Can we kill it?

The eagerness and excitement the boy showed at the prospect of killing the bear that intruded on their territory was adorable in its own way and something she was certainly eager to encourage. As much as she would like for him to be careful with who and what he attacked, there would be plenty more time and life ahead of him to be careful. He might as well enjoy the fun of going after something fun and dangerous while he still had her at his back to make sure nothing bad befell him. Manea hung back just behind him as he started to move toward the bear at her insistence that he take the lead, keeping a close eye on the bear in question so that she could jump in when needed. The bear didn't seem all that concerned or bothered by their presence, at least not at first, but it and Chade had a momentary stare down and he watched the boy with a smirk while he stood his ground.

Chade rushed forward, landing a bite on its back leg, and dancing with the predator as it turned toward him with a swipe of his heavy paw. She enjoyed seeing Chade square off with the bear, especially as he snarled and bristled back at the bear as it rounded on him. It was such a departure from how she had found him fighting the bear to protect Ricin when they first reached the grove and it warmed her heart to see his growth. She decided to jump in and lend a paw with the bear now mostly facing away from her. She bit hard into he back leg that Chade had already injured, worsening the wound and giving a few hard shakes of her head to tear though tendons and cripple the limb. She leapt away again as it tried to round on her with a roar, but it stumbled as its back leg began to buckle under its weight and it was easy to avoid its attacks.
