I wasn't even looking for trouble!

Rudyard walked through the plains with no great fixed position.  He’d end up eventually probably at the water's edge for fishing.  The motley wolf imagined he’d have a spar again later today and perhaps make a snare but for now, he was just building up stamina some more.  He’d just been working at it after the bear attack when Oxx happened.  So once more it was an attempt to build up the muscles he needed to fight and hunt.  

Rudy was tired of others having to do more work because he wasn’t doing his share.  Blame the bear and blame Oxx but no matter how you slice it he wasn’t working and it wasn’t fair to the others.  He wasn’t planning to do any full patrol about the land but he had been nearing the border that would have led to the berry grove.  Even as he closed in he spotted a threat.  The bear was chunkier than another he had seen.  This one probably had avoided getting the sickness, and by its weight, he probably made out like a bandit where others went hungry.

Rudy howled for assistance with no intent to fight the bear alone.
