starting with this sculpture of Proteus being chained up. The seals are the real victims here.
Sculpture of Proteus being forcefully chained up. His is very upset. a seal at Proteus's feet. His eyes are wide and his mouth open in an alarmed bark. a second seal looks up at Proteus in pure distress. Sad sad seal.

Lucy, meanwhile, has decide to adopt the approach of suspicious staring.
A long hallway with a bend in the middle. Just before the bend is a calico cat, staring down the hallway creepily. In the distance at the very very end of the hallway you can just see another, floofier calico cat, also staring.

The babies are a week old but it's been tricky to get pictures because mama's been keeping them inside. But she came out for a goat milk snack. (We are milking our nanny goats rn because the kids are weaning.)
