Angry when they wake up

This place had promise.  Kotori had to admit the trees here were a pleasant sight in the springtime.  He could scent various rabbits and small game hidden in the grass about the region.  Kotori mused over the idea of claiming this land but only mildly with his mind more set on ocean-side turf.  It seemed a favorite of numerous packs to have at least some connection to the salty waters.  Most of the time he approved of this idea, at least in areas where the beach wasn’t overly cold.

Kotori had a peaceful feeling here, calm, and just enjoying the scenery.  That was before a bear showed up.  It was a male grizzly and while on the leaner side from all its hibernating the beast was certainly a large one, well on in years.  The grizzly stood up, making a few gruffing sounds before roaring at Kotori.  Scars could be seen in various areas, some likely from fights with other species but some potentially from other bears.

Kotori snarled at the bear as the two approached each other.  Kotori moved first, darting around to the bear’s left side, noticing how the bear was doing a better job than Kotori would have expected at moving fast to keep up.  It took nearly two spins about before Kotori pivoted, surprising the bear and getting a fast bite at the ursine’s front leg, giving it a good shake before lunging away from its mouth.
