Yes, the CFF drowning response gives them a little more resistance to drowning than most norns not only just because they can notice it now, but because their lactate reaction isn't broken anymore... Like in real animals and in C2, lactate builds up when they have low oxygen, and causes muscle burn, but also stores some energy, it provides a slight reserve helping them survive for a while on low oxygen, and converts back into pyruvate (the normal, more efficient short-term energy store) when there is oxygen... fear from suffocation comes pretty quick in them if lactate builds up too high (it causes a burning sensation in the lungs and feeling of suffocation) and they may max out fear and have panic attacks lasting even a little while afterwards if they came close to death.

That odd pacing behavior could have to do with some of the tweaks to traveling and interactions with norns to get them to not stare and bibble at each other as much, especially the extra bump to Evos to make them like just walking for its own sake more... I upped the boredom reduction from walking in this breed by a good amount, and CFF already have a trait to get more quickly bored of just hanging around other norns. (Try reducing the boredom reduction from the 'I am traveling' stim back down a little... I haven't tested that aspect of them much and it's not really part of CFF proper, I just added it as a kind of extra quirk of this breed... they should just really like walking, but these might like it a bit too much).

Evos also have a bunch of extra new but weak instincts no other CFF has, about natural things like playing with and/or eating plants, bugs, flowers, and critters as ways to reduce hunger, boredom, or loneliness. They have a slight reflex to want bolt when they are hit and a behavior making them want to take any eggs they pick up to a nest... These last two I added based on the Gizmo genome.

Other than all that, they are the same as Isis & Osiris, my last CFF's except they have a fix to their hungerly drive overwhelmsion organ that should make them not able to get preoccupied with homesickness to the point of starvation anymore, and they have a tweak to their fullness lobe making it a lot more effective at making them not overeat, and libido lowerer should last longer in them, making them individually a little less likely to just get into a breeding spree (though I'm not sure this change will really make them that much less capable of popping out eggs like crazy as it is yet).

If they are friendlier though, I think it might just be because they are in a good mood more of the time because they are good at fulfilling their needs and because they don't annoy each other when they talk.
