Raelyn

Well, this was... different. The woman considered the tiger, her head tilted to one side and her brows creased in confusion. She admittedly had little experience with big cats like this, but weren't they usually supposed to be... fierce? Hungry? This one seemed more interested in playing games than eating her livestock, and Raelyn was extremely puzzled as a result. But hey, who's to look a gift... tiger... in the mouth?
"Alright," she called to the tiger, as though it were one of the dogs. "But if you eat my horses, I will be very upset with you." I mean, hell, for that matter, it might still decide to eat her, but she would have to cross that bridge when they got to it.
Or, you know, hopefully not.
So Raelyn walked cautiously towards the herd, which milled about anxiously on the other side of the pasture, looking back and forth between the horses and the tiger with a raised brow. Even her dogs seemed to have picked up on the change, and they ranged around her silently. With the horses cornered at the end of the pasture, they'd have to work carefully to let out all but the foal. Fortunately, this was a game the dogs knew all too well. They took up positions and inched forward with the tiger, until the horses began to rush this way and that along the fence. Then they paused while one or two at a time escaped the closing net around them to gallop across to the other side of the pasture.
Until it was just the foal left.
