After the doctor's appointment, Chaehyun and Atlas made their way back to the Zoo, greeted by surprised expressions from our fellow employees upon their arrival.

"Atlas, why are you here? You're supposed to be off," Zahir exclaimed with raised eyebrows as Atlas strolled alongside Chaehyun.

"Well, Chaehyun needed my assistance with the logistics of relocating 'her Magnamallo' from its former spot to here. But fret not, I've already sorted it out with her. I'll be taking my two days off as planned," Atlas reassured Zahir, who nodded and wandered off. Chaehyun looked at him with surprise as they continued doing rounds with the others.

Chaehyun regarded Atlas with a mixture of surprise and amusement. "That was smooth," she remarked, her smile betraying her astonishment.

"Years of practice. I've learned how to navigate tricky situations" he replied nonchalantly, earning a grin from Chaehyun.

"I can't believe I underestimated you," Chaehyun admitted.

"Trust me, you're not alone in that," Atlas replied calmly.

"I'm just shocked you didn't call me Marshmallow. I was expecting you to stumble because I don't think you ever learned my name," Chaehyun quipped.

"I knew it the whole time," Atlas responded

" So why Marshmallow then," Chaehyun asked with surprise.

Atlas hands cup Chaehyun's face before he squishes both of her cheeks and she responds, "Okay fair, but don't you want a skinnier girl? I mean..." she starts but before she can go any further with that line of thinking Atlas interjects

"Don't finish that thought. I like you the way you are. You're sexy as fuck and if I didn't like you the way you are I wouldn't have fucked the shit out of you twice," Atlas responded

"That was crass..., but thank you," Chaehyun responded with a smile.

Atlas smiled as they strolled through the zoo. Fortunately, the chaos from yesterday had subsided. Deciding to be prudent, Atlas decided to check in on all his "sons" while we were there: Atlas (Glavernus), Sparky (Astalos), Blackbird (Valstrax), Alucard (Malzeno), Sloppy Joe Almudron), and Frozone (our Goss Harag). Frozone, known for his perpetual chill demeanor (pun intended), was always the last stop.

Entering Frozone's enclosure, Atlas found him looking considerably calmer than the molten rage he had exhibited the day before. Chaehyun trailed behind him, her eyes widening at the sight.

"I think this is the biggest Goss Harag I've ever seen," she exclaimed with excitement.

Frozone, with his ever-languid gaze, tracked their movements as they approached.

"Hey, Dad," his expression seemed to convey.

"Hey, son. Feeling better?" Atlas inquired.

"Yeah, just tired. I see you've brought someone new," Frozone observed.

"Oh yeah, this is Chaehyun," Atlas introduced.

Chaehyun waved enthusiastically. "Hi, buddy," she greeted, eliciting a mirrored wave from Frozone before he resumed his lounging.

"He seems so lethargic. Is he okay?" Chaehyun asked, concern evident in her voice.

"He's perfectly fine. Goss Harags aren't naturally active creatures, especially in warmer climates. Their low activity levels help conserve energy, particularly in the intense climates they often find themselves in. If we had another male or female, he might be more lively, but for now, he's just chilling," Atlas explained, reassuring Chaehyun.

"Don't make me do laps again, Dad. Please, I've been watching my weight," Frozone interjected with a glare.
