tell a truth most dire

Lumine is spending the day with Bjorn. On their way toward the crypt, he stops, nose scenting something that she doesn't catch right away. It's not until he speaks and turns to her that her nose catches it too. Before she can deter him from the enticing fight, he's off and running toward the knolls. Cursing under her breath, Lumine takes off after the boy, close on his heels.

When she crests the knoll beside him, she watches with wide eyes at the sight of someone lese already engaging with the ursine. Impressed by the boy's tenacity, Lumine follows suit and heads down the knoll toward the bear. Still healing from her recent maim from the woods, she takes a cautious stance this time around. Winding around the backside of the bear, she lunges for the bear's back ankles. As long as it doesn't swing around to swat at her, she'll be safe picking away at its tendons.
