"You okay?" The bear asked me suddenly and that got me out of my trance.
I had heard him talking to the human, his name apparently Tamotsu, about the weather. I hadn't seen a storm like this since... well... never. I guess it was pretty bad... and did I seem that out of it? There was no one to piss me off so I guess I was fine... but looking suicidal, with the bandages and all... and I was staring at a wall. Damn, I'm in an idiot.
"Yeah, you sure about the weather?" I asked, wondering if any of it was even possible. Weather...? Like this? Was it even possible in this terrain? Eh, whatever.
"The air pressures are rising, and there’s a strong southern wind coming. Where we are anything coming from the north, baring maple syrup, is bad." And apparently, it was bad. The thought of the lioness and her cubs came to mind and I knew they would be okay... Good thing I smelled rabbit in their cave.
The bear then looked me over visually and looked at my shoulder. It did hurt... and it wasn't really healing... I guess I would have to put it back in its place, just like my leg... That would be very painful.
"Well, I hate to do this to you, but one way or another I have to get you moving." Excuse me? He was going to do what?
My eyes twisted towards him.
"Where?" The bear leaned over and picked me up carefully with his teeth and kept me in his teeth, my body length wise, my chest in his mouth, with some of my chest showing at the top of his teeth with my head, and my lower half just practically dangling. This was weird.
"Hueman's and Fauna’s Ski Resort and Hotel," He told me and just looked at his teeth and then at him.
"What?" I asked slightly cold, and he looked at me.
"We need to get out of this storm. It's getting worse by the minute, and we need to move. It's cheap and it's not the best place, but it's out of the storm. I don't like the idea either," He sighed as we walked into his den and I grabbed the bags laying near the wall and then he set me up right, and I leaned back to the wall, since it was mainly the only thing I could do.
"Well, I can understand that, at least, but why do I have to be in your teeth, besides my leg and shoulder being injured?" I asked but he didn't answer. I just rolled my eyes.
"I never found out your name," I said simply, realizing this was true and I had nothing else to ask.
"Zarzucha."
"I'll just call you Zar."
