we bare bears

Getting away from her deeper thoughts had become a habit she was ashamed of. Venom knew she needed to face her inner demons but the weak part of her continued to ignore it. One of the best ways was to spend time with Plague’s young brood. Watching him become a father had been nearly as rewarding of having puppies of her own. As usual Seere was the most exuberant and easy to find for a little adventure. She was going to need to assign them to mentors soon and if she could spend a little time with them it would be easier to make that decision.

Venom took the girl to the border of their pristine white forests, letting her enjoy a short patrol that evening. The girl’s energy and innocence help rejuvinate the Empress, and it was easy to wear a small smile as they went. The journey was uneventful as Venom expected, but they weren’t walking for any length of time before Venom heard a disruption ahead. Instinctively she reached out a paw to place in front of Seere’s chest so she stopped.

"Stop, do you hear that?” Venom asked almost in a whisper as her eyes narrowed. Was that a bear?
