we bare bears

Seere seemed to accept her explanation, this wasn’t some monster to be feared, it was just another threat to be driven back. Venom could have convinced it away on her own, but she believed that Seere deserved a chance to learn. Plague wouldn’t chastise her too harshly for such an event. Not that Venom was expecting the girl to rush forward on her own. She should have stayed back a little, but Venom could correct her once the fight was over. There was no fear after her aunt told her what they were fighting. As Seere danced away Venom moved forward, "Stay back,” she warned as she leapt forward. Seere’s little barks spurned her on towards the beast. Venom slashed with her sharp claws, scratching the bears nose as it roared in anger at her. As soon as she drew blood though, it seemed to rethink its decision. There wouldn’t be much more fight in the bear, stealing from Ashen wasn’t worth the pain.
