The move that Ashen was making was a surprising one, but ever the adventurer he didn't particularly mind. The only mildly inconvenient thing in all of this was the fact that he had spent so much time learning and memorizing all of the land contained within Ashen's previous borders and the areas just outside of it, only to have to do all of that all over again. Luckily their move wouldn't take them far so there were some lands he had passed through previously that he was already familiar with. This prairie was one of those places. Even though he had passed through a time or two and had been out at least once with some of Ashen's hunters to take advantage of the prey here, he imagined they would be coming here to hunt even more often now with the even closer proximity they had to this prosperous place.
He was moving through the open prairie, watching the herds of pronghorn move across the landscape and beginning to map out their movements so he could assist Ike with a hunt soon, when he suddenly heard the distinctive angry, huffing sounds of a running bear. His hackles bristled and he immediately went on alert, his ruby and emerald gaze darting over toward the sound. The bear was easy enough to spot as it charged in toward the prey that dotted this area, but it was the orange, cream, and brown flecked and spotted pup that happened to be in its path that he was concerned with. He didn't know why the young wolf was out on their own here, but now that he saw them in danger he couldn't exactly just walk away. He turned and immediately kicked up into a run to join the skirmish just as he watched the pup dart under the bear's paw and end up on the other side of the beast.
Remus saw the bear skid and turn around with visible confusion, the angry ursine huffing and roaring at its much smaller opponent that had clearly just become another irritation in what was apparently a really rough day. Well, Remus was about to see to it that it got even rougher. He managed to approach the bear from behind, avoiding it's attention until he was right up on the large predator and with a growl he leapt forward to bite into the back of its hind leg, sinking his teeth deep into the muscle there. That earned him another roar from the bear, but it also very quickly turned its attention away from the boy he was assisting and he was forced to let go and hop back out of the way before the bear's wide paw could connect with him as it spun around to face him.
