Cedar Sweep put the pieces back together my way

The ivory female halted suddenly as she caught sight of the bear, her lips curling back in a vicious snarl. Never before had she seen such a beast, not even in her travels.
"What in the hell-"
She spat her words towards the great furry thing, unsure if it could understand her or not. Mortar surely wasn't something she could fight and get away with, oh no. To even try promised bad injury, even death. The odds were not in the queens favor. But now what did she do? Turning her back wasn't an option, not now that he'd seen her. If she had to run, she would, but there was no point if it wasn't going to be aggressive. What happened now depended on the bear.
