I wasn't even looking for trouble!

Rudy glanced to the wolf approaching.  It was one he had seen but sadly hadn’t put enough time into getting to know.  Well, no time like the present.  Fighting together would be a grand start. Plan for fighting the bear?  Rudy had always fought on instinct and the general dynamic was distracting for the other to bite and swap it out each time the bear’s attention changed focus.  Bite where?  Easy, whatever was open.

The question stuck in Rudy’s mind about if he could quickly duck in and out.  Rudy was tired of worrying though and shook his head, “I’ll focus mostly on distracting and getting shots in where I can.  You go for the big damage blows.  I won’t let him touch you.”    Rudy hadn't thought of how often it seemed he fought with his brother or Tika or those who he just knew how they'd react versus a stranger who wouldn't be use to any particular style.  Something to think of, when he wasn't fighting a bear.

Rudy said that then charged towards the bear that was already closing the distance, teeth showing.  The motley wolf ran towards a beefy shoulder as if he intended to take a bite out but even before the bear went to swat at him Rudy slowed down to watch the mighty paw breeze by.  

The bear roared and Rudy clacked his teeth making sure it forgot about his companion.
