[I'M SO GLAD FOR THIS COMEDY OF ERRORS]

Oh! They're a lot cuter.

[their cuteness is being ADMIRED. but while they might be cute, they're also weak. give and take, you know]

[. . . wait. . .]

A sunbear?

[makeine]

A bear who's face looks like melted ice cream. They get their name from the spot on their chest though, it looks like a sun! There's a moon bear too, who's got a crescent shape on its chest, but it looks just like a little black bear...

[ yes she's thoughtless drawing on will's chest to demonstrate it. ]

[willandaway]

[MELTED. . . ICE CREAM. . . he cannot picture that one at all. he can, however, picture the bear with a crescent on its chest. especially as she draws the shape upon his torso, bringing a pink flush to his cheeks]

I don't think we have bears like that in Euchronia.

[a pause]

Do you know any bear facts, Anna?

[makeine]

Each moon bear's crescent is different than another's, just like a tiger's stripes and our fingerprints... If a bear's pregnant when she's hibernating in the winter, she'll give birth and the baby'll grow up over the cold months and be ready to pad out into the open world when spring comes.

[ walking two fingers across his chest... promise it's innocent. ]

They'll eat pretty much anything... and they're fiercely protective of their young. And they look so very cuddly, but you shouldn't hug them.

[willandaway]

[he likes it. . . and thankfully is also interpreting it as an innocent gesture. nO EMBARRASSING THOUGHTS HERE, WILL METAPHOR!!!]

Well, I did know that much. We do have regular bears in Euchronia. . . and everyone knows it's dangerous to try to fight one.

[even with magic, bears are a force to be reckoned with]

[makeine]

[ ... ]

You have regular bears, huh... but leopions too?

[ again, not what they were called, she thinks hers is cuter-- ]

[willandaway]

. . . what's a leopion?

[PROBABLY NOT??]

[makeine]

The... lion scorpion thing you told me about. Uh--

[ oh!!! snapping her fingers!! ]

The mandula!






[ no, girl. ]

[willandaway]

Oh! The Maneater Manjula.

You were close.

[do not give her credit for this, Will]

[makeine]

[ thanks for giving her the credit she doesn't deserve, will ]

Right, that thing! And you still have regular bears? Do they have two heads or something?

[ there's no way it's just.




a bear. ]

Have you eaten one?!
