Els is always, always very careful to watch Bill around other herbivores. It’s not because she doesn’t trust him, but because he’s a very large tiger, and Els knows that anything Bill does can be interpreted as threatening.
Bill gets excited easily, and when he does, he is energetic and often waves his arms around, talks loudly, and bares his teeth. It’s never bothered Els, but she knows it will bother others, And Els hates it, because she believes Bill has the right to be himself just like anyone else.
So whenever a herbivore looks at Bill ugly, or even slightly frightened because Bill dares to be a happy carnivore, Els is absolutely mean mugging them. She’s the one they don’t want to mess with.
