Suki huffed as she glared at Thea. 'Thea! You fat horse, stop eating and listen to me!' Thea, seeming mildly offended by what Suki had said, lifted her head out of her hay to give the girl a bored look. Groaning, Suki rolled her eyes. She was well aware of the equestrian teacher tapping her foot, waiting. The teacher had instructed Suki to make the horse kneel, stand on her hind legs, then go into the stall. Suki was expected to this with only speaking to Thea mentally. Puffing up her chest and giving the horse a fierce look she commanded, 'Thea! Kneel, stand, and go to bed!'. Shockingly enough, the horse did as she was told. "See that? You just be firm with her." The instructor told Suki, clearly pleased. "Yeah, yeah. I know." Suki brushed her off, scooping up her bag and turning to leave. She had only been at the school for a week, and apparently when you come you are assigned to an animal. In her case, because she was the horse, she got a laziest, fattest, and most irritating horse around. Really, Thea was only stubborn, -like Suki- but she refused to just say that. Each student was supposed to grow a bond with their animal, but both Thea and Suki were too headstrong to go that far. Sure, they had their adorable moments were they would sit together and Thea would let Suki brush her black and white coat, but other then that they really didn't get along much. Suki was also very empathectic and felt bad that the horse had to spend to much time in it's still, but Thea was too lazy to do anything outside other then eat grass. Glancing up at the sky, she decided that it was about noon. Tonight was a full moon, and she knew what that meant. Her stomach churning, she sat on a bench outside the girls' dorms and held her head in her hands.
Maura held a hand out in front of her, allowing Rya to sniff her palm. Glancing over, she saw Suki and Thea having another battle of wills. Maura got along with her wolf, Rya, fairly well. At first she thought Rya would tear her throat out, but they quickly grew accustomed to each other. But Suki was so lucky. She could actually speak to her animal, and Thea would actually understand. With Rya, it was a completely different story. Suddenly Maura was torn away from her thought as she was head-butted by her wolf. "oof!" She huffed as Rya stood over her, one ear up and the other lying flat against his head. "If you want to keep that pretty little head of yours, I would pay attention!" The teacher called, but they both knew Rya would never hurt her. Chuckling, she pushed the black wolf off of her and shot him a look. "I've gotta go, Ry. Don't cause any trouble." She told him as she stepped out of the habitat that he and his sister stayed in. His sister, Mai, was a lot friendlier and sweet but Maura still adored her Rya. She liked the challenge of trying to understand how he thought, and trying to get him to follow her. Sighing, Maura passed Suki and glanced over at the Avery. Whenever she passed the crows, she could feel one of them staring at her. Not in a 'I'm going to peck your eyes out' sort of way, but a softer look. It kind of creeped her out. This was one of those moments were she wished she was a horse, so she could know what the big black bird was thinking.
