It's a zoo. What else is there to say?

After a couple of hours, several turnarounds, stopping for directions, and being stuck in traffic. Ronin finally reaches the main gates of the Bronx Zoo. His senses were overwhelmed by the sounds and smells of New York, but he pushed that aside as he parked his bike, walked up towards the front gate, and stood in line. Hello sir how may help you? The person at the ticket counter asked him. Yes my name is Ronin, I'm her.. He didn't get a chance to finish his sentence. Oh, Ronin the tiger specialist. Hold on one moment. He does a small bow with his head as she picks up the phone. A minute later she puts down the phone. The manager will be with you shortly, you may go on in. Thank you. Could you tell him I'll be at the tiger exhibit? He says with a bow, she nods in return, and he heads into the zoo.

Sareena was walking around looking at all the amazing animals. "This is wonderful." She said to herself. She smiled

When he got to the tiger exhibit, he leaned against the railing and waited, watching the big cats go about their daily routine. A few minutes the manager came walking up to him. They walked back to the manager's office, where Ronin spent the next 2 hours filling out paperwork, and getting other things taken care of.
Welcome aboard. Can you start right now? The tigers need to be fed and get their daily exercise. The manager asked him. Who responded with a nod.
Hai, I can. Where can I put my things?The manager pointed to locker in the next room, we shook hands, and he gave Ronin his name tag. Ronin walked into the locker room, gently stuffed his duffel bag into an empty locker. He put on his name tag and headed to the kitchen. He prepared the tiger's meals, and fed them. After that was done, he let them back into their exhibit. He took a deep breath and opened the door leading to the exhibit. He took a couple steps out into the exhibit, sniffed the air and looked around. A large male Siberian tiger, named Bruno came up to him, growling trying to intimidate him. Ronin could hear the spectators began to get a worried, but his attention was elsewhere. Ronin locked his eyes with Bruno's and a low guttural growl came from deep from Ronin's throat. Bruno roared loudly and sprung towards him, claws and teeth bared.

Sareena was walking and stopped at the tigers cage. This will be cool. She thought in her head. She just stood there and watched the man about to be attacked when she could help.

Ronin smiles and jumps backwards avoiding the attack, he could see blood stains on Bruno's teeth. Screams of horror and panic could be heard from the growing crowd of spectators.
Hmm, so that's what happened to my predecessor.
He said to himself as he dodged another attack from Bruno. Ronin lowered himself to Bruno's eye level, and we slowly circled around each other. Bruno growled, raised up his upper lip, showing his teeth and his ears folded back. The pupils of Ronin's eyes narrowed to a cat-like slit, and his eyes became very intense as he raised his upper lip revealing his teeth which had enlarged canines. Ronin inhaled deeply though his nose and uttered a loud growl, it matched Bruno's. Bruno responded with a roar, which if he could talk would say. "I am the Alpha! This is my territory. Leave or I'll kill you." Ronin took in another deep breath and released a massive roar, that basically said. "NO I am Alpha! This is my yard! Yield to me!" Bruno charged towards Ronin, who stood his ground showing no signs of fear or backing down. When Bruno was within a foot of Ronin, he sprung into the air. Ronin coiled his leg muscles and sprung into the air and hit Bruno in the stomach with his shoulder, tackling the big cat to the ground. They rolled around on the ground for a while, Ronin pinned Bruno, his mouth on Bruno's neck. Ronin was bleeding from claw marks in places where his reinforced gi didn't protect him. There were several wounds on both his arms, and one scratch mark on his left cheek. Panting Ronin slowly got off of Bruno, took a couple steps back, and sat down on the ground. Bruno quickly rolled over, he was panting as well, and he slowly walked over to me. The crowd had dissipated in the middle of the skirmish, and had been replaced with the NYPD, who had their weapons pointed at Bruno, and the zoo manager. Bruno nuzzled Ronin forehead with his own, purring. Ronin purred back and looked up at the crowd and yelled as Bruno laid down on my right side.
It’s alright! He won’t hurt anybody anymore!
Ronin and Bruno watched the NYPD disperse and after a few minutes he got up and walked out of the exhibit. He was approached by the manager who was not to happy. In fact he was livid.
What was that all about?! You could have been killed!! He shouted at him. Ronin bowed and said gently.
My sincerest apologies.
Go home, I'll see you tomorrow. The manager said with a pat on Ronin's shoulder. Ronin was slightly amazed he didn't get fired, but he didn't argue. He washed up, grabbed his bag, and walked out of the employees’ door to find his bike gone.

Ronin growled deeply as he inhaled deeply, trying to control his anger. "Dang it I just finished paying for that blasted thing to." He thought to himself. He could sense he was being followed, he looked slightly towards the right and out of the corner of eye he saw young girl. He exhaled his breath, purging most of his frustration. He slowly turned around, set down his bag, and pulled out the katana from his bag. He slid it under his belt at his left side, he locked his eyes with her.
Yes, may I help you? His voice was gentle but you can feel his dominance and ferocity radiating off of him.

"Are you going to try and fight me?" She said angerly as she growled at him.

Sitting on a lamp post above them, Krey, in his hawk form, gave a little "caw" as he watched the two. He didn't want to see them fight, but knew that it would probably happen.

The five year old didnt hear anything from the tiger tamer again so she turned around and started to walk. She got tired so she went to sit down on the bench. She sighed "I am so bored." She said to herself.

He cocks his head to the side and watches as the girl walks away and the man stands there. Krey decides to follow the girl and follows her to a park. He doesn't exactally know how to approach her, but decides to have some fun, so he flys down and lands on the park bench next to her.

Thinking a bit, he decides to play along for a while. He carefully flaps his wings and softly lands on her finger.

She looked at the birds eyes. "Hmmm you remind me of a normal human." She said with a curious look on her face.
