Sticks and stones
May break my bones

Nikki didn’t bother with gloves as she left the backroom to enter the storage area of the zoo. Truthfully it was outside of Beacon Hills, so she had a bit of a run each morning, but it was nice and she’d like no other place to be. She went through the number of deer carcasses that she’d hunted for that morning, both on the side of the road and in the woods, and picked one that was almost perfect aside from the puncture wounds in its throat area, grabbing both hind legs in one hand, and both forelegs in the other hand. She hefted it easily, lifting it up into her arms and cradling it before taking the back way to the tiger enclosure, having taken the pick of the bunch for her favorite two animals. They were a mated pair, male and female, both Siberian tigers, in their prime.

She’d advocated for the zoo to give the tigers the better of the two recently built enclosures, while the lions got the slightly smaller one, and she was glad that she’d won. The shifter opened the gate to the enclosure, once again glad that the managers didn’t care much for the keepers and their actions so long as their jobs got done, glad they didn’t watch and see that she went into the enclosure, no barriers, to feed and take care of the big cats. She shared an agreement with them. They knew she was the more dominant of any of them, and they respected that, as well as she made sure they got what they needed and wanted, rather than the bare minimum, as any human with no higher understanding would do. Nikki stepped into the enclosure and latched the gate behind her, heading into the forest so that she was out of sight before she put the deer carcass down and let out a low, guttural sound.

Two sets of eyes soon gleamed out of the gloom at her and she smiled, stepping back and away from their meal before turning to leave, sneaking around the back of the enclosure and leaving, making sure everything was firmly locked and secured before she went around to repeat the procedure with all of the big cats and other predators in her area. Once that was done, she was ready to head out amongst the lagging populace, and for her to walk around and give out information should anyone want it. She did tours too, so long as she didn’t have any pressing emergencies.

But she didn’t have any more after that, and so she reported to the front desk to see what tours were left, and saw that the last one was only one person, raising a brow curiously but shrugging. She knew that later on, people didn’t spend time on tours, rather they saw what they wanted and left. ”You wouldn’t happen to be my last tour of the day, are you?” She asked of the person at the front desk, smiling a polite smile, even as she hoped it were true. She wanted to spend some time with the tigers before she made her trip home.

NOTES :: Feel free to join on in~ If they want, they can get a very in depth tour, and if they really want, she might sneak them into an enclosure, mwahahaha! xD
