Raelyn

All Raelyn could do was stare.
Oh, sure, it had been strange enough to see the tiger swarm over her fence, cow her dogs, and herd her horses, but it had never occurred to her that the tiger might, in fact, not be a tiger at all. Had there been a trace of the Attuned bond, she might have known, but even when she'd been in her wolf form, there had been nothing. And yet... here was a woman, apparently a little older than she, with white-blond hair and a demeanor that was, apparently, somewhat soothing to the young foal, who quieted in her arms.
Then again, maybe she'd simply scared it into obedience.
Raelyn approached cautiously, not wanting to startle the poor creature, who had undoubtedly had its share of surprises today. "That was rather unexpected," she informed the woman, who, upon closer inspection, appeared to have horns. Understanding flooded Raelyn, and she thought of Dantalion and the chickens he'd eaten on the day they'd met. At least this Ancient didn't seem to be pilfering the area's livestock. "Thank you," she added, inclining her head gratefully towards the woman.
With the foal restrained, Raelyn moved forward to examine its feet and legs, searching for the problem that had led it to lameness. Fortunately, it appeared to be a simple abscess which, although annoying for all involved, would likely not lead to permanent damage. It was no surprise, what with all the rain they'd had last season. "Do you mind holding him while I drain and bandage the foot?" she asked her companion before moving towards the fence line for supplies.
