Bear of a Temper [Fighting Skill Prompt]

A familiar male voice howled for a healer over the sound of large paws racing over sand, and the Spirit’s eyes flickered open again to see Song looking alarmed. Her eyes were clear and alert, if pain-filled, and through his stuttering she smiled easily, and ruefully. A soft chuckle escaped as she commented, “Did I mention this continent could be challenging?”
