Not So Lazy Afternoon

Lúta squinted near the base of an old redwood when suddenly a grizzly bear burst forward with a roar. She yelled and shuffled back, startled by the bears sudden appearance. On instinct her claws unsheathed from her paws as she swatted the bear right across the nose. The bear let out a roar of pain and surprise as it stumbled back, staring at her in shock and anger. Lúta wondered if she had crossed into the bears territory by mistake. She wasn't knowledgeable on the scent marks of other animals even though she intended to learn. Still, if she didn't cross the border of any predator she'd be unable to travel. It was a risk she just had to take though she hated to see it paying off like this.
