Today was the second day that Rishi had been in the town of Marigold, and she had already been on another request. She had kind of been annoyed with herself for working so much, but that train ride had really put her down in her daily income, and she needed to get it back to normal. Today she had been working for someone named Farmer Jim, and she was supposed to be helping him with some deer. She honestly didn't know why she had agreed to do this job, as she couldn't stand to see animals go, and she really didn't want to be doing it for money. She needed it though so she was going to have to do it wether she liked it or not. She had brushed both Venus' and her own hair, and then set out into the streets of Marigold, going down to the farmlands.
She honestly couldn't believe she could bring herself to take such a job, animals going to suffer for her getting money. She could understand the annoyance of the deer coming into the farmland and eating the plants and messing up the dirt but there was no need to kill them, even if some people did think they were tasty. What if someone saw you messing up their blankets and going through their refridgerator? Would they send someone else along to kill you? I didn't think so. Rishi really didn't understand why some people had to, just had to be so cruel to animals. You have a farm, eat your veggies, not the animals! There was no turning back now though and she would have do complete what she was going down to do, and she couldn't let anything stop that, not even her feelings.
She approached the farmlands and had just sat down. She hadn't eaten all day, and right out in the open fields had seemed like a perfect place to eat. She reached into her bag and pulled out a snack for Venus, and a sandwich for herself, with a small bottle of lemonade for her drink. She had packed some of her homemade cookies for herself, and some small macaroons for Venus. He seemed to love her macaroons, and honestly, she really loved them too.
She was almost finished with her sandwich when she had heard a rustle in a bush behind her. She turned around and saw that there was nothing there, but when she faced back the way she was she saw that the last of her sandwich was gone. She knew that this had to be the work of the deers, and she wasn't going to let them get away with it. She saved the best part of her lunch for last, and now that it was gone, she had nothing left to look forward to but her cookies and the happy face of her companion eating her macaroons. Not that those weren't enough, but she really wanted to eat that, and now they made her mad.
