Animals that take it easy, together
Sea Otter
You float side by side with your friends, keeping what matters to you tucked safely away.
Sea otters gather and float together in the sea, taking their time grooming their fur. When they sleep, they wrap themselves in kelp so they don't drift away. A loose fold of skin under each forearm lets them stash a favorite stone or some food.
You enjoy relaxing with others, yet you never forget to prepare so you don't get swept along. You don't panic; you keep your own pace and are good at keeping your surroundings in order.
The more something matters to you, the more quietly you tuck it away instead of showing it off. You can keep using a favorite tool or idea for years because you keep it close at hand, ready to pull out at any time.
