her head at his mocking tone, she was not up for that kind of nonsense today. She just wanted to meet his little raptor family before she mentioned the Indominous rex, and how he had to come with her to check it - later. For now, she just wanted to meet the velociraptors and acknowledge them - maybe, even, befriend them - and then she could be on her way - doing her job.
"You wanna meet my raptors?"
"Yes, that is what I asked." She spoke sternly, her hands not moving from her hips as they clutched on with a grip. She seemed eerily calm by her facial expressions, but she was annoyed with his tone of voice and how he seemed to be mocking her; and she almost felt sad at the thought that he was repulsed by her presence.
"You wanna drive, or do you want me to?"
"I would appreciate it if you took some time and effort to drive us to your little family's confined space." She spoke with a bit of sass as she walked up to the Jeep and sat down in the passenger seat, glancing over at Owen with a twitching, small, smirk on her lips; she began to tap her nails against her seat - acting impatient to annoy the tanned beauty that was Owen Grady.

Because that is your name, is it not? " But Owen works too, y'know. " He stated in a dry tone, letting his shoulders shrug for emphasis. Then again, Claire was known for her uptight talks, mostly formal as that's how she spoke all the day with others. It was time for him to get used to that tone now. She was serious about meeting his raptors then sure, he'll let her meet them but from a far distance to grant her safety. His raptors weren't lab rats like others they keep cooking up. Yes, that is what I asked. I would appreciate it if you took some time and effort to drive us to your little family's confined space.Owen narrowed his eyes, letting her words sink in and keep a few between them before he speaks. " Right, first let me change. " Scents can be quite distracting to the raptors and he's not ready to take that chance. Going up the stairs, he gave the door a quick push and disappeared in the darkness of his room. A few moments later, he was wearing his usual dark navy blue shirt and his leather vest with his pocket knife in a holster behind. Approaching the car with steady steps, Owen grabbed the handle of the door, pushing it back until he heard the click coming from it signaling that he had opened the door. Getting inside, Owen closed the door after him. Hearing the engine of the jeep roar to life after giving the key a twist inside, he took off from his bungalow to where the raptors were held. " Just a few things before we do this. " He gave a quick look to Claire from where she was sitting next to him with a determined look. " They can smell fear, you know that, right? " They can smell it like bloodhounds. From where he was sitting, he can practically smell it radiating from Claire's form. At least he hoped he was imagining it. " The second they smell it reeking from you, they won't act nicely. Try to think of something else if you feel yourself on the edge of fear. " He said sternly, clenching his jaw briefly. " You can still back out from this. The deal still stands too, " MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOXOGRAPHY 2.0

"But Owen works too, y'know."
Claire ignored his dry tone of voice and she merely kept quiet, knowing her response would probably be a harsh snap - so she just kept it to herself as she stared out the front window of the Jeep.
"Right, first let me change."
Claire did a quick nod as she tapped her fingers on the dashboard of the Jeep, her eyes scanning the area. Sure, she was a little scared of the raptors, and she was a bit jumpy about the idea of being near to them. But, she did need to know Owen's job and how it was progressing - being the Operations Manager and all, Claire had to know what was going on throughout the island. Even if Simon kept secrets from her about the civilization living up-north of the theme park...
When Owen came back, she noted it was his usual attire, and he carried a pocketknife too, which riled Claire up a little. Was it to tame the raptors? To stop them from attacking her or anybody else? Probably... and that wasn't helping Claire's inner fear of being eaten by the things!

"I'm not backing out of this!" She snapped, but her voice wavered slightly, her arms crossing over her chest, a stern expression on her face. "I have to check up on them for the park's statistics and diagnosis. I'm not exactly doing this out of personal enjoyment or personal curiosity."

I'm not backing out of this! " Woah, fine, easy, eager. Might twist a nail. " Owen rolled his eyes by her sudden snap. Then followed the usual cross of shoulders, the stern expression. Just like old times she gets stubborn over something. He just wanted to make sure she remains safe, that's all his point hints to. Owen also knows that she can be strong and work good with the raptors. He'll see how it works, his state with the raptors meant that she'll be good for the a while. Taming the raptors by using their bond to keep them under his control seems to be his point all along. I have to check up on them for the park's statistics and diagnosis. I'm not exactly doing this out of personal enjoyment or personal curiosity.Nodding, Owen fixated his blue eyes on the road, taking off to the paddock. " It's just a fair warning, " the man said, clutching the steering wheel tighter, shifting on the seat with his other free hand on his thigh, driving closer to the paddock now. It's going to be a long ride and so Owen took the chance to talk to Claire a little more. " How's everything goin' so far for ya? " Owen soon asked after the mere thoughts clouding his judgement for a while. He wanted to create a conversation, he might as well go for it now then before they enter the paddock and take her to the raptors. Owen fixed his eyes back on the road after looking at her briefly, soon after asking his question. MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOXOGRAPHY 2.0
