[surely this must be the strangest thing she's experienced here, even stranger than beasthood, which was something unwanted, but not uncommon.

sShe can feel the honey dripping down from the tight bun she'd piled her red curls into, slowly slipping down her neck, honey on just about every visible surface and it was terribly uncomfortable. but, she told herself that if it made her stronger, then it could only be a good thing. she trusted sensei Lawrence and she supposed that she ought to trust her fellow students]

Perhaps try to find a stream to wash ourselves off? But it can't be that easy.

[and the insects were getting closer]

[Trusting Sensei Lawrence was probably not always the best move. Some people were under the impression he was insane, but that really depended on who you asked.

He had retreated up onto a little hill to watch his students from a distance but could be there quickly if needed.]

Come on ladies!
Let's get moving!
There's nothing to fear except fear itself.
...That and getting stung or clawed to shit so don't do that!

[honestly, how did she endlessly find herself in odd situations? other than it being Trench and therefore made of odd situations. but she had said that if the bear would help, she'd be open to the idea so this is her own doing.

fine. find a way to confront the bear while avoiding being clawed to bits. the stings she may simply have to live with.

so defying all sense and logic, she goes towards the bear, fully expecting it to try and claw at her or bite her the second it smells her and the honey.

which was exactly what happened. fortunately bears telegraph their moves like crazy, so she's able to duck the swipe, crouching down. and apparently, this is a male bear.

so she tries to bring one bent knee up into the bear's groin]

[The woman's first suggestion had its flaws. Her subsequent reaction to Sensei Lawrence's goading has - several, which are now out of Paul's hands and in the swinging paws of a bear.

He half-expects to watch her opened up like one of the shattered hives, but she surprises him yet again by dodging and striking exactly as mercilessly as they've been trained to do.

Her move connects. Paul isn't sure this is the best thing that could have happened, the hundreds of pounds of already agitated bear now an extremely agitated bear, but that's the situation he finds himself darting towards instead of away from, in defiance of all logic, common sense, and survival instincts he possesses.]

What's the plan?

[He calls out, angling sideways to offer the bear a second target. He truly, deeply hopes there is one.]
