Staking Our Claim, Killing More Bears

Kotori had been working. Really, the only ways to find him were either working, sleeping, or eating as of late. There was so much to do! It had taken a lot of work with help from the others but one of the logs was now fully across the river so that one could use it to cross versus traveling farther down to where it was easier to jump across or normally slow enough to swim through. He wanted it to look nicer but for now, smoothing off the rough outer bark and having it firmly lodged into place would do. There was a second downed tree he wanted to position a bit farther down but that was going to keep for another day.

When Kotori heard the howl he wasted no time in responding. He followed the source and even before he reached the pair he scented the bear. Kotori came into sight and came up from behind the bear, running at full speed he leaped onto the bear’s back. Kotori’s teeth bit into the bear’s ear, ripped upward to leave gashes in it. He didn’t waste time before trying to bite into the bear’s skull, meeting that hard bone resistance. It certainly was a great way to get the bear’s attention away from Tove.
