Skylee walked through the ship towards the karaoke bar, Sam's strong arm draped reassuringly around her shoulders. There were getting to be more people out and about now and Skylee wasn't used to being around so many people. Most of her days were spent with animals. And strangely a herd of horses was far less intimidating than a crowd of people. Horses she understood and knew how to read, but people were far harder to read and understand. People wear masks of deceit, ingrained on them by the peer pressures of society. Animals have no such masks or societal expectations; what they feel or think are there for anyone to see.

When they hit more crowded areas, Sam would again shift in front, using his broad shoulders and height to cut a path through the crowds. He never really let go of Skylee, one arm would curve behind his back to hold onto her hand, making sure that she was following him. Before long they reached the karaoke place, which at this time of day was pretty much deserted. Once inside, Skylee came to a halt next to Sam as they waited for Tom and Daisy to catch up.
