Eeva

Eeva walked into the barn, putting her hand over her mouth. "Johtua, hevosenkenkä..." She said softly, more to herself than any of the animals. "Let's see what the damage is here." She walked through the barn, assessing all the animals.

Shantii

Eeva's presence brought Shantii into a crouch, lavender eyes resting firmly on this intruder. With a silent snarl on her pretty face, she pulled her too-thin albino bod out of the shadows and came to face Eeva, fangs bared. Freya had told her to guard the animals... told her to guard... and then she'd left, and she hadn't been back. If she'd been able, she'd have let a growl hit the air, but if Eeva looked hard enough she might spy the ragged peice of pink that was all that was left of Shantii's tongue, effectively rendering her mute.

Shantii bristled and advanced on Eeva, not really sure what damage she could do, having had nothing to eat for a week, but determined to complete the task her mistress had set her to. If Eeva meant to harm anyone...

Eeva/Freckles

Eeva turned her head and her eyes rested on the dog. "Hello, puppy. Looks like you're hungry." She said softly, remembering to keep a submissive posture. After all, this was Shantii's territory.

Freckles tossed her head and neighed. Eeva quickly swung around and looked at the horse. "What a coincidence!" She said, surprised that Freckles was the same breed as Katariina. She stepped closer to the mare and patted her gently. Seeing that the horse was starving, she walked to the other end of the barn and filled a bucket with horse food. It wasn't much, but it should tide her over until they get proper care. She walked back to Freckles' stall and allowed her to eat from the bucket.

Once the mare had eaten the food, Eeva turned her attention back to Shantii. She clapped her hands and whistled, trying to get the dog to come.

Tage, Dart, & Others

Two older quarter horses were in other stalls nearby. Tage and Dart. The stallions bobbed their heads and whinnied to the human, trying to get her attention. They desperately needed food and water.

In a larger pen, there were two nubian goats, and two chickens; there had been three, but one was now dead.

Eeva

Eeva looked at the other horses. They still needed care. She walked back to the other end of the barn and filled two buckets with horse food. She brought these over and held them up to the horses, allowing them to have a meal.

Shantii

Shantii continued to bristle, watching carefully and following Eeva as she began to feed everyone. Slowly, slowly, she relaxed, pulling up beside Freckles. Freckles was the only one of the animals here that she actually knew, that might have been called a friend.

Eeva's hand motions meant nothing to the canine. Freya had trained Shantii oddly in order to prevent a stranger from controlling her dog, using her native tongue for verbal commands and hand signals that apparently had nothing to do with their meanings. So Shantii remained completely still, watching from the door of Freckles' stall, teeth still bared in defense but not overtly threatening.
