i try warning myself

There was a smell he knew, too close to the borders. So he had followed it. Had to make sure it wasn't anywhere near Sprig or Bowen. Or at least that's how he landed here. His fiery gaze on its backside, creeping along silently as his raven gave low croaks overhead. Damn coward the bird was. The spring was just starting here in Auster and he would be damned if the bear got closer to the borders. Aspen trees were his camouflage and cover for the moment. Then the bear is going for.... was that a dog or a wolf? Whatever, didn't matter.

Titus was a ball of fluffy fury and fire after a roll of his shoulders. He charged and the first thing he sunk his jaw in was the bears foot with a holler. "No ya don't ya big ugly bastard." His jaws clamed tight and his eyes were narrowed. He figured he looked pretty fucking awesome and cool. And from the frontside came his wolverine shouting his own words, "Run kid!" Then Nikolai was launching and biting into the bear's face as it went to stand, both boys locking their jaws and readying for whatever the bear had.
