The skimpy outfits drew everyone's eyes - the women's in outrage and jealousy, the children just because of the bright colors, and the men - well, there was little denying why the men looked.  Mina wasn't outraged, although she did feel a touch of envy.  The smiling faces above the low-cut, skin-tight outfits spoke of people that belonged - people that had nothing to worry about.  Maybe eventually - but she knew she would have to start low, if she managed to work her way in at all.  Right now, she hovered, wavering between being a guest and being a worker.<br/><br/>The part of her that still had the wonder of a visitor couldn't resist the lure of the announcer.  As the roar died away, she made her way towards the tent in question.  The crowd was large enough that she felt that she could easily lose herself in it - maybe even get close enough to see the panther itself.  She liked animals - even though she knew it probably considered chunks of bloody meat around her size to be food, she couldn't help wondering what it would be like to care for such a magnificent creature.
