R O M A N I
I Want You to Come in Closer

Never once had Romani ever thought that she would be delighted to kill an innocent creature… Yet the cub needed food, and she was the only one around who could provide it. Feeling the mouse’s bones crush beneath her greater weight, a feeling of relief swelled within the compact mare and she lifted a hoof, grimacing at the sight that lay beneath. Her relief turned to disgust and she shook her head.

“Disgusting… Well, I hope this will work until I can find something else.” Delicately, and clearly not wanting to move the dead rodent, Romani lowered her head and grasped the mouse’s tail in her teeth, turning on her haunches to return to the tiger. Underneath the willow tree the cub still sat, desperate cries for food leaving its little throat, and slowly Romani set the mouse’s lifeless body before the cub, which immediately quieted down. Intrigued, the cub sniffed at the mouse before beginning to eat, albeit slowly. It was clear that she was still supposed to be on her mother’s nutritious milk, but there was no way that Romani could provide that.

Watching the cub eat, however, the warrior’s chest puffed out in pride. She had done this, had given the helpless creature food when it needed to eat. Perhaps this wouldn’t be as hard as she had originally thought… Lost in her thoughts, Romani’s azure gaze was immediately drawn by the sight of a raven landing a few paces away, nearby where she had killed the mouse. Perhaps the blood had drawn the scavenger in for a feast? Glancing once more to the cub, who was quite happily eating her meal, the Haflinger turned to focus her attention on the raven. It seemed distracted, pecking at the ground in search for a meal. Perhaps she could trample the avian, much like she had done with the mouse? It would be difficult, however; one wrong move and it’s silky black wings could take the raven far into the air and from her grasp.

Picking her way carefully through the brush, Romani abruptly pushed into a canter, hoping to take the bird by surprise. Hopefully she could crowd the bird enough with her massive size that it wouldn’t be able to gain flight, and perhaps run it over.
