The woman was amenable and while Valentine wouldn't admit it out loud, he was relieved. Bears were no laughing matter and this particular one, seeing as it was bucking the hibernation trend, concerned him. While bears didn't sleep the winter away, they did (in his experience) stick pretty close to their dens. This one was an exception.

In response to Valdis' second question, Valentine shook his head and said, "Harass until it decides its had enough and goes home." Killing it struck him as both unnecessary and too ambitious. He shrugged, then grinned, the expression somehow both eager and tired at the same time. He'd had a long day. "I say we just go for it. 'If you can't beat 'em with brawn, baffle 'em with bullshit' or however that saying goes."

The old king whirled around and set off towards the bear at a haughty jog. His plan was to harass and confuse until the bear decided to find an easier meal. He jogged a wide circle around it, his hackles and tail raised in a menacing display so that the bulk of the bear's attention would be on him until Valdis had a chance to pick a good, strategic position. Once they were both in place or once she attacked he'd join in, but he was a little too tired (and old, but shhh) to be starting the fight.

NOTE: Valentine has a female striped skunk companion named Lefty. Unless stated otherwise assume she's present.
