Calming Touch
Julian started petting the orca’s fin and speaking calmly to it. He didn’t know what else he could do at the moment and didn’t expect it to react. Then, to everyone’s big surprise, the orca became completely still.
It’s eyes softened, it’s sharp open stare began to relax and its eyes blinked. Julian couldn’t believe what he was seeing. It was an obvious sign that his touch made the beast relax. Or so he thought.
