As much as Valerie loved her work it was always good to take a break. Usually people would take these opportunities to do something completely unrelated to their work but not Val. No. She spent her time working with sea animals and so where did she go when she had time off? To an aquarium. She wasn't about to let anyone know that's what she did but she found it oddly calming. Just watching the animals that she had no responsibility over. It wasn't quite the same where she worked. Here she could relax because she knew nothing about the animal's history and rather than studying their health she could just sit back and enjoy watching the animals like she used to. No matter what she always found herself in front of the Dolphins, she wasn't much for watching the shows where the trainers made them do tricks (even if it was impressive) but more for just watching them swim around naturally. If they did tricks then it just seemed more special.
... This was all sounding rather silly. Moving on.
Standing in front of the glass wall that seperated her from the animals she took a couple of steps back, tilting her head ever so slightly as she watched the fish swim. She was perfectly content right then as she gave a small smile at a school swimming past.
