Bear!? Bear! There was a bear in the bath!

( So comes this startled and startling shout, as elsewhere in camp, Wei Wuxian is (unfortunately) streaking past in damp, confused glory, a bear of arctic composure lumbering after him, soap bar still in mouth. Come back! He was just handing the soap over, he wanted to help! )

[scrapgege]

Well, has it hurt you?

[weifinder]

It swiped at me! With claws! It's attempted a bear hug! It continues to chase!

[scrapgege]

Honestly, though, bears are pretty fast. I feel like if it really wanted to catch you it would have already.

[weifinder]

... I'm only half a wreck? I'm faster than a bear, my qinggong isn't affected at all!

[scrapgege]

... Really? I didn't think you could be. It's... not exactly a normal bear.

[weifinder]

... Neither was the wombat, and that was fine!

[scrapgege]

But isn't a wombat a slow animal to start with? A bear is faster in general?

[Why is this suddenly the topic of conversation?]

[weifinder]

Why do you think this bear is faster than a cultivator?!

( It's persistent and that is the problem! )

[scrapgege]

It's clearly a magical bear, and you don't have that much power.

[barely a drop]

[weifinder]

Not to lend, I have enough to use for myself!

[scrapgege]

.... That's the same power and the same amount?

[weifinder]

How much power do you waste?

[scrapgege]

I could feel all of it when I tried to borrow some, Master Wei. It really isn't that much.

[weifinder]

Hah, hahaha, you realise, the capacity of a god might be somewhat ludicrous compared to a cultivator, yeah? You know, the mortal kind of immortal?

[scrapgege]

All I'm saying is, if it really wanted to catch you and hurt you, it would have already.

[weifinder]

You are very uniquely considered, Master Xie, that's all I can say!

( because the bear, whatever it wants, has been no less dedicated in the chase than if it angered, which seems more relevant than hunger to him. )

[scrapgege]

Have you found a way to some help?

[weifinder]

I'm running towards the bear whisperer--

[scrapgege]

.... I'm sorry, what?

[weifinder]

Animal speaker!

[scrapgege]

.... Who? I'm sorry, I don't know anyone who can do that...

[weifinder]

Su! Xun! Xian!

[scrapgege]

Oh? He can do that? That's useful!

[weifinder]

( a general! sound! of agreement! but also! being chased by a bearitis! )

[scrapgege]

[Sorry, Wei Wuxian, Xie Lian is not unsympathetic, but he is very, very convinced the bear will not hurt you.]
