<strong>Shima</strong>~ Listening in on the conversation.<br/><br/>It had been easy to slip near and be unnoticeable.  Everyone was speaking to each other so kindly and politely but something nagged at her.  Why exactly was everyone gathering in the first place.  It seemed like something she should know, that it was important but everytime she grasped at it it would flit away like a bird.  Or like that, she thought as she watched a winged girl fall out of a tree.  She wanted to laugh but she was caught up in her thoughts of what was happing here.  Finally she could take it no longer and she stepped forward, almost flaring silvery light.  It glowed a bit under her skin but faded with her annoyance.<br/><br/>"Excuse me?  But can you tell me why everyone is here?  In one place?  It doesn't seem.....right somehow.  Everyone should be roaming the world happily and yet here you all are.  Can you tell me," Shima spoke with concern, the soft tones of her voice taking on an edge of command before falling back into a dulcet sibilance.  She gave each of them, the mermaids, the great cats, the bears a significant look.  It was important that she know.
