Into The Woods

"Koda!  Koda where are you?!"  Kenai shouted as he wandered around in his unfamiliar forest.  Having sort of got his bearings enough to realize he wasn't in the usual forests he was used to, the bear set out in search of his little brother.  If anything had happened to him....Kenai wasn't sure what he was going to do.  Although he had faith the cub would be able to handle himself enough, or at least stay hidden until he arrived, it didn't stop him from worrying.

Huffing a bit as he sniffed the area, nothing really popped out to him that caused him immediate alarm.  No hunters seemed to be around and he saw no evidence to the contrary.  His little ears twitched a bit as he soon heard the sound of rushing water.  A river!  Perfect.  Koda had to be here.  Picking up speed, he rushed to it.  That is until the scent of a foreign bear caught his attention.  Uh oh.  Being in such an unfamiliar area, he wouldn't know anything about the other.

Still, he had to know if the other saw his companion.  Slowing his running down, he showed up in the clearing and was blown away by the size of the other bear.  He could have sworn he was bigger than Tug.  "Uh excuse me?"

Kenai took a small step back as the bigger bear looked him with those crimson eyes.  Was something wrong with this other bear?  Was he sick?  Either way, it left Kenai feeling a bit off.  There was just something about him that Kneai wasn't liking.  But the sooner he could find Koda the better.  "I'm sorry to bother you, but have you seen an extremely talkative cub around here?"

He didn't want to go into too deep of an explanation, just in case the other bear couldn't be trusted.  Kenai didn't know if this was his territory and if he had run into Koda...No Kenai, don't think about that.
