[She nods slightly. For all her intelligence and looking human, Li was still a Kelpie at her core, guided by her instincts. ]

Yeah, they are. When I was with the right stallion, he was irresistible. We moved together in and out of the water, mated often and spent as much time with each other as possible.

When both of your goals are the same...For us, creating a foal was our driving force and when the season ended, we'd part ways. I'd go back to the herd and they'd either rejoin with me or take off. At least, that's how it is with other Kelpies.

[She fell silent for a moment and kept in step with Albus.]

With domesticated horses...It's a little more feral. We entice, they mount.. we try to get as much as we can out of them before their owners realize their stallions are into something they shouldn't be and take off. It's definitely not like being with another Kelpie.

But, with the season on us, the end results the same. Either you're with foal or you aren't. Half the time I never saw the stallion again after the season was over. And with humans, I have no idea what it's like.

[She shrugs a little.]

I usually just entice them and then eat them. Maybe they get far enough to get my shirt off but, that's about it.
