Lotus came from the wild forest in China. She's familiar with fireworks. But not familiar on the reasons why anyone would do such things. That, and the sounds are similar to bombs and anything that would be aimed at them. So despite the light show, it's still scary.

James doing his best to calm her and just explains why this is happening. Especially on this day.

She's not usually this clingy....though she been wanting to hold him. So...this works out. He usually keeps her at a distance. But for this moment, he understands....a little. He's born and raised in civilization. And never had to fully deal with being faced with a gun. She have.
